As Soon As His Girlfriend Found Out That He Has Money, She Began Expecting More, And She Currently Wants Him To Buy A Far More Expensive House Than He Can Afford
This 27-year-old guy has been dating his 26-year-old girlfriend for 3 years, and he just purchased an engagement ring for her too.
His girlfriend is his entire world, and she’s an amazing person. But, there is one catch; his girlfriend really has no concept of reality when it comes to what he can provide her with financially.
He makes around $115,000 each year, and he’s in sales. He also has a lot of money saved away, and he is set to receive an inheritance sometime soon.
His girlfriend is a teacher and makes about $58,000, and she has practically no money saved up.
“When we started dating, I had a lot less money, and we didn’t live lavishly,” he explained. “Over time, I made more, and my GF also found out I had money. Naturally, her expectations went up.”
“So here’s the current situation. We live together in a cheap basement suite. Real estate has been exploding in our area.”
“We do have other nice things…trip to Europe coming up, etc.; my GF doesn’t necessarily understand what all of this costs.”
Back to the home he’s planning on buying; he is going to be the one getting the mortgage, and because his girlfriend has no money for a down payment, he wants to have her pay rent until they do get married.
He has come across a home he likes that’s $460,000, and it’s in a wonderful area. It is about 20 or so years old, so it’s a bit dated but not a lot dated.

He sent the listing over to his girlfriend, and she remarked that she would only live in it if they renovated the whole place.
She just came across as completely entitled, and he had a big problem with that.
“This is just one example, but I truly find her expectations to be out of whack,” he said. “Especially since she has 0 to contribute to a down payment right now.”
“I do have to consider her needs, and she has to like the home we live in. I think she’s expecting that my income will continue to grow and being starry-eyed about the lifestyle it can afford her.”
“I don’t even want to look at houses because she won’t like anything. Is there any way to sort out these conflicts better?”
