Managing family expenses can be a tricky task, especially in today's economy. How do you all handle budgeting and saving for your families?

What strategies have you found to be most effective in keeping expenses under control? Are there any specific tools or apps that you use to help with this?

For me, we make monthly budgets apart from the sudden expenses. It's not easy to make it and follow it. But this is the only way to check your expenses and save some amount of money. I don't if there is any other tool to manage family expenses.

It's very difficult to keep expenses under control, because commodities prices becomes too high and somethings are touching it's peak level. I have seen that in many places all family members are working to earn the living.

@SHAHID987 yes that is true. It's not easy to survive these days. But still making a budget for the month is always helpful as by that we may be able to check our expenses and get to know how much money we will save after monthly expenditures and by that we may be able to improve our life style.

Inflation is a real thing. Nowadays, almost everything is expensive. As a result, we usually make and stick to a budget. It can be difficult at times due to unforeseen expenses.

But when you have a limited source of earnings then it's better to control your expenses. There are lots of people who don't earn enough money even to feed their family.

Handling of the family's budget requires money. One must have a regular stream of income that can cater all the family financial needs and some surplus for the savings.

Because of this pandemic thing, I am still struggling to deal with this concern. But then, it can still be manageable and I need more options to earn extra cash, either online or offline.

Things are pretty tough right now, so one needs to apply proper management to be able to scale through. One thing we do is to set up a budget and time table for the week or at least two weeks.

No matter how you budget, you would find out that you most times end up overshooting your budget. That's because you buy something today and the very next day, the price doubles.

Managing family expenses can be difficult especially if the amount of money you are making is not much. But I think proper budgeting is one of the best ways you can go about it.

In this hard situation, only buy something that we need not what we want and saving more for emergency funds (we never know when we will need it). Thats why me and my wife always write anything that we need for a months
