Do a budget. Write it down now. Gather your family and write a budget together. It is important to involve your family. Family finances should not be the sole responsibility of one person. With any family goals it is important that the entire family is involved in the decision making process so they take ownership to the success of the goals. Developing a family budget is the first step to making a difference in your family’s financial future. It is important that your family knows how much money is spent and how much income is coming in monthly. Including your kids in the process will help them take ownership to balancing the budget. I recommend that families develop an excel spreadsheet to list their expenses and income. However, if you don’t have access to an excel spreadsheet program, use a good old fashioned spiral notebook. The key to success is writing it down.
