Hello House,
I'm trying t o fix a rate for upkeep/pocket allowance for my Madam.
In the face of the recession and the unstable exchange rate she has insisted on a review and steady payment of an upkeep allowance.
Talking about the enemies within abi Lol.
Please from your experience and rate of inflation what do you suggest as the rate for a working woman if at all?
One with two infant kids and a not too demanding hubby.
Looking forward to your many criticism.

Well it depends on how much you earn and how much she herself earn too. Since she is a working class married woman, the allowance shouldn't be much.

In my opinion, I think you should give her money for foodstuffs, money for the upkeep of your infant kids, then she should use her own money to care for herself since she is working.

Thanks for the admonition.

I guess the good answer is one coming from you.
I couldn't do that even if my life depended on it.

Give what you have.

Give a percentage after bills and savings if you want to. Never give what will make you borrow or bankrupt you. She's your wife no more your girlfriend so more focus should be on building your life together. Rather than allowance.

She's working, you don't have to give allowance except that was the agreement you both had before marriage which I find absurd. But what works for me, will not work for you.

I don't see the need for an allowance, even if she's out of job.


She's your wife sir. Give her access to your ATM cards.
