I'm not a SAHM. I earn $1500 per mth, my husband earn $2500. As me and my husband we both will mange to pay different like: he pay for the house loan, electric bill and children school fee, I will pay for house groceries. After we manage this way, I never get pocket money from him. Yes, Me and my husband still give our parents. Because this is a must, is depend on your finance. I give $250 every mouth.

Our monthly expenses are about $2.5k to $3k. I am in charge of the finance in the house so no pocket money is needed. Of course we can't spent just as we like since we do not have extra income from my side. I do give my parents allowance occasionally when I feel i have extra for that month. It's not a fixed amount it fixed schedule.

Spend and use what you have. If you want to say how much a whole family expense is, it depends on what your family expenses are. No one can say how much we need. Money is never sufficient money but if you learn to be contented with what you have. Everything will turn out fine.
