SO allowance poll

Points taken. I wasn't actually including "working girls". I think if a guy hooks up with one it is buyer aware in terms of peso support. I can't speak from experience but people tell me some of the girls are d*mn good at milking the cash cow.

 

My wife has no 'allowance' per se. She's got a peso account and a dollar account with enough money to live for maybe 3 or 4 years in 'em. She's very good at budgeting money, so I don't worry about it too much.

She sends 'help' to her family as the situation arises. We might have sent 12-16k pesos this past year to her parents at various times.

She refuses help to all other members of her family, so far, but I've told her I have no problem helping the smarter ones with university costs.

Not particularly.

 

Okay, I'll play.

1 - How many pisos do you give your SO a month for other than household expenses?

4,000 - split between 4 weeks.

2 - How often do you give your SO that amount?

Wtf? Didn't I already answer this question in #1? This question makes no sense following the previous question.

3 - How many others (kids, relatives, the milkman, etc.) get a cut of the allowance?

I give her 4K but I couldn't give a single f*uck what she spends it on as long as she doesn't ask for more.

4 - Does your SO live with you full time?

I live in a secret bat cave. Nobody knows where I live. Which is how I like it. This is partly why I give her 4K, because I'm not paying for anything else and I don't feed her.

5 - Does your SO provide any financial support to the household expenses?

This question makes no sense either. I'm giving her money. She isn't giving me money.

6 - How long have you been together?

Close to two years with a six month interlude.

7 - Are you happy with this arrangement?

Life sucks.

As Dennis Leary said "Happiness comes in small doses folks. It's a cigarette butt, or a chocolate chip cookie or a five second orgasm. You come, you smoke the butt you eat the cookie you go to sleep wake up and go back to f*cking work the next morning, THAT'S IT! End of f*cking list!"

So, no, most of the time I'm not happy about anything. Let alone handing out hard earned cash to maintain a headache.
