I totally agree with you Sara!! I’m only talking about women who have given complete access to credit cards and debit cards …and are never questioned once about what they spend their money on, etc. If that isn’t play money what is it?? I just dont think a man who gives his wife this… should ever have to feel like he has to take it away for “budgeting” reasons and then just give her a monthly amount.
I just look at my parents… my mom has credit cards and debit cards and probably knows more about the finances than my dad does. He trusts her more than anyone in the world…she doesn’t ever feel guilty spending “his” money and swiping those cards. At the same time, my dad trusts her because she buys things accordingly and has never gone overboard. She can go out and buy whatever she wants for herself, the house, her kids, etc. Its just been a non-issue at our house.
But obviously women who are not given credit cards and debit cards… they should totally be given money every month for play. It’s only fair when these men say that they will “provide” for them. The wife’s personal expenses are included in the “providing”
