50 bucks? I had an EX who gave me about 65 bucks a week. It was cruel and no way near enough for me to even survive. I'm thinking somewhere in the three digit range but it also depends on how much he's making and if you are working. I don't see why you can't have at least some control over the budget as long as you're responsible about it.

I am on an allowance but I put myself one when my husband started working out of town he pays all the bills and we shop together when he comes home so the money I get is mine to play with he tried to get me a debit card and some credit cards but been there did that and I didn't to go there again so I get about 100 a week and I am a happy camper

Mine don't but he pays for me to get my hair done here and there and a few other "cheap" things I might want. But soon I will be going back to work because that's not enough for me. We have three small kids. I think your husband should give you some money.

In a marriage the money belongs to both people and you shouldn't have to ask for access to it. Not working outside of the home doesn't change that.
Your marriage is headed for trouble if you don't come to a meeting of the minds on this issue.
Money problems are power problems.

Get a job and leave him, you are a grown adult and shouldn't have to ask your own husband for pennies. In a household where the woman stays home, she should also be managing the finances. You are the one who knows everything everyone needs. He's the one who should be on an allowance. If he just wants to hold you hostage, forget him and move on.

Allowance??? We are not children but he lets me buy usually whatever i want to and he pays for it... I am spoiled rotten by my husband and sometimes i have to tell him not to do it so much! I dont need an allowance weekly to make me happy... If you need money why dont you take up baby sitting or something making money from home? Just a suggestion.

Get your name on the accounts & you won't have to ask for sh*t. Let me guess he pays all the bills to. Nip it in the butt now or you will find yourself dependant on him worse than you already are.
