- Guys how much "pocket money" are you willing to give to your spouse when you're married?

- Gals how much do you expect to receive?

Just curious Smile

Mr Fugue SG

I believe in equality.

if her pay more than me, she must give me $$$ to offset the difference. I no need give her.

and vice versa. Cool

dragg SG

you cant be serious?

do guys still have the ability to give gals money?

technoboy SG

Depending on how much I earn? Laughing

Mr Fugue SG

hanor, gals earn and keep their own money while still have the cheek to get money from husbands. Laughing

where's gender equality har??

dragg SG

and how much she earns too.

donchoo SG

Yes, i know several male frens of mine who are willing to spend less on themselves just to let his wife "enjoy" life and most importantly feed the family. During his free time they would bring their family out for an outing. Most of them fall under the $3000++ catergory (before cpf cut)

Mr Fugue SG

when their marriage turns sour and divorce, they'll be pounding their hearts. Laughing

best solution is, dun give too much.

give is easy, take back is difficult. Cool

dragg SG

the wives are all housewives?

Mr Fugue SG

the best and most slack position for a woman is........... HOUSEWIFE. Cool

darn, why I'm not born a woman?? Laughing

donchoo SG

no most of them late twenties and are workaholics. Nowadays i feel that the responsibility of taking care of kids have fallen on the shoulders of guys. But of course it would be best if both parties are willing to shoulder this responsibility.

i have some of my colleagues chatting in the office. they insist on the husband paying for things and expenses.

when i heard it i was so glad to be single.

donchoo SG

Personally i feel that expenses like PUB, SP should be shared among a couple. Then maybe once in awhile buy something for ur wife or husband.

Both parties shd adopt a give and take attitude and not be too demanding.

Mr Fugue SG

try telling that to most women.........

sohguanh SG

if both of us work, i dont think there is a need for me to give her $.
of cos, i'll settle the bills & fees and if we still have extra, instead of giving it to her, why not set a certain % of salary and put into a shared account to save for rainy days/kids fund?

I adopt your method. Bills all I pay so no need to give her money anymore. Of cuz grocery expense must still give but extra money for her to spend on her own liking is ZERO !!! Mr. Green

And btw when go out together buy things I pay of cuz but draw money from our joint account to pay hehehehe.

elindra SG

I get ZERO from my SO Laughing

I don't expect him to give me any either since the both of us are working and we take turns to buy the grocery

Bills are shared as well as savings for the future.
