How much is your allowance from hubby?

[yukishih]

Ako, I dont have allowance din. Combined income kami. Sahod ko lahat sa utilities, bills, tuition fees, and rent ng house. Walang natitira sa akin kasi lahat palabas. Yung kanya daw ilalagay nya sa savings namin so parang hati na din kami. Lately, nagkagulo kami kasi. I am aware na may binibigay sya sa nanay every month about $600 no complains kasi may sakit. Kaso lalong nagkagulo dahil pinadlhan nya ng pera kapatid nya ng wala akong alam. Nalaman ko after ilan days dahil tinanong ko. Naisip ko ayoko ng combined income. Kasi parang buong angkan nya humihingi na sa amin.

^That will breed resentment talaga sis, good luck & sana mag kaayos kayo. Pag dating sa pera dapat walang emotion eh, logic nalang para walang hurt feelings. Hinde naman madadaya ang math, unless mag secret bank account ka sis or i recompute nyo yung expenses. Again, no emotions & logical lang kasi hinde nag mmake sense na ikaw at the end of the day 0 savings dahil may leak....

We have the same money arrangements as Solenn and Nico (pero di kami kasing yaman nila ha? lol).

Kahit mag asawa na kami, I didn't like the idea na iintrega nya sakin yung sweldo nya tapos hihingi lang sya ng allowance. Traditionally, ganito satin diba? si misis in charge sa pagbubudget kaya si mister, ibibigay sa kanya yung sweldo. Wala namang masama dun, if it works for you. Iba-iba naman ang financial situation ng bawat pamilysa.
Sa bahay namin, kanya-kanya kami ng sweldo at tokang bayaran:
hubby - house mortgage, cc bills
me - groceries, food, utilities, monthly assoc dues, internet/cable
Kanya-kanya din kami ng bayad sa insurances namin. But I do the saving for us (emergency fund, house maintenance fund, etc.). Yung allowance, bahala kami magbudget. Pero minsan pag may kailangang bayaran unexpectedly, we inform each other tas kumukuha sa savings pool/envelope. Wala pa kaming joint account, pero we still maintain each one's savings account (nung single pa kami). Pero kahit separate ang expenses, we still let each other know kung magkano yung nagagastos monthly. May monthly financial report kumbaga. Hahaha.

It works for us, so we don't feel the need to change this set-up. Pero pag may baby na siguro (in God's time), baka then, we'll look for another budget strategy.

^I have nothing against that setup kasi nagwowork naman siya sa iba pero honestly kung sa akin di ako kumportable sa ganyan. Hindi ko feel na mag-asawa or partner kami if separate ang gastos namin, parang housemates lang kami. Mas gusto ko na i-pool ang salary namin and from there ibabawas ang para sa savings, expenses sa bahay and allowance etc.

[thatkdramaeonni]

^we agreed on this set-up kasi, for me naman, ayoko nung idea ng "nanghihingi ng allowance". Naririnig ko kasi minsan sa ibang friends ko na married din, feeling daw nila "tinitipid" sila/hindi nila naeenjoy yung sweldo nila. Term nila yun ha. So ayoko naman mafeel nung asawa ko na dadaan lang sa kamay nya yung sweldo nya, so he manages his money.  We do groceries/buy stuff together naman, pero I also encourage him to buy stuff para sa sarili nya.

Pero as the saying goes, to each his own.

[mysterioza_me]

^I agree to each his own. Kung ano nagwowork sa atin yun ang ifollow.

[thatkdramaeonni]

^Yup, true sis. Whatever works. Ang mahalaga, hindi dahil sa pera yung pag aawayan ng mag-asawa.

We pool our salary together then we less our savings and all expenses/mortgage/payables for the month. Kung ano yung matitira dun, yun yung allowance namin. Hubby's income is 3x more than mine.
Kaya ang set-up namin sa natitirang allowance, 60% sa kanya, 40% sakin. This works for us kasi yung luho namin, kinukuha namin sa kanya-kanyang allowance.

[Maia_Cache]

Most of our expenses si hubby ang nagbabayad, i make sure na walang natitira sa sweldo niya para no time to cheat or do vices. then i pay for other bills na hindi na niya macover, plus i do the savings and investment and also financier ng mga business ventures namin. alam naman niya lahat ng PW and investments namin. this works for us kahit na minsan na angal siya na wala siya pera, kasi wala naman talaga natitira sa kanya, thats why i do the shopping for him and all other recreational activities/travel ako nasagot. kapag naman may bonus siya halos half binibigay niya sakin as a gift. hindi naman ako masyado gastador may addict ako sa pagbili ng investment rather than material things. thankful lang ako na sobrang sipag ng hubby ko, thats why we can save/invest atleast 90% of my salary

[hushush]

Lately ko lang nakita ang budget excel file ng husband ko at nakalagay dun na may 10k allowance pala ako monthly on top sa lahat ng monthly at future expenses namin... How sweet! 😃.. Pero kung kelan naman nagpapaka-goodgirl na ako.. So sa savings talaga mapupunta yun..at least until dec buwuhaha! 😆

[cupcakejane]

I don't have allowance.  We just agree on sharing the expenses at home.  Since we both have our own thing, hati nalang.

