[quote=Anonymous]If my husband said that, I would cancel my plans to quit work. You HAVE to work out your approach to finances before you stop earning money, or you could find yourself in a very unhealthy situation. A healthy couple would sit down and figure out what the budget will look like on one income--together. That would include family expenses as well as how much money each person can spend on personal things--call that an "allowance" if you want. My mom stayed home with us before we started school, but there was no sense that my dad's paycheck was "his" money. She paid all the bills, handled the household finances, and was a full partner in their financial affairs. If your husband thinks that the money he earns is "his" money, you are in for a rough time.
