Perhaps get him to put $40 fortnight off the power bill rather than one big hit

I have asked this. He will not. I pay a bit each pay towards the bills and then ask him to pay half the total at the end (which ends up being minimal compared to the initial bill) and he makes such a big deal about well the kids use the power why should he have to fork out...
It's so frustrating that he's so selfish

I don’t have splash money separate I just buy things when I want them. I make sure the bills are paid, and save a lot, if there’s money left over I generally spend it on other people, not myself.

We also eat out a lot, at least 3 times a week, so it goes on that too.

I don’t have a weekly splash budget. I just buy stuff when I want, which might only be once every 3 months. We have plenty of savings.

We have $100 fortnight for play money. Mine goes on clothes, craft, indoor plants. Hubby buys a powerball ticket most weeks, playstation games. He has more of his saved than I do.

We only account for $40 a week each, but rarely spend it. Things like clothes, family entertainment etc. have their own budget though. We're very careful with money because we like savings AND travel. Two incompatible goals! Lol.

$300/week between the both of us
