So I've been with my fiance since 2014. We don't have children we both are kinda like children ourselves and we don't want any. Our money basically goes to bills and fun. He makes around $35 an hour while I went to college and got a bachelor's degree and only make $15 an hour. I've struggled to even get this much because I was making $11 and $12 an hour. I do medical billing and he's an aircraft mechanic. He's always been kinda cheap unless it's something he REALLY wants. We have a two bedroom apartment that I pay half and clean and do a lot around the place. I also have my own bills like my car and my own phone bill and the car insurance... so with everything going up now days it's hard for me to keep a savings in case of emergency. My fiance will buy groceries and I slide money his way for random stuff sometimes but the thing is he has a million hobbies. Race cars, expensive computers/video games, musical instruments, and so on. Whatever he wants he gets. He spends money at the drop of a hat then complains about his money and all this stuff being expensive. I can't buy anything fun, I've tried saving up for a new cell phone for like a year but end up having to spend it on an emergency. I like my job now but it's still not good enough and I don't know what else to do. I was excited to be making $15 an hour finally but now I'm feeling defeated. He wants me to make more while he does what he wants and rarely helps me with anything... but I'm still expected to pay half plus clean the place cause he rarely does any of that and pay my own personal bills... how do you guys handle this situation? I've looked for higher paying jobs for years but I don't have the required experience to make more. I don't get it.
My fiance says I need to be making more money?
