How do stay-at-home moms get their needs met if they have no money of their own?

Dave Ramsey is really popular in our house because he and his wife (who was a SAHM) have used his own advice to great success. (YouTube has a ton of videos of his, sometimes directly about money in relationships)

His wife would get a certain amount of money each month and so would he. This is budgeted for and is essentially "play" money.

He advocates both people sit down, talk about the budget, write it out,each month.

He also talks about the importance of veto power and how his wife always had a say in the finances and how any SAHM should because if not, one party is left out.

Which this sounds how you're feeling now!

I definitely think Dave and Sharon live a life that many here can relate to.

I encourage you to watch some of is videos and once you feel like you're starting to understand it, bring it to your man and see if you two can sit down together as a team and learn! ☺️

Have him "block grant" you a certain amount each month for you to spend (or save) as you wish.

As the stay at home mom, your then one who should have the say in how much money is spent on the household upkeep (cooking, cleaning, etc). Anything extra can be spent on non-essentials. Its not responsible behavior to be buying new speakers when you need more food. You have the right to be angry but venting frustration accomplishes nothing.

Planning the whole budget out for each month together is a smart move as it giving each partner an allowance for the month.

Also, don't fall for any "I'm working, I decided". SAHM is a full time job too and a marriage is a partnership. That means working together.
