Hi there!

I am a brand new stay at home mom, I am on maternity leave now.....

I was wondering, for all you stay at homes, aside from household necessities, do you get an allowance from your husband? If so, approximately how much?

We've been talking about it... and my hubby was asking me how much... I didn't want to give an amount too high or too low! :)

Thanks,
T

I agree, because of course, when you have a joint account with your spouse, things can sometimes get out of sorts if spending gets out of control...we have a joint account and so far keeping track of our spending helps us both spend what we want and save what we want...I agree, I think its whatever works for the situation your are in.
