"According to a story which appeared in the May 99 issue of the Washington Post, FIVE HUNDRED EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS ($508,700) a year might be a good estimate of a wife's worth. That figure was according to a study by Edelman Financial Services Inc, based in Fairfax, VA.
The study used as its basis 17 occupations that wives and mothers typically perform and each job's median salary. According to Ric Edelman, chairman of Edelman Financial Services, the figure doesn't include retirement benefits which would increase the bottom line value of a wife to about a million dollars a year. With inflation, those 1999 figures would be considerably higher if recalculated today."

Are you really married? Or do you just keep your wife barefoot and pregnant? If it is the second, she deserves every penny of her allowance and more.
By the way, what are you deducting the "allowance" under --CHARITABLE DONATIONS??

Yes - you shold deduct $1 for every sock she didn't wash, $0.50 for each plate that is found unclean, $0.01 for every square inch of the house you meticulously measure that still contains a bit of dust - man - you could get rich followint the rules here...
Why the hell would you give her any money in the first place? I mean - YOU are the one out there earning it all - you should be able to spend it just the way you please - don't permit her to have any money for grocery shopping - you should keep the control af all the money you make.
She doesn't need that ******* nail-job, or the pretty lipstick, the make-up, or the clothes she buys - especially not the lingerie she had planned to wear just for you on your birthday - because you don't deserve a woman that has money to spend on herself, so that she can make herself look pretty for you.
You are a jerk and an ********. May I have your address, so I can come whip your sorry **** to a pulp please?
You are the scum that give us men a bad name.
Did you not have the same vows as everyone else when you got married? You know "To love and to hold, in sickness and health, for better or for worse..."
LOVE - means - everything I own, is yours equally, and I will go down on you for as long as you will let me. I desire to give you all the beautiful things in the worls, because you put up with me every day, and you are still here.
What a fu|
Don't be surprised if you wake up one day because scolding hot water is being poured into your left ear...

Does your wife's "allowance" cover any necessities or is it just play money?
Who invented the rules and has there been sufficient notice that withholding allowance would be a consequence?
I'm sure that if you treat your wife like a child, she could think of ways to turn the tables on you. Perhaps your wife could find something she could withhold from you, too!
Keep it fun!

Dear Paul; did your wife sign up for this kind of treatment? Whose rules? Did the two of you sit down and discuss "rules" and agree, IN ADVANCE, on penalties for breach of these "rules"? What's your penalty if you break one of her rules? Best thing to do is sit down and have a family discussion as to how BOTH OF YOU want to operate the household. A strict division of responsibilities is never a good idea, some flexibility is called for. And be realistic. If she's lousy at math, don't give her the job of balancing the checkbook. If you don't know how to get dishes clean, it doesn't make sense for you to do the dishes. Be reasonable, be flexible and be willing to compromise. Trying to strictly enforce rules only leads to resentment and worse. Good luck with this.

How about helping her out and both of you share that responsibility.. A marriage works better when you can do dishes too and clean the bathrooms and do laundry. This 2007 and that brings times for a change especially in married people.

If that's the type of relationship and agreement you have with your wife, a business one, then treat it just as the both of you agreed upon; but dont be upset when she starts deducting things from you for your shortcomings.

If you have an agreement with her on the division of household labor, then YES you should deduct from her allowance, because what favor is she doing you by refusing to keep her end of the bargain?

You should find out what the definition of WIFE is since you are giving her an allowance. She's not your child.

50 percent of marriages end in divorce.
Treat other people the way you would like to be treated. One day she may be the one deciding whether she gets to keep the house.

Yep. Just like she should deduct the amount of lovemaking she gives you for having a 4" member.
