There are many people around us, where their income is not enough to manage a family how do you manage your family and economy? There are many people who manage their family very well even though their income is very low in their personal life, how do you manage it?
A man should always provide. This is what we have learned as we grew up. So doesn't matter what your income is, a man can find ways to provide for his family. I live alone so I may not know about it, but when there is a responsibility on my shoulders, I will find a way somehow. Maybe I will have to suffer, or my family will suffer too, but that's the push that I will need to expand my way of earning.
Here's an interesting fact. As a Muslim, I believe in it. So here it is.
The word Rizq is mentioned 123 times in the Quran and most of which essentially addresses how it comes from Allah the Exalted. It is He who determines what a person will obtain in this life. It is Allah who gives us happiness and Allah who sets the events for sadness. He is Allah Ar-Raziq and Ar-Razzaq

So you have to do what you can to earn but Allah is the one who will provide for you. But the thing is you need to try and keep on working. When you are providing for your family, their rizq(Some scholars translate Rizq as ‘sustenance’, ‘provision’ and some call it ‘blessings’. ) will also come from your hand. So somehow everything will be alright. All you need to do is work in order to get it.

I don't want to stir up religious animosity or controversy, it's a pointless endeavor. BUT. Referring to someone controlling your destiny is a very convenient and comfortable concept to absolve oneself of responsibility. If a person does nothing, he will have nothing. If a person works, has goals and the desire to achieve - he achieves them. Environment - imposes some difficulties/comfort. But external circumstances also shape ordinary people. Faith is for the soul, but not for business, wealth, and prosperity. Let's not try to mix reality and religion !
