Managing family resources has always been a process, requiring
individuals to recognize that effective decisions cannot be made quickly and
that the evaluation of those decisions is essential for future decisions.
There are many ways by which a family effectively budget their resources.
It is important to set the family’s goals and priorities. Family members

labor and help speed up work and reduce stress. Below are some helpful
