[quote=Anonymous]No, no "allowance." The money is the family's money and we trust each other to spend it responsibly. Which is not to say that we don't discuss expenses, and sometimes disagree. And DH definitely had trouble with the whole thing at first. But we got there eventually and it rarely comes up anymore. As for your DH wanting to cancel cable, that sounds like something my DH would have done too - panicked a bit and started acting out by making unilateral spending decisions to express his stress and resentment (even if part of him is on board with the SAH thing). Your DH may also be acting a little spiteful and cutting off the cable because he thinks/worries you might just sit on your butt watching TV all day (ha). But he may just be looking for ways to not waste money now that you guys are down an income. Let him cool off a bit, then try to set a budget together so you *both* decide where the cuts come from.[/quote]
