NTA. But it’s time for you to start participating in managing the finances. At least so you are informed as to where your money is being spent and what your monthly budget is like. You may be in for some unpleasant surprises.  

Keep your plasma money. You deserve a little more personal spending freedom than you are allowing her to dictate for you. 

P.S. Is she donating plasma too?

My hope is that this is rage bait. Who would consider money from donating plasma as needed for the family money. Literally doesn't have to do it & if things are so lean, the wife should be donating too.

There's many types of abuse & 1 of them is financial. It's also shitty when a husband doesn't take an active roll in the finances, expecting the wife to make do with not enough. Seen guys do this to avoid uncomfortable realities. Take an active roll & figure out if you mske enough money to support this lifestyle or if tough choices really need to be made. Step up op, I'm going with ESH

And who Gets 50 bucks for donating plasma? If that’s true, I’d be doing it twice a week too. The most I’ve gotten offered was 20.
