household budget
Domestic spending plan
A household budget is a plan for managing a family's or individual's income and expenses over a period, typically a month.
It tracks money coming in and going out—rent, groceries, utilities, savings—to ensure spending doesn't exceed earnings.
We need to revisit our household budget before the holidays.
