In 3 and 4, I'd include "up" -- to use up something means it's all gone. In this case, you're referring to money. But 1, 2, 3, and 4 are not completely interchangeable.
In 5, yes, the word "up" means completely.
In 6, "up" is just part of that phrasal verb that means they ended their relationship.
1. I've spent all my money already.
2. She spent ¡Ì100 on a new dress.
3. I've used all my money already.
4. She used ¡Ì100 on a new dress.
---------------------
Can we use both 'spent' and 'used' in the sentences?
5. I used up my allowance in two days.
6. I didn't want to break up with her.

Does 'up' mean 'completely' in each sentence?
