"The
average family exists only on paper and its average budget is a fiction,
invented by statisticians for the convenience of statisticians."
Sylvia Porter
Unlike the quote
provided above, seemingly reflective of
general opinion on family budgets today,
we will attempt to take a much more positive
approach to budgeting, as a family oriented, user-friendly, financial management and planning tool and
life-enabler.
However, when
reflecting on family budgeting and inquiring as to why not more families are
actually using it, it becomes self-evident that similar skepticism runs rampant
and deep in reality and society, even globally so.
Once you start
probing family budgets, expending time and energy researching the subject
in-depth, it becomes quite clear, that most families are caught in a vicious,
almost never-ending cycle of “What comes
in must go out.”
Most families
might feel that budgeting is a futile effort, unnecessarily burdening them with
thoughts and ways, to go broke methodically and slowly, without the creature
comforts and indulgences of our human modern-day society.
Others might voice
that they feel as if they are merely throwing money away, in a never-ending and
dizzying spiral of spend, spend, spend. People are getting deeper and deeper
into debt, no matter how hard they try to get out of it. Questions are then
raised : How do we stop these courses of action? How do we change the thinking around family
fiscal discipline?
Put simply, in
“How to set up a Family Budget”, we focus in on how to empower families to set
up better, more realistic budgets, stick to them and celebrate their successes
(and learn from their failures!) . Get you copy of the Guide
