[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An "allowance"?  I've been a SAHM for 25 years.  I went back to work part-time (15 hours a week) about two years ago when our youngest started middle school.  I have always managed all of our finances.  If anyone in our home gets an "allowance" (which they obviously don't) it would be my DH.  He has absolutely no idea what I spend and he doesn't care.   We are not wealthy.  My DH is a fed and makes about $160,000. Because of that, I've had to careful manage our money.  I do a great job of that and my DH is just happy he doesn't have to worry about it.

The idea of an allowance is actually laughable to me.  I wouldn't be in marriage like that.[/quote]

160K isn't enough?  Are you kidding me?  I know countless people that would be happy making 100K.

In all seriousness, finances is the biggest reason people divorce.  Every single Saturday, my dad and stepmother sit down in the kitchen, have all the bills spread out, one is on a PC, one has a spreadsheet with charities and other things on it, and they discuss finances.  It works.  [/quote]
