Household Intertemporal Budget Constraint

Family Financial Planning And Budgeting. Families should plan in advance how much they may spend during the following 2 to 5 years in line with their expected family income during that period. In doing this, they should make allowance for any shortfall in their expected family money in that period. They should also put together their expected expenses in the coming 12 months matching it with their expected family money they will receive in that period making sure they will not spend more than they would receive.

A budget needs to estimate your average (yearly) income. Spending, which will be relatively constant, needs to be maintained below that amount. A budget should allow for error and so keeping expenses 5% or 10% below the estimated income is a conservative approach. When done correctly, your budget should end any given year with about 5% of their income left over. Of course being conservative and having more than 5% is never a bad idea.

Together with a little bit of self-control and help from a few tried and true budgeting procedures you shall be able to ensure that your household budget is rapidly brought under your own control. Not just will this make you feel much more secure financially but it will also assist you to save more money for those genuinely essential things that you may want to obtain.
