family budgeting
Planning home spending
Family budgeting is the practice of planning and tracking a household's income and expenses.
It typically involves allocating money for necessities like housing, food, and utilities, then distributing what remains among savings, debt repayment, and discretionary spending.
We started family budgeting after our second child was born.
