This time we did a research on “allowance system for the husband.”
Over the past year, there has been no increase in the “allowance” for married men, indicating potential changes in their lifestyle.
Many people who are married might have a “allowance system for the husband” in their homes.
“An allowance system for husband” is a system in which a couple decides on and manages the money that husband has at his disposal. This is often introduced to manage their household account, and to prevent their budgets from putting a strain caused by personal expenses. This time, we conducted a survey about that allowance system for the husband.
First, we asked those who have an allowance system how much money they allocate for their husband, and found that more than half of them set the price at less than 30,000 yen. Although It might depend on the area they live in and the range of use the allowance, many people seem to manage their household finances carefully.
Also, we did a research on the introduction of an allowance system. The result shows that more than half of them do not have the system, while over 30% of respondents have an allowance system. Under the allowance system, the husband has a fixed amount of money he can use per month. Therefore, flexibility might be lost such as increasing the amount he can spend according to the amount of payment.
Furthermore, we asked those who have an allowance system whether the amount of “allowance” changed within the last year. While more than 80% of the them answered the amount of allowance has not changed, about 10% have decreased the amounts. No respondents increased their allowance within the last year.
The allowance system has the advantage of helping manage household finances, but it also has the disadvantage of lacking flexibility.As a result, opinions on its use are likely to be divided.
