In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Brian Tracy explains a few ways to take care of your family with money.

Tracy offers a few tips on how to increase your family's income, so you may properly cover the expenses of clothing, housing, schooling, entertainment and your own retirement savings. If you are able to properly anticipate these costs, you can improve your quality of life.

Some of these tips include starting a side business. At times, one stream of income is not enough to meet all basic needs -- you may need another source of self-generated income to help cover basics and cover other expenses.

Other money-making tips include investing in real estate. If you are trying to make a profit, you should look at property that will increase in value over time and thus, translate to a more likely source of money.

Finally, invest in the stock market. Though it can be important to remember with the stock market, it may have the potential to be lucrative but it does not go without its risks. If you attempt to move too quickly or make rash decisions, you may lose more money than you are able to make.
