  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.
