Hi all, as the title says I’m struggling with money at the money due to being made redundant a missing a few months of income. I have since landed another job but am yet to recoup any loss of earnings. My gf doesn’t live a lavish lifestyle by any means but she doesn’t know how to budget. She works full time as do I, there always comes a time where she asks for money to help pay towards things - while I’m all for helping her where I can, some of these expenses are completely unnecessary (expensive supermarkets vs cheaper alternatives, tattoos, eating out and other luxuries).
I find myself having to go without just to send over the odd £50 to her, it’s starting to make me resentful as I’ve had to sacrifice basics to help her pay for her own expenses.
I’m not sure how to tackle this as I don’t want to seem like I don’t want to help, but when there’s no money in the pot it puts me in an awkward situation!
TL;DR girlfriends spending can be out of our budget and I’m having to pay the difference
