I appreciate the input. Maduro it is.
BTW, I should have used another word like budget or something. "I" allow myself an approximate budget allowance every month, give or take a $100. It's flexible.
There are funds every quarter set aside for household extras ($500-1000) that my wife has the discretion of spending on household extras. A for instance would be if she wanted a new fridge or something. If she doesn't use it I buy cigars with it. To make a long story short, she's getting some inheritance money & told me she didn't need the money from this quarter.
Presto! Hat gets extra cigars! Merry Christmas to me!
