The Smith family is deciding whether to buy a new washer or a gym membership. Which is the best example of a wise family spending decision?

Meeting to review the budget and decide between the washer and gym membership helps the family choose what it can afford and needs most. Buying on the spot or financing both without weighing the budget could lead to unnecessary debt.
