[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take all of this with a grain of salt as we are DINKS. We have just started tracking very carefully, HHI of 280. What your wife has here is a representative of what I cut back to after thinking that it was too much going out the door. [/quote] Following up: If she is doing the grocery shopping and cooking and is managing that budget then I think it's reasonable for her to have this "allowance." if you can afford it and she will go back to working later. Careful attention there got us from 1200 a month to 600 and it was me doing the careful attention. A better way to go about it is to have a savings goal that is reasonable and not somehow punitive of the fact that she is not working and let her work in that budget. [/quote]
