My husband can be so sweet sometimes. When we got married he opened up a checking account just for me :) I have my own debit card too. Each week he will deposit 50 dollars in my account and says that I can spend it on dresses, decorative items for the house, a friend, sister or my parents or buy him something. He also has a joint account that he will let me use for groceries or baby needs, and sometimes clothing like a jacket or shoes if I really plead with him ;) He has it set up for a maximum of 75 dollars a day and will only give me that card on certain days but you can't have everything...lol...well then ofcourse he has his own account with most of the money, i'm not sure how much he makes but it seems to be a lot because we live in a big house and he drives a nice car. Sometimes get curious and wish he would tell me so I could see what kind of percentage I'm getting but I know that would be selfish. Anyways, I'm just curious to see what other women receive. I'm so thankful

Okay ladies to answer your questions: first my husband takes me shopping or my mom, or I can order things off the internet. And two, I am not allowed to buy tampons or maxi pads with my money.

I would assume that you are joking with this question but will answer it just for the hell of it.
I would never allow my husband or any male to give me an allowance. I know exactly what our finances are and have access to our accounts with just the same rights as my husband. If he wanted things to be any different than that then there would be a problem. Your husband seems to be treating you like a small child and if that is okay with you then there is no problem. But I certainly wouldnt be telling other people how thankful you are as it doesnt seem you have a great deal to be thankful about.
Oh and if it is a joke it is a good one!
And after reading your other questions I can only assume that you either have a very strange life or a big problem with reality!

Well, I don't have an allowance since I'm not a child. I can buy whatever I want whenever I want but I guess everyone has there own ideas of how there marriage should work but I would say that the fact that you don't even know how much your husband makes and the fact you don't have a joint account is strange to me.

Girl, i think that there is no allowances in marriage as well as hidden salaries. What's the point of asking for money if circumstances allow-go get a job. There is nothing more humiliating than asking for some 50$ for outfits and house decoration!!!!It's impossible to get all this, first of all, and second, if he wants to have beautiful and happy wife he should not give allowances but rather trust the person he loves. I think he should give everything and more to the woman that loves and accepts him for who he is.Sorry, I am not married, but I know that those tricks are not gonna fly with me.Good Luck!

I get the whole paycheck, he gets the allowance. If he is allowed to spend it he will spend it all then we can't pay bills. I spend wisely though. Get what we need and save the rest. Right now he is in the military, at this point he is going career but that doesn't mean something won't happen, so I save what I can.
For your situation which I have to say sounds fake as all get out, you are insane. If however, you are legit then then you're just well stupid for allowing him to treat you that way. That's all I will say on your "situation" though because I'm not buying it

Wow i couldnt live with an allowance not after all that i do for him. I take care of my husband. My husband makes a little over $7,200.00 a month and he doesnt even see his paychecks cause i deposit them at our bank. He has never denied me anything. If there is something i really want but cant get it right away, he will get if for me later. I am the mother of his kids and i take care of our kids, i cook and clean for this man so when he comes home from work his supper is waiting for him and his clothes are clean so i think i deserve to be spoiled. i guess thats his way of showing he appreciates all i do for him.

Your lucky????? Honey this is the year 2006. If my husband was like that, I'd be divorced!
It's never just his money. and you have no idea how much he makes. Are you crazy! I have access to all the accounts we have, and can spend it whenever and however I want. Something sounds strange...... he doesn't tell u how much he makes, you only get $50, he has limits on the accounts, and he has majority of the money in his account???? Doesn't sound good to me.

I have a income and so does my husband. He has a checking account and I have a savings and checking account. We did have accounts together but for us that did not work out. I know what his checks are and his mine. He knows how much I have in both my accounts in case we have an emergency, it's there. We live happily this way. I aways say each to their own. Glad you get an allowance.

you are definitely being mistreated, financially in your own family.
The majority of people in this country, in any country for that matter, have a joint account, where all the money goes in and all the money comes out.
This way both husband and wife know where the money is going. Both will have equal access to the money and both are responsible as to how it is spent.
Do you know what your husband is doing with "His money"? Is he gambling it away, is he using it on drugs? Is he spending it on other women.
You are completely in the dark.

Youre also very easy to please, I'm not the greety type who insist I keep all the money but you dont even know how much your husband makes therefore he could be bringing in about 5000 dollars a week and youre only getting 50 of it. It doesn't sound like a bad deal but in a marrage everything should be disscussed even finances, and how much each of you bring in the household!
