Here's the scoop. The last 5 or 6 months we have decided to give ourselves $350 each per month of "fun money". This money is for non neccessities and can be used however we see fit with no questions asked.

My wife thinks that $350 is not enough and that it is not fair that we get the same amount since the things I enjoy are low cost and the things she enjoys(going out to eat with friends) are not.

I think that the amount is plenty and would like to cut it back since I use only about 10-15$ of my total per month. She says that she cant cut back because her friends always like to eat out. I told her that she could pack a meal to take to the resturant and she just gave me a weird look.

We dont make alot of money(about 70K combined) but we can afford the $350 while still saving about 30% of our salary. I'm just really weird about money and I hate to see any wasted because you never know when youll need it(we've had a couple of misfortunes in the past). Due to these misfortunes we havent saved as well as we should have in the past, but weve really kicked it up a notch just these past few years. We are on pace with retirement savings but I would like to get further ahead. And we have little debt(just 40K on the house).

Thanks in advance
