Abstract: This study overviews the keywords overspending, family, and sustainable budget from different perspectives in the existing literature. Its goal is to identify the gap through keyword analysis and formulate a methodological direction for the future, using an overview of the methodologies used for researching individual keywords. This publication is based on a systematic literature review, including articles from the Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. The resulting publications are analyzed from several angles, such as the number of publications per keyword per year, which methodologies were applied, and at which level (micro, meso, macro) the topic was previously researched. As an output of the partial analyses, both the lack of research on the sustainable spending habits of Hungarian households and the need for a methodology that can be applied for this purpose emerges. The results enable the development of a combined method, with which current research can be carried out on a micro level regarding sustainable spending habits in Hungary.
