Travel issues and vehicle replacement seem like difficult things to handle with an allowance...these seem to be areas where a little more agreement is needed.
The budget idea is great. I know someone who is shopping all the time for goodies for all her grandchildren. She says she is having fun doing it now, because she won't be able to afford it after she retires. If she enjoys the shopping and her grandkids start to expect it, it might be harder then she thinks to just stop completely. I would rather cut back now and spend within the ER budget before it's too late to make adjustments.
