Mengelola keuangan rumah tangga memang bukan pekerjaan remeh, apalagi jika penghasilan suami - bisa jadi ditambah penghasilan istri - masih tergolong pas pas-an. Dalam hal ini perlu jurus jitu agar ibu rumah tangga tidak terus menerus 'menjerit' menjelang akhir bulan. Salah satu jurus itu adalah dengan menyeimbangkan pengeluaran dengan pemasukan, menurut perencana keuangan keluarga Ahmad Gozali. Disini yang perlu diperhatikan adalah menyeimbangkan antara keinginan dengan pemasukan. Jadi keinginan membeli sesuatu harus melihat dahulu kemampuan. Jadi jika menginginkan sesuatu, lihat dulu apakah pemasukan cukup atau lebih. Jika tidak cukup, lebih baik jangan dipaksakan. Yang terjadi di banyak rumah tangga selama ini adalah lebih banyak pengeluaran ketimbang pemasukan. Mestinya setiap pengeluaran rumah tangga harus ada daftar prioritas sehingga tidak sembarangan. Daftar prioritas pengeluaran rumah tangga:
1. Zakat sebesar 2,5%.
2. Membayar cicilan hutang, jumlahnya jangan lebih dari 30%.
3. Menabung dan membayar asuransi ( 10 - 20% ).
4. Membiayai kebutuhan sehari hari ( 40 - 50% ).
Jurus lain yang ditawarkan Ahmad Gozali untuk mengatur keuangan rumah tangga adalah mengalokasikan surplus dengan optimal. Maksudnya, seseorang harus menginvestasikan harta yang dimilikinya agar tidak mandek, tetapi terus berkembang sehingga semakin banyak. Hal yang keliru adalah menginvestasikan surplus keuangan dengan membeli barang barang yang konsumtif. Jurus berikutnya adalah mengatasi defisit dengan bijak. Maksudnya jika suatu kali terjadi defisit, hindari berhutang dengan pembayaran yang berkepanjangan. Kalaupun suatu kali terjadi pengeluaran tidak rutin dan mendesak, maka solusinya harus ada uang cadangan, semisal berupa tabungan.
Untuk menyiasati harga harga barang kebutuhan rumah tangga yang terus meroket, solusinya adalah dengan berhemat dan kalau bisa mencari penghasilan tambahan. Jika belum cukup juga dengan penghasilan tambahan, itu artinya anda seorang pemboros. Solusinya, kurangi penghasilan, tetapi itu bukan berarti anda minta pengurangan gaji, tetapi maksudnya membatasi membawa uang tunai, lebih baik amankan uang anda di bank atau membeli emas sebagai investasi.
Kiat lain adalah mengelola dan melindungi aset dengan baik. Islam mengajarkan untuk memisahkan harta yang dibawa istri, warisan orang tua istri dengan harta yang dibawa suami. Hal ini berkaitan dengan hak waris dikemudian hari.

4 Mistakes in Setting Financial
But in general, each person may experience financial problems due to errors in management. Even so, it's never too late anyway, if you want to fix it. Here are basic things that cause the occurrence of errors in managing finances:
1. Feeling not have time to manage it
Many of us who often complain about not having time. But from 24 hours a day do you have, did you really do not have the time? Of course, you actually have the time: you just do not give priority to schedule financial management. When coming home from your office already feel so tired, try to schedule a money management is on Saturday morning. From paying the bills, noting the various expenses for a week, or learn the investment programs offered by the bank. Always remember, the more you delay this work, the harder you make a habit of keeping your finances.
2. Not doing financial planning
Said the financial plan, or a checkbook, often make people quit. So important yes, record every dime you spend, or restrict any expenses even though it was only bought coffee and a donut? Maybe it does not need sejelimet. But there is a more practical way to track where your money goes. One of them, using an envelope for a week or a month, like when you get a weekly allowance from your parents.
"The way it's still worth it to find out how much you spend in a week or a month, and this could be applied to the whole family, from you, your husband, children," said Peter Sander, author of The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Living on a Budget.
It's up to how you use the money, whether to buy credits, lunch at the office or outside the office, or just for transportation. Then, prepare well for snacks on the outer envelope of these requirements, such as buying coffee, snacks, magazines, or whatever. Condition, limit your spending as much money contained in the envelope. Do not add money into the envelope, as if the envelope is a phone that pulse to be recharged.
3. -Too much or too little-debt
Who says the debt is always a negative result? Debt will not destroy your life if you can use it for your next life. With debt, you can go back to school, which then can buy your rented apartment (so that you can use the lease payments to pay the mortgage), and even can provide venture capital for you. Fear of debt can sometimes make you lose the opportunity, but too much debt, especially if the debt exceeds your ability to pay the mortgage, could lead to chaos in your financial condition.
4. Depending on the insurance
You realize that the current Indonesian people have started to "insurance minded". Glad you had bought a life insurance product since 10 years ago, which still must you pay premiums for 20 years. You do not want to buy an insurance product or other investment, because it feels your responsibility to provide a form of security to your life has been done. Unfortunately, you forgot to take into consideration, inflation may cause the payment of insurance benefits next 20 years might not be too large value. Especially if you choose insurance products to the value of the lowest premiums.

Understanding Majamen Cashflow
Cash flow or cash flow is the flow of money that flows from us to get the money, keep it, develop it, and remove it by regularly, wisdom and discipline.
Knowledge of cash flow must be noted that our family finances would not be chaotic and monitored. There is an interesting phrase "do not care about your finances is a deficit, which is important you know where the flow of money." Let's discuss the cash flow diagram as follows:
Revenue
Revenue (income) is an activity that aims to put money / possessions. Usually the revenue can be obtained from the two activities, namely salaries and Investment.
Salaries obtained from our status as an employee / employees / professionals / consultants. In a family wage can be obtained by a husband and wife working.
Investment results obtained from our activities in developing the money / wealth in various ways. There are several ways you can do to invest the deposits, Property, Stocks, Business Results, Mutual Funds, Bonds, etc..
Well, all our income is usually stored in the form of cash or in bank / ATM.
Expenditure
Expenditures means all activities that result in reduced our money. From the diagram we can see the need for spending a lot of our family. So if not set properly then would make the family finances into chaos when it is chronic and can lead to the brink of bankruptcy.
In general, a family has some expenses such as Household Spending, Debt repayments, insurance premiums, Domestic Help, Children's Needs, Transportation, Zakat / Taxation, Entertainment / Recreation, Social Events, Fashion, and so on.
When we look over this, common mistakes made by most families are just struggling on income derived from salary continually drained to cover expenses. angat few of our families who began investing activities as a source of family income. And if we diligently invest, then the result of that investment has actually been able to cover all kinds of our expenses, even far greater than the salary that we receive during this.
The above description is an ideal condition that should be achieved by each family. If your family is still entirely dependent on the flow of income from salaries each month, then it's time for a little money aside so you can create a new revenue stream derived from the investment.
