How much is your allowance from hubby?

[brendzy]

Sis Parissydney, try to assess yung lifestyle mo, try to check your closet, baka andami mo ng damit/gamit na di na nagagamit at nakakasikip lang sa closet  . I think, it will be better if you try a different hobby, like cross stitch, Zumba, gardening etc. baka kasi hindi ka masyadong busy at shopping ang naiisip mo to kill time.  I would also suggest if you don't mind yung mag online business ka since shopping is your hobby, I bet you're good at finding great deals. Goodluck sis!

When I was still working, separate accounts kami. My share with our expenses are the utility bills, I insisted on it. If I go shopping by myself syempre ako magbabayad nun, if kasama sya he pays for it.

I stopped working after giving birth. Separate account pa rin, Hubby pays for everything and my allowance was 25K per month. I usually save it. 2 years ago we decided to buy a house and I manage our family finances. I kept my savings and investments when I was still single separate. He let me have access to all his accounts, Wala na ako allowance. I tell him though if I made a large purchase.

[chinkywinky]

We have joint accounts, lahat ng sweldo namin sa iisang account lang talaga pumapasok. Wala akong allowance, I can gastos all I want, pero hindi naman talaga ako magastos. Saka may self-imposed maximum limit allowed ako for shopping. Minsan pati, may time na never ako nagshoshopping if I want to save for something.

Limit your shopping sis, sa 20k allowance mo monthly for sure makakaipon ka hindi mo dadalasan ang paglabas.

[loveleah]

walang allow allowance sa amin My money is mine, and his money is sa kanya, we have a joint account pero ako lang din naman ang nag pupundar, tinatawag pa talagang joint. Sakit na sa ulo if hihingi ako sa kanya, ako lahat ng bills, as in, he thinks given na na ako lahat. He only buys milk , diaper and food very seldom if pinabibili ko siya and hindi ko siya binibigyan ng money most times siya ang nanghihingi para sa mga business ventures niya na palpak naman most of the time, and if asenso, hindi na ako makakatikim. Still thinking ano ba dapat gawin ko, parang mas makakaipon pa ako if kami lang ng mga anak ko. Sorry for ranting here, parang malayo na ata ako sa main topic

Si hubby ang may allowance from me. 😄

He gives all his salary to me and I do all the budgeting. His credit card is also with me for my luho and other household expenses. I also work so whatever na di na kasya sa salary nya , we get it from my salary. Also our savings come from my salary.

So far so good kasi my hubby mejo magastos so he trusts me to handle our finances

[Leigh Anne]

nothing.. i don't get an allowance from him.. i am working but all my salary goes to our joint account, halos di ako nakakahawak ng pera ..i just have a credit card and a debit card para pay may gusto ako mabili ko naman..kaso matipid si hubby as in super kaya parang hiya rin ako gumasto kahit alam kong i am earning din naman...nawala lahat ng luho ko nung dalaga pa ako...

[crzysxycl]

NADA! Kada sahod maghuhulog kami sa joint account namin at budget para sa mga gastusin sa house. What is left from our salaries are our personal money. Walang pakialamanan kung san namin gagastusin yun, haha. Although minsan sinasabihan ako ng asawa ko na bili raw ako ng bili ng damit, eh sabi ko dun naaalis stress ko eh at kaya nga kako ako nagwowork para mabili ko lahat ng gusto ko, dahil hindi naman nya bibilhin for me, lol! Kaya pag may mga issues kami, lalo pa't pakialamera ang MIL at SIL ko, I am very proud to say na hindi ako pinalalamon ng asawa ko. Ang bitter ko ba? Ready lang lagi sa sasabihin nila, kasi ultimo finances namin pinapakialaman pa, as if naman no.. ang kuripot kaya ng asawa ko!

[fionaapple]

Ang arrangement namin ako ang naghahandle ng pera.
Di ko naman kinuha ang atm niya pero every payday nagtitira lang siya ng 3k sa atm nya for emergency.

Pinagsasama namin income namin tapos dun kukunin pangbayad sa laht ng expenses. House,car, bills. Tapos  yung iba sa common fund na hindi namin ginagalaw. Mahilig din ako mgshopping pero tiis muna for a few months kasi we are saving to pay off the balance of our car loan. Promise niya aftr mabayaran yun pwede na ulit magshop. matipid ang hsband ko at masipag kaya masaya namn  ako kaht nagtitipid kami sa ngayon.

