How much is your household allowance for a month if only one breadwinner in the family? How much do you spend on children and how old are they? How much is s/he bringing back monthly? Appreciate not providing answers like "depending the lifestyle wanted".

Hubby takes back abt $2000 after cpf deduction. I'm not given any allowance. If i need to buy groceries/household things or children's stuff, i will get it from him if i dun hv enough. Juz depending on hubby's allowance is really difficult to sustain.. Tatz y i'm oso wrking. I dun earn much. Juz earning extra so tat i can help to provide for e family. Diapers/wet wipes/milk powder alone cost around $120 per mth. LO now is 9mths old. There is no exact how much i spend on LO. We dun keep buying toys/clothes. So mainly is juz $120 for his necessities. But LO has been seeing doc since January.. His medical bills sums up to a total of almost $2k already.. We r at our wits end.. Hoping tat LO can faster recover..
