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 never give me a fixed allowances. We paid most of our monthly expenses using cc n he will settle it when the bills come. My husband needs to travel about twice a month, each travel is 4 to 5 days. He will just check if I have money in my wallet. Then he just top up. I told him I am no longer working, so unless neccessary, I wont touch my savings!
