Hi SAHM may I ask what is the usual financial arrangements with your husband? Does he provide a monthly allowance to you?

I am thinking to be SAHM after my Maternity leave ends and concerned about the financial expectations - I dip into my own savings, or hubby usually provides allowance. I have tried to ask my husband but he kept quiet when I mentioned on monthly allowance to me.

My husband and his family are supportive of me becoming a sahm, maybe because his siblings and mum are all sahm too.

After I quit my job, my husband pays for everything including my insurances and facial/hair/nail. My husband doesn’t stop me from spending because he knows I’ll think twice before buying anything.
