We did it pretty much the same way. NO credit cards allowed! I didn't use a set ammount but sounds like a good idea. He did use the ATM and I did set up a joint bank account that he and I could both access online. We were both active in the account. I did the deposits and he did the withdrawals. I think the biggest surprise me was the meal expenses. Seems as if the baseball players never ate at the fast food joints or the cafeteria but preferred the steakhouses and other more expensive restaurants. I knew I had messed up and was too liberal with the expenses when he came back and declared his favorite food was sushi.