[lady_butterfly]

I dont have allowance from my partner kasi parehas naman kaming may work. Since mas malaki sahod ko sa kanya ako nagbabayad lahat as in lahat. Nagbibigay lang sya para sa baby namin and kapag kulang ako na magpupuno.

Sa laguna nakatira si hubby dahil sa work nya, ako naman sa manila. Umuuwi lang sya kapag restday nya 

[kolinetongue]

Kanya kanya kami ng allowance and savings from our salaries. Expenses sa bahay at sa kids ay galing lahat sa business income.

[bee_bolivar27]

no allowance from hubby. we both work pero we put a portion of our salary in a shared account to use for any shared expenses (rent, utilities, CC bills etc).

we also put a portion for savings pero majority ng salary namin kanya kanya. ayoko ipool kasi nag sustento ako sa nanay ko. mahirap na pagsimulan ng away.

plus hubby would never agree on that allowance thing haha

[twelvth_goddess]

Walang allowance now pero halos lahat naman ng pabili ko binibili  nya haha

[FayeP]

wala ako allowance, wala kasi siya work, siya ang sa bahay...siya ang may allowance sakin...

[hushush]

"Wala" akong allowance but i can dine out anytime i wanted but most of the times sa bahay lang ako at kung ano ano ang kinakain (kaya tumaba) .pede ding manuod ng sine pag nasa school mga bata but i choose to watch movies from youtube or dowload from torrents. Then mga luho ko naman, binawasan ko na. "Gradweyt" na talaga ako sa nga branded bags matagal na. I tested myseld kung mapepersuade akong bumili ng another bag pero parang nakuntento na talaga ako sa mga nabili ko nuon at wala nang appeal sakin ang mga ganun bagay.. 👍jewelries na lang talaga ang di pa ako nagsasawa.. para sakin "jewelry is life" hehe. When it comes to shoes and clothes hindi din na ako nagbibibili kahit nagtatravel kami abroad. Kasi mahirap iimpake 😂..
then ceramics at iba lang gamit sa bahay di na din ako umoorder sa IG since last year pa dahil marami na din naman ako nabili.. im focusing now on my savings dahil malapit na naman ang enrollment at..bayaran ng car insurance..blah blah blah..
Wala kasi akong barkada na momshies at ayoko talagang makipagbarkada para tipid at iwas conflicf at stress.. Minsan nagkayayaan pero once a month lang.. Madalang sa patak ng ulan ngayong summer..Mas nagpofocus lang talaga ako sa mga bata, sa studies, trainings nila at competitions...blah blah blah😁

[NikkaDiane1234]

sakin atleast 20k per month.. pero kulang pa din kasi puro sa mga bata lang napupunta

[maricar14]

None. Ilan beses na nag change financial set up namin.

- I have his ATM and pay for everything. He gets the allowance. May period na may work ako and wala nung time na to.

- We both have jobs and had our own ATMs. We just assigned expenses to each other and the rest are our own money to spend. It was nice for a while because my husband is very generous - he would shop for me and the kids. But I didn't like the feeling na when i pay for something na usually assigned sa kanya and he would pay me to the exact amount. Parang nakaka off pakiramdam because we are supposed to be married and one and all but parang I felt off when he would pay me. Another downside was his credit card debt went so big - nakakalokah.

- now we still hold on to our ATMs but we budget together every payday. He transfers everything in the agreed budget that he will cover from his salary to one of his savings account but I have the ATM. He only leaves his allowance (food, gas, toll, etc), fun money (different from allowance - no questions asked purchases), and whatever else he will pay from his account. I then handle the rest of our budget, savings, investment, and debt payment. I don't have a specific fun money - aside from work related allowance - that I assign to myself because when we budget, I already assign amounts to different categories so funded na like hygiene products, make-up, dining out, etc. I usually have leftover from work allowance so I use that if I buy anything unexpected.

[imeego]

he gives me 50k every month pambili ko daw ng gusto ko  pero di ko ginagastos..kung meron man akong binibili mostly jewelry lang..sometimes bibili ako ng bag but sya pa din nagbabayad so nasi-save ko  allowance ko
