  In this essay, I aim to explore the income and cash management characteristics of the roma
  communities living on the margins of society in Budapest. In my research, my main focus was the
  way people are living in the segregated streets of “Magdolna district” reacted to the declining
  opportunities after the economical system change. Another question to be answered is what
  strategies these families and households use to provide the sufficient amount of income, and if
  there is any kind of economical or ’life-management’ community function between them beyond
  the segregation.
  After reviewing the job opportunities, I concentrated on the characteristics of the consumption
  structure. I interviewed them about their costs of living as well as the possible ways of reducing
  their expences. I also tried to examine how the cooperation of extended families effect the
  everyday life of the smaller parts of these families.

  In this essay, I aim to summarize the main characteristics of the relationship structure of
  poor Roma families in Budapest. The generational changes in the relationship structure are
  illustrated by interviews and a short review of the relevant literature. In my research, I try to
  find the answer to the question, whetherthe examined segregated streets and apartment blocks
  – individually or collectively – can be called a community. And also if these segregated areas
  have a describable connection limit, if we can describe them in a geographical or social sense,
  or ifthese relationship have ethnical boundaries. I recorded my semi-structured interviews in
  the 8th and 9th district of Budapest in 2017. I interviewed twenty people from ages of sixteen to
  fifty-five. All parts of the interviews are accompanied by the related analytical and explanatory
  notes.
