Do you ask for personal money from your husband/partner? I'm a SAHM and he lives abroad even before we had a baby. When I got pregnant, he asked me to stop working but the thing is I hate this kind of feeling that I have to depend on him when it comes to money. I've been very independent before having a baby and now, I feel like I can't buy whatever I want. How do you deal with this?

Yes, it will be tough if asking personal money from husband. For me, I have to cut down all the unnecessary spend, list out my priority items every month. So, I won't be spending those are not in the list. I feel this is a good way as won't over spend. Besides, also working on my online handmade business to earn small income as pocket money. Whenever I have "extra money" in that particular month, I will pamper myself with something that I like.
