ANSWER:

You are not obliged to spend on yourself, let alone your husband!

It is his responsibility to look after you and not vice versa. With wives like you, he wouldn’t have to work as long as he has “sugar mommy”!

I am a woman in polygamy the last wife of 3 wives. I recently got married and didn’t know my husband is struggling financially. I’m responsible for my upkeep 100% and do give my husband money from time to time. I have some savings and willing to forfeit them for him to pursue a new career which in sha Allah will benefit us all. However, I’m scared of what the future would be.
