Suggestive budget for families of small income

Associated Charities of Cleveland. Home Economics Committee

Abstract

In presenting a budget to be used as a guide by those working with dependent families or families of small income, it has seemed wise to begin with the material from which the budget was compiled and the suggestions for its use, leaving as a final statement the budget itself. This budget when completed is understood to be only a skeleton or framework, which must be clothed with the flesh and blood of the real family one is working with. It is often called a standard budget, but we must remember that no family is standard, that adjustments must be made in every case, so that the budget really fits the family under consideration.
