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

I quit teaching to become a SAHM. My hubby passes me half his take home salary each month after I list down the things that I will have to pay for or buy monthly. I think both needs to sit down together to discuss the expenses, require lots of sacrifice to depend on single income (needs above wants). It seems like your hubby is not so willing to provide fully (maybe he has his constraints too). Need to ensure he is fully supportive, else issues will pop up later on and you definitely don't want to lose a marriage over money.
