What to Focus On
- Family income includes money, goods, services, and satisfaction.
- Money income is cash received from salaries, rents, interest, etc.
- Real income includes goods and services used by the family.
- Direct income is cash earned from work, business, or property.
- Indirect income includes non-cash benefits that reduce expenses.
- Both types contribute to the family’s overall financial well-being.
- A budget is a plan for income and expenditure.
- It includes listing needs, estimating costs, and balancing income and expenses.
- Savings and emergency funds should be included in the budget.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
