Hello. I (24m) live with my girlfriend of a year (24f) in a shared apartment. We have a great relationship and the only problem for me is my girlfriend's financial situation. I make $8,000 a month and pay the rent, groceries, and utilities. So my girlfriend has $6,000 left over from her $9,000 a month salary. She saves $1,000 each month and spends the rest. <br><br>I am worried because my girlfriend has a $5000 credit card debt. She has been having trouble paying this debt, especially since she has accumulated $3000 in interest. I urged my girlfriend to pay this debt because it is affecting her credit score. I also suggested that we live frugally and cut back on unnecessary spending. However, my girlfriend feels burdened with this lifestyle and wants to continue spending money. <br><br>What should we do?
