This Assignment is to imagine a fictional family (or your own, if you desire). Set up a budget sheet for this family showing income and expenses for this family in a given year.
This does not have to be extremely detailed (in fact, make it fit on one page). It is intended merely as an exercise in seeing that a family only has a limited amount of income and needs to carefully plan its distribution and management.
The goal of the handling of the income is to cover all short and long-term expenses with an eye toward growth of financial standing (investments, savings, etc.).
