Hi.. any SAHM? wondering how u all can cope financially? Hope u all can answer my qns. 1) How much is the whole family expenses like each mth? 2) How much does ur spouse earns? 3) Got give u pocket money since u not working? 4) Do u still give ur parents allowance? thank u.

I stop working since preg w #1, taking 1 yr break Caz I still need to serve bond for work. Husband does the budgeting, I mix fm & bm all the while. My husband gives me the same budget before and after I stop work. Still give my parents and his parents allowance. He does the budgeting so I only know each month we still have 800-1k left. Every meal is eat out Caz only 2 of us so v hard to cook - kopitiam/foodcourt kind. Maybe once in 2wks something better. 1-2 meals a wk at parents/in laws pace. But I am only SAHM for a yr so maybe not a v accurate picture. My husband earns abt 6+k, housing loan only frm his cpf monies. I give some tuition tho - abt 1k a month. We still pay for my in laws some bills
