my girlfriend spends money to much?

I wonder asked:


My girlfriend is a trust fund child. Her father is worth in the huindred millions but I am a poor police men with not much money. I pulled her over fopr speeding in her BMW and thats how we met.

Her father aproves of me but only because I will be running for sherrif soon. Preblem is my girlfriend likes to spend for example 5 thousand dollars on cloths yesterday at the mall. For my birthday she bought me a new Lincoln pick up truck. Im not complaining but I feel bad when I can only afford to buy her some cheap neklace for christmas.

I feel insulted when everytime we go out its at 5 star resturaunt and she always insists that she pay for everything as she is well aware of my finances. waht do I do? I love her to death and we get along great but I am secretly insulted by her lack of smarts when it comes to money. Her father feels she spends to much to and has comented on it several times.

    talk to her and tell her you feel insulted and that you wish she would stop or at least slow down on the spending.

    You guys are just dating; her money is her money. She’s rich and your not and she’s ok with that. Most guys complain that all a girl wants is money, now you have one with money and your complaining that she spends to much of it…wow! That’s what rich people do they spend and spend and spend. If I was rich I would do the same thing..stop complaining and enjoy the gifts…it’s not like she expects expensive gifts in return…you said she understands your finances….

    I don’t think you can change her because she has the money and is used to that way of life.
    I do understand how you feel, however.
    It is hard, especially for a man I assume, to date a much wealthier women.
    Maybe become an enterpreunor and try and make big money that way.
    The dad must have good connections.
    Good luck and be glad she doesn’t see you for money, but as a person.

    I think you just feel uncomfortable because she is rich, and traditionally the guy is the one supposed to support the woman although obviously she doesn’t need you to do that.

    Oh well, just enjoy it!

    Someone has a sugerrrr mommmma.

    ..Seriously, you two are adults, you should be able to sit down and have an adult conversation about this. You need to explain to her (as gently as possible…) that she can’t continue to spend money like this. She has to learn the value of a dollar (I feel old), and stop living off of her trust fund.

    you should take the moral high ground. encourage her to donate to charitable causes. maybe she can improve herself like go back to school. you could also show a bit more ambition than just sherrif. sherrif is a good start but go ack and get an MBA then you can go from that position to mayor to senator and climb the political ladder. then you too will have money. As for gifts… you cant buy her anything she will actually appreciate. gifts of your time and love are way better. Massages, cooked meals, teach her stuff( golf, fishing, shooting), horse back riding. good luck
