[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I’s combined income is 10500/month after taxes.

I make 4500, he makes 6000.
Our mortgage and bills amount to 5000.
Childcare for two kids is 2000.
This leaves us with 3500/month for food, gas and savings.

We spend about $500/week on gas and groceries for both our cars. We spend $300/month on a bi weekly house cleaner. 
Our total leftover is $1200. I put about $200 into savings each month.

My husband takes $200/week for himself with no reasoning. He does not have parking fees. He packs his lunch and only goes out on fridays. He explains this is his "allowance" for his extras. I do not have access to this bank account. When he does show me where the money goes, it’s going towards snacks, coffee, haircuts for himself or clothes for work.

I take no money for my own personal use. After he takes his money out, it leaves me with $200 for the household and kids for clothing, haircuts or anything extra.

He is INSISTENT that he needs $800/month and complains we have no money otherwise. We don’t have any extra money because he takes it for himself! He then complains when I spend $75 on clothing at Target or Amazon for the kids.

I’m about to lose it that he thinks he’s entitled to $800/month for himself and leaves me and the kids with $200.[/quote]
