Ladies, how much allowance does your husband give you each week? Mine gives me 50 dollars..?

My husband can be so sweet sometimes. When we got married he opened up a checking account just for me :) I have my own debit card too. Each week he will deposit 50 dollars in my account and says that I can spend it on dresses, decorative items for the house, a friend, sister or my parents or buy him something. He also has a joint account that he will let me use for groceries or baby needs, and sometimes clothing like a jacket or shoes if I really plead with him ;) He has it set up for a maximum of 75 dollars a day and will only give me that card on certain days but you can%26#039;t have everything...lol...well then ofcourse he has his own account with most of the money, i%26#039;m not sure how much he makes but it seems to be a lot because we live in a big house and he drives a nice car. Sometimes get curious and wish he would tell me so I could see what kind of percentage I%26#039;m getting but I know that would be selfish. Anyways, I%26#039;m just curious to see what other women receive. I%26#039;m so thankful

His money!!Once in a while he%26#039;ll give me whatever he feels like!
Reply:This is way too much controlling of the money on his part. Are you a child? You have every right to know where his money goes too. I%26#039;d try to look at the bank statements. Why the tight grip????
Reply:Your lucky????? Honey this is the year 2006. If my husband was like that, I%26#039;d be divorced!





It%26#039;s never just his money. and you have no idea how much he makes. Are you crazy! I have access to all the accounts we have, and can spend it whenever and however I want. Something sounds strange...... he doesn%26#039;t tell u how much he makes, you only get $50, he has limits on the accounts, and he has majority of the money in his account???? Doesn%26#039;t sound good to me.
Reply:No allowance here.
Reply:what the hell i make most of our household income and i wish i got 50 a week ...........but if you have a job and you are contributing then you should be able to spend more than 50 bux
Reply:I hope you are joking - what is - %26quot;he let%26#039;s me%26quot;? You should let yourself.
Reply:Well I get my husband%26#039;s check every pay day %26amp; I put it with mine %26amp; pay our bills %26amp; we provide for each other %26amp; our kids with what is left.There is no his money or my money cause it is our money.We are a team.
Reply:I need more information, like do you work outside the home? How do you get around? Does he pay all the bills? Does he help with the baby? does he help with the housework? Does he cook or clean anything? Does he at least clean after himself? I can%26#039;t make a decision without knowing how much his contribution is.
Reply:you are definitely being mistreated, financially in your own family.





The majority of people in this country, in any country for that matter, have a joint account, where all the money goes in and all the money comes out.





This way both husband and wife know where the money is going. Both will have equal access to the money and both are responsible as to how it is spent.





Do you know what your husband is doing with %26quot;His money%26quot;? Is he gambling it away, is he using it on drugs? Is he spending it on other women.





You are completely in the dark.
Reply:i am laughing so hard right now..
Reply:The cost of living is high.You should be happy that you have some spending money because I don%26#039;t.My wife and I both work and every penny goes into our home.life is expensive!
Reply:I don%26#039;t get an %26quot;allowance%26quot; because I%26#039;m not 13 anymore..sorry but marriage is a team effort and what%26#039;s mine is yours etc..





Ignorance is bliss but not when it comes to finances..what if you divorced and found out that you were 100,000 in debt. Thats right, you are now responsible. It%26#039;s time to act like an adult and figure out what%26#039;s going on in your household..
Reply:What do you need an allowance for, you don%26#039;t get to leave the house. You don%26#039;t drive?


Thanks for the 2pts
Reply:wow, you mean you live like that?


you don%26#039;t know how much your husband makes even?
Reply:i get 100.00
Reply:I have a income and so does my husband. He has a checking account and I have a savings and checking account. We did have accounts together but for us that did not work out. I know what his checks are and his mine. He knows how much I have in both my accounts in case we have an emergency, it%26#039;s there. We live happily this way. I aways say each to their own. Glad you get an allowance.
Reply:Girl, i think that there is no allowances in marriage as well as hidden salaries. What%26#039;s the point of asking for money if circumstances allow-go get a job. There is nothing more humiliating than asking for some 50$ for outfits and house decoration!!!!It%26#039;s impossible to get all this, first of all, and second, if he wants to have beautiful and happy wife he should not give allowances but rather trust the person he loves. I think he should give everything and more to the woman that loves and accepts him for who he is.Sorry, I am not married, but I know that those tricks are not gonna fly with me.Good Luck!
Reply:How ancient. You seem like a very dependent woman. I can%26#039;t believe he%26#039;s giving you allowance like a lil kid. lol
Reply:You are an incredibly sweet woman...


