My gf (21f) wants to go on all these trips to places that cost a lot of money for someone like me (21m) abd I feel weird because it’s not like I have a ton of money.

So my gf keeps mentioning she wants to do all these cool trips with me, like a trip to the Poconos or Montauk Point (Long Island), which I’m okay with because I do like think about doing fun things like that with her eventually. However I think it’s a bit premature given that I’m trying to save every bit of money I can considering I need all I can right now because I’m working less with school back. I only work 2-3 days a week, and I earn enough to help me make it through the week if i need to and maybe save a bit. Over the summer I made good money, and obviously I splurged on our outings, food etc. But, I also have to pay other things, like gas (i drive us everywhere), needs for my dog, buying school supplies, and any extra money for emergencies or errands. Now I saved up a decent amount, and I’m trying to reach my goal of saving up to 5 digits. But I feel like she is disheartened by my unwillingness to travel atm, mostly because she thinks its really not costly. I don’t know exactly how much she has, but I know it can’t be more than what I have, but maybe even slightly more because she works more. (We both make minimum wage btw). I don’t know I just feel like every time she mentions adventurous stuff I get ready to hear another lecture about how “I never want to do anything fun) which is untrue because we’ve had plenty fun dates and outings with the time we’ve been together.

Edit: I feel like I made her sound like a gold digger, I will say she has spoiled me and paid for things for me on many occassions, I think she is expecting to split the trips half and half but even then it’s pricey as hell sometimes even for an air bnb and other expenses.

TL:DR Gf gets upset that I’m not adventurous, I feel like she doesn’t understand that I don’t have the money to do those things yet.
