Family Finance

How do families build and maintain their wealth? This question has challenged families for generations. In business, any wise entrepreneur would develop a plan to guide the venture.

This book applies business concepts to invest in our families with as much focus and discipline as we do our financial assets.

As home life and work life become increasingly integrated in contemporary life, success (or failure) in either has an undeniable effect on the other. And while the profound events that began the 21st century have intensified the desire to focus on what matters most to us, there is still often a substantial gap between what we say matters most and the way we actually spend our time and money. Our credit-card and checking-account statements may clearly reflect this. But it is possible to keep both areas moving forward in positive ways.

Any group of people expected to work synergistically needs a system that structures their interactions.

Having a family budget can be important because when a family's expenses are being carefully monitored, it is less likely that a family will outspend their earnings, and more likely that they will save money. If a family is in debt, saving money is an important part of removing that debt. It is possible that if there was a budget in place before the debt happened, the family may not be in debt at all.
