What all does the $350 cover? If it is purely entertainment type expenses and blow money, then I believe $350/mo is more than generous. My blow money each month is $250. This has to cover gas for my motorcycle (which I ride on weekends with DBF), eating out, book purchases, getting my nails done, trips to Starbucks, etc. I save for travel seperately
I do believe that if finances are combined, each person should get the same amount of blow money, so her argument that her tastes are more expensive than yours doesn't really fly, IMO.
Maybe suggest she and her friends go for coffee and/or dessert instead of eating full meals? I'm not sure if restaurants would allow her to bring in outside food due to health regulations.