A true feminine delight for any husband..


No wonder your husband married you...
Reply:It sounds like you don%26#039;t work. Gag. My husband and I both work full time. He pays all the bills, I pay for groceries. Get a job.
Reply:Well, I don%26#039;t have an allowance since I%26#039;m not a child. I can buy whatever I want whenever I want but I guess everyone has there own ideas of how there marriage should work but I would say that the fact that you don%26#039;t even know how much your husband makes and the fact you don%26#039;t have a joint account is strange to me.
Reply:You are very lucky girl and husband must be a heck of a nice guy.


You are being treated with loving care, if a man treated me that way I would be with him forever. You have no idea how fortunate you are, because some girls get O, and they are the ones working. Keep that man give him all th love he wants , you fell into a bed of roses. you are very, very, lucky girl.
Reply:*blink blink


well if you are happy with the way that your life is what does it matter what he makes? it seems that you have it pretty good to me. you don%26#039;t really want for anything and you do have spending money just for you.


my husband and i pool our money and since we both work, we both have equal access to it. i don%26#039;t get an allowance per say. we just made a budget and stick to it.
Reply:You sound like a lunatic.





If you are married to him, you should be completely aware of his professional status.





Does he even exist??
Reply:I would assume that you are joking with this question but will answer it just for the hell of it.





I would never allow my husband or any male to give me an allowance. I know exactly what our finances are and have access to our accounts with just the same rights as my husband. If he wanted things to be any different than that then there would be a problem. Your husband seems to be treating you like a small child and if that is okay with you then there is no problem. But I certainly wouldnt be telling other people how thankful you are as it doesnt seem you have a great deal to be thankful about.





Oh and if it is a joke it is a good one!


And after reading your other questions I can only assume that you either have a very strange life or a big problem with reality!
Reply:My husband gives me 60 a week, but when it is all gone he will buy me anything that I want. No matter what it is.
Reply:I get the whole paycheck, he gets the allowance. If he is allowed to spend it he will spend it all then we can%26#039;t pay bills. I spend wisely though. Get what we need and save the rest. Right now he is in the military, at this point he is going career but that doesn%26#039;t mean something won%26#039;t happen, so I save what I can.





For your situation which I have to say sounds fake as all get out, you are insane. If however, you are legit then then you%26#039;re just well stupid for allowing him to treat you that way. That%26#039;s all I will say on your %26quot;situation%26quot; though because I%26#039;m not buying it
Reply:Wow i couldnt live with an allowance not after all that i do for him. I take care of my husband. My husband makes a little over $7,200.00 a month and he doesnt even see his paychecks cause i deposit them at our bank. He has never denied me anything. If there is something i really want but cant get it right away, he will get if for me later. I am the mother of his kids and i take care of our kids, i cook and clean for this man so when he comes home from work his supper is waiting for him and his clothes are clean so i think i deserve to be spoiled. i guess thats his way of showing he appreciates all i do for him.
Reply:Youre also very easy to please, I%26#039;m not the greety type who insist I keep all the money but you dont even know how much your husband makes therefore he could be bringing in about 5000 dollars a week and youre only getting 50 of it. It doesn%26#039;t sound like a bad deal but in a marrage everything should be disscussed even finances, and how much each of you bring in the household!
Reply:I just read all of your questions if all of that is true please go to the police and tell them about your life. Scary! And for your question I make my money and he makes his. We both pay the house bills together and what is left we spend on what we want. But really if that stuff is true go to the cops immediatley.
Reply:you are basically living like a wife that existed in the 1950%26#039;s... if something happened to him you would have no idea on how to manage money or take care of your self... each year you file a tax return and I know you have to sign it... well before you do... look on this first page and you will see his W2 earnings... first he needs to let you in on whats going on with the finances... sounds like you have enough money to get by on ... your lucky on that point... I could say more on this but it woud be very negative...
