[quote=Anonymous]If this is true, it's sad all around.  Sad that the husband "gives" an "allowance" for household expenses, sad that there is no "allowance" for the wife's personal expenses, sad that the wife feels so insecure in the relationship that she's hoarding money "just in case," sad that she's resentful that his income doesn't cover their necessary expenses, sad that he "just did it" without more discussion...I feel like I could go on all day.

OP, if this is true and the only way you get personal money is by nickel and diming the household budget, you need to get at least a part-time job.  Not so that you can hoard money but so that your FAMILY budget has enough space in it for an emergency fund and personal savings.

I agree with the PP that this whole scenario gives SAHMs (and their husbands) a bad name.  For the record, I also think that working so that you can hoard money "just in case" your marriage falls apart is also sad, but I know it's much more common for people in dual-income families to have separate accounts or "split" expenses in more strictly delineated ways.  That was never our style even when I was working, but it works for some people.[/quote]
