[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do you budget for expenses a month?

Does your wife have monthly allowance  or a debit card /credit cards with her name that  she can use as much as she wants ?

What is a fair amount to spend if you have one child together but only one income ?

*we are middle class -300k a year plus random bonuses

1)  Just our normal stuff.

2)  SAHM - spend what ever I want without question.  No allowance.  We each have a credit card as a primary for the credit rating but both use both.

3)  You have plenty of income and are NOT middle class.  How is this even an issue?[/quote]

Not the OP, but if we were in one income of only 300k, I sure as hell would still have to budget. [/quote]

We have made half that, now slightly more and never had a budget.  If you have 300K, you can live very comfortable.  We easily do.  Its all about choices and how much things like your mortgage and cars cost.  We can easily pay cash for things like our cars.  We don't live lavishly but I buy what I want, within reason and its fine.[/quote] We have a $200k HHI and have a kind of reverse budget.  We put everything in Quicken and periodically look at it to see if we are over spending somewhere unusual.  We are both non spenders so it works for us. [/quote]
