During a recent event on family budget management, we asked participants what methods they use to keep their finances under control. As seen in the image, the responses varied: some prefer the traditional pen-and-paper method, while others use digital apps or spreadsheets.
What clearly emerges is that managing a family budget is essential for ensuring long-term financial stability and a more peaceful life.
Why is it so important?
π‘ Tracking income and expenses allows you to:
β Avoid unnecessary debt β Knowing where your money goes helps you make more informed decisions and avoid excessive or unnecessary spending.
