Short answer, yes, you are being selfish.

Long answer.

Happy wife = happy life. I learned this a long time ago.

I give my wife RM1000 per month allowance and also a RM1500 credit limit credit card plus paying for all her food and groceries on top of that. She takes care of her other expenses like skin care products, clothes, shoes etc. but I do splurge on her during her birthdays and also Christmas.

We split costs on our kids. The kid school fees are paid by me and also the home that we live in is under my name and I am paying for the installments. I gave her a car to use to go to work and I pay for the car maintenance and road tax.

But in return, she’s my PA and also my health advisor. I have became more health conscious since I got married and I have her to thank for it as she would make sure that I eat properly and not processed food. She would buy health supplements for me also.

I am happily married for over 12 years and counting.

Normally I would answer RM6k but since this is serious kopitiam, I can only say that TS earns way more than me.

My wife earns RM15k a month.

Like I said. The key to a happy marriage is to give her an allowance. Just a token RM1000 a month is more than enough to make her happy. My wife didn’t asked for an allowance, I just gave it to her.

Most domestic dispute is about finances and by giving her an allowance, you are nipping the problem in the bud.

Usually this sort of thing happens when you subscribe to the mantra “ada wang, ada amoi”. When you flex your wealth to attract girls, you will end up with gold diggers.

Usually it’s best to NOT flex your wealth when choosing a life partner or you will be attracting the wrong crowd. Seen this happening too many times already.
