In recent years, costs have risen dramatically. While certain goods have been cheaper than they were thirty years ago, basic necessities have become more expensive. Middle and low-income families have not been protected from these increases. Those with young children and elderly parents are especially vulnerable. However, the Biden Administration has introduced several policies to protect different groups of families from higher expenses. While this may sound like a daunting task, it is important to keep in mind that it takes time and patience to build a solid budget that will support your family's needs.
