Managing the Family Budget

Why do so many Portuguese families, even those with stable incomes, struggle to make ends meet? Why do some manage to cope with unforeseen events, whilst others find themselves sliding ever deeper into financial difficulties?

This book analyses financial disparities between families with similar incomes and highlights the power of saving. Via a practical case study, it demonstrates the possibility of moving from a disorganised family budget to financial stability, using budget planning, tracking expenditure – from non-essential to essential items – and a review of spending habits. Without offering any miracle solutions, it provides you with a flexible approach for better managing your family’s money on a day-to-day basis and ensuring a more stable future.
