"Don't fall for the Pay Packet System because mum never knows how much Dad slices off the top nor when he get a rise or extra overtime. She we only wonder how he got the shiny new power drill or golf clubs."

A unique look into the kiwi household of the late 70's, Family Budget Planning is an interactive budget breakdown to get you on the right track with your money. I found the Average Spending Pattern page particularly enlightening.

Between the pages, the only interaction with the workbook was a circled passage: "Before we start let's all agree...all income is ours not... his or hers".
