Sometimes, no matter how thrifty you are or how high-paying your job may be, money becomes difficult to handle. After you spend for the essentials, the taxes, the mortgage, cable, Internet connection, car, tuition, etc., your hard-earned income seems to vanish. Why is it so? Perhaps you and your family lack budgeting.

By including the whole family in the decisions in the budget, you and your spouse teach your kids essential life skills that they can use and pass on to their children. Your family would also learn to appreciate the value of things, time, and effort since you all decided on what to spend on and your kids are aware of how much money you have to cough up. Here are some tips you can use in making a family budget:

• Start small. Don’t quit on your lifestyle cold turkey; you may not even have to quit it entirely at all. Start with small changes in your family’s spending by cutting back little by little on some things like eating out, buying toys, or even on recreational activities.
• After setting aside the amount for the bills and groceries, make sure that you have a solid percentage of the monthly income set aside for your family’s savings.
• Look for cheaper alternatives to some expenses. For example, instead of buying new toys, look for garage sales. And do you really need a new sweater?
• Conserve energy. Not just because it helps the environment, conserving energy—electricity, gas, even your own energy—could significantly minimize your spending. And you don’t need to drastically change your lifestyle. Turn off unused lights, time your showers, or introduce your children to activities that doesn’t eat up much electricity. You can also save on gas by making sure that you get everything you need on one trip to the grocery.

But other than money, there are many things that we have difficulty in controlling. Check out our Sample Expense Sheets and Sample Printable Time Sheets so you don’t waste your resources.
