WORKING-OUT
A BUDGET
BY Hannah Wing.
A Recognized Authority on All
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.


Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.
IT'S an old saying that you
must cut your pattern to fit
II your cloth, likewise you
should cut expenses to fit your
income.
1t is well to do this In family
council in order that each Of the
household may give some con-
sideration to their share. There
is an advantage in taking each
member Of the family into con-
sideration to determine If the
needs Of each have been ade-
quatey met. It often happens
that pressure from one direction
overblances the proportional
spending of the income and one
member may profit to- anoter's
disadvantage.
The next step is to make a
list Of the general things for
which money must be spent dur
ing the year. These, of course,
include food, clothing, shelter, ex-
pense Of operating the house
fuel, light, etc., health, educa-
tion, savings or Investments, be-
nevolences or gifts, recreation and
luxuries. Then. from last years
accounts or records estimate the
amount Of money to be spent for
each group.
Cost Of fuel for cooking may be
included under food costs, and
meals eaten outside the home
should come under this head un-
less the family decide to consider
these as recreation. Carfare to
and from work, If this is necessary,
is usually set down against shelter
as a saving in rents or taxes AMI
may be offset by this expediture.
Taxes, insurance, upkeep and re-
pairs on the house also come un-
der the yearly cost of providing
shelter for the family.
Fuel, light, ice, telephone, house.
hold supplies and furnishings,
service, cleaning, pressing and re.
pairing come under the head Of
operating expenses.
Divisions and subdivisions Of ex-
penditures are best made to suit
each family's choice and depend
upon what one wishes to learn
from this study Of expenditures.
To some the subtraction of saw
ings and income taxes from the
income and the simple division Of
the remainder into fifths serves as
a working basis for the considera-
tion of shelter, clothing, operating
expenses and development.
It will be necessary to make ad
justments between the fifths as
one proves to need more than an
other. The old rule Of percentages
does not work we'll for incomes OF
varying sizes and does not taltO
into consideration the question of
income taxes, an important item
even to the wage.earner.
