It’s always about the economy - managing your household as you see fit.

The word “economy” originates from the ancient Greek word oikonomia (οἰκονομία), which combines oikos (οἶκος), meaning “house” or “household,” and nemein (νέμειν), meaning “to manage” or “to distribute.” Essentially, oikonomia referred to household management or the way resources were distributed within a home. Over time, the concept broadened to encompass the management and organization of resources at larger scales, eventually evolving into the modern concept of the economy, involving the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services in a society.