[momxfive]

I'm a SAHM and hubby pays all the bills, never nya sakin pinahawak yung ATM nya kahit silip lang but I'm fine with that. Sa lahat din gastos nya wala akong say. Just last year binigyan nya akong credit card para daw hindi na cash ibibigay nya sakin and para maibili ko daw mga gusto ko kahit di kami magkasama. Hindi naman ako sobrang maluho though. Actually may joint account kami pero most of the time sya lang naman naghuhulog dun.

[ayami]

Pooled money rin ang system namin so I don't get money from him. Fixed budget every month, 50-50 ang hatian Ang allowance namin kasama dun, equal din sa budget cycle na to. Before, mas malaki sa kanya kasi di naman ako lumalabas ng bahay (I was preggers so less gala). Ngayon, I have other activities such kaya increased din allowance ko. Tapos sa work namin kung may bonuses and extras, walang pakialamanan haha what's his is his, what's mine is mine lugi sya sakin kasi sya gumagastos for regular movie dates, lunch out pag lalabas, parking fee, and so on haha.

[smile22]

ako nagbbudget ng finances namin. nasakin ATM nya. i give him his weekly baon for work. if he wants to buy something, we buy it together from our expenses jar.

minsan naguiguilty ako kasi, yung iba like mga ofcmates kong guy, sila naghahawak ng atm nila. pero hindi ko naman hiningi. sya naman kusa nagbigay sakin ng ATM nya. oh well!

I always tell my husband not to overspend just because we have a business or extra funds for now.  Wala kaming allowance, alam naman namin limit and hindi naman kami excessive.

[FayeP]

no allowance from hubby since he's a SAHD and I'm the one working....He gets an allowance from me though and since di naman kalakihan ang income ko, he gets 3K from me...pambili ng gusto nya, pampagupit, yosi, alak, shirt at un favorite nyang mga baseball caps...


for myself I set aside 2K to 3K to buy whatever na gusto ko pero di din madalas un...mas madalas nabibili ko for my kiddo....

[Obachan]

Wala.

Noon jobless pa ako meron,
Now I have a job na, wala na allowance.

Hawak namin ang kanya-kanya sweldo.
But hubby pays all fixed expenses (utilities, unit rent, mortgage of car and condo)
Then pagkasama ko sya sa grocery, sya pa rin magbabayad pero pag hindi ko sya kasama, galing sa pocket ko (kaya mas gusto ko sya na sumasama sakin sa grocery).

 

[eilegna]

Allowance from my hubby?
Ano yun? hahaha

WALA siyang binibigay sakin kahit P1
Tapos sakin pa lahat ng expenses
As in lahat! 

reason niya: since magastos ako, sakanya lahat ng savings para makabili daw kami ng car sa 4th quarter of this year. hmp!

[lordknight_aiz.18]

May monthly allowance ako from hubby since jobless ako. Im a full time homemaker. Sagot ko grocery and internet bill. Pero pag may pinapabili ako kay hubby, mostly baby stuff, sinasagot niya narin ang expenses.

[Prunella]

I work and I contribute din at home, my husband pays for the major expenses (insurance, rent, etc..) pero he still feels the need to give me about $2k monthly, for grocery he said, pero it's more of a principle thing for him daw. Okay lang sa'kin.  I like to shop. Plus it comes in handy for his birthday/Xmas/other occasions.

[leyjylle]

I don't have any kasi well provided naman kami ni hubby, kapag nagsahod na siya, he gets his allowance na then bigay na sa akin lahat..Diretso groceries naman and sa mga babayaran..His lucky i'm a low maintenance woman, i mean wala masyadong luho sa katawan..as much as possible i want to live iyong very simple lang..but i'm getting some sa side business ko kapag may nag order hehe

[sarsingkit]

We pool our money so I do not get to have an allowance from HIM. We both have allowance, same amount kami per month.

I do not feel comfortable with my husband giving me allowance just for wants, to be honest. On some occasions that he hands me spare money, I normally buy something for the house or anything that we can share.

If I really want something na WANT lang naman, I save up from the monthly allowance.

[kikaygirl5810]

Nope...i don't have allowance from him pero nung college ako i received 10k monthly from him...lol

Now he paid all the bills, like tel bills, water, kuryente, cable, housemaid, tuition fees, appliance and furniture na binibili namin etc...

Me akin ang groceries and mga damit ng mga kids at mga damit namin ako ang bumibili... Fair enough? hahaha
