are you for real.. allowance ? don't she work.. is her name not on the check book..look if you are one of those men who believe the wife should not work and should not be on the check book and you Should be handling all the bills..well .. do you love her.. if you do think about this if you do it all then how will she be able to cope if you were to die before her..my bf knows nothing of fiances.. i am trying to teach him .. and he don't know about a check book either again i am teaching him.. i know hard to believe that this day and age someone 30 knows nothing about such stuff.. but if i die before him i want to know he is taken care of and that he can look after himself..if she does not have a job she needs one even only part time .. unless you are so wealthy that money don't matter .. in that case let her help with the family business that way when or if something happens to you she is not out in the dark and your children do not go hungry .. marriage is 50 /50...please don't tell me i am giving a bf who has lived with me for 6 months more consideration than some who has married you..i know me and him will never marry because of how he fells and i am good with it.. i have been there and done that..but if you have been together for years and she dont know how to handle the finaces you will need to over look everything she does.. i would hate to see you have to file bankrupty like my brother law did because his new wife knew nothing about budgetting..

The whole damn check! That is what my hubby does, do you know what I do with it? Pay bills, buy groceries, house hold items, get my nails done, Oh yes I do! (some times I even get my hair done oh my) What happens to the rest? I give him money as he needs it, see he is a real man he trusts me and lets me handle the finances, he usually only carries about 20 bucks on him at any given time, so when he needs money I give it to him, if I tell him to take it from my purse he will hand me my purse, he never ever digs in there, and guess what I am handicapped due to an accident I don't work and he brings home the Bacon and gives it to me! That is called a good ole fashioned honest trusting marriage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get over your self and give her the bucks or she may just give you the boot!

A married couple's money is each other's, there is no "allowance" bull. You'd be suprised how many women are better at balancing the accounts than men, my mom is an example. Allowance is for kids, and if a man is treating his wife like a kid, she needs to get the hell out of there.

Sorry buddy, but in a marriage every thing you have is hers and everything she has is yours. There is no allowance. You both share the money responsibly. Both your names are on all accounts. She should be free to do the shopping and buy necessary items to run the household. You should be free to spend on home maintenance and lawn care as you see fit. Big decisions should be shared equally. This isn't brain surgery hear. Not hard to understand. You married her because you love, honor, respect and trust her.

If she is a stay-at-home mom, my best opinion is you couldn't afford her "allowance" Read the following:
A full-time stay-at-home mother would earn $134,121 a year if paid for all her work, an amount similar to a top U.S. ad executive, a marketing director or a judge, according to a study released Wednesday.
A mother who works outside the home would earn an extra $85,876 annually on top of her actual wages for the work she does at home, according to the study by Waltham, Massachusetts-based compensation experts Salary.com.

Well, i can give you a good idea of what my fiance and I do. Every week when he gets his check we put so much aside for bills, gas, food, etc. then whatever we have left we split in half. But we usually bank our money to save up to do something really nice. I mean it all depends on your income too. I hope this helped you out. Good luck! :)

A wife is not a child and does not need an "allowance."

Allowance?Wow that's a good one I haven't heard that since I was in school.(smile)If the wife is trying to hold the household down he needs to give her all of his money and she gives him the Alowance (ha-ha)

Give her your check when you get it and let her do the bills and the shopping. This sounds like a bad episode of the Dr. Phil show. I'm glad I have my own job and money. This question is just wrong.

A wife shouldn't have an allowance that sounds childish. Ask your wife how much money does she really need for personal and things around the house and tip her with something extra maybe she'll have special outfits for you when you get home.
