In detail, money income, as defined in this section, captures the financial resources flowing into a family unit from various sources such as salaries, wages, bonuses, and dividends. Understanding this concept is crucial for effective family financial management, allowing families to plan for present needs and future goals. This section also distinguishes between three types of income: money income, real income—which involves the flow of goods and services available to satisfy human needs—and psychic income, which is the satisfaction derived from ownership and use of goods. Effective management of money income leads to better financial planning, purchasing power stability, and overall family satisfaction.
