Just my 2 cents
+1. I don't know this gal, but if you are fighting this much about money and she's not willing to give up "luxuries" for a little financial peace (much less wanting to buy MORE) it's probably not worth your time or patience.
Granted I don't know this gal so I can't give you relationship advice. I know that my wife and I do what we must to get by. We have cut out cable, home phone, and are frugal with electricity. We get internet from across the street and we watch Netflix with it for $8 a month. We are not poor but we are not rich. we understand the value of a hard-earned dollar. She's a teacher and I'm a musician. We don't make nearly as much as we should but we make enough to get by.
Cut out your luxuries and deal with the necessities. If she cannot accept that, then perhaps you might want to walk.
