My post to Mikala wasn't really directed at you, you have a job and are with her already.....
You're GF sounds like she's a social ladder climber, I could be wrong, but I'm probably not.......
You have a job, you're paying your bills, that's all that really matters, at least to me, and that's how I've always viewed the women that I've been with, just be self sufficient.
I've always made way way more money that any woman I've been with so for me, as long as she could pay her own way, I was happy, never mattered what the actual figure was, in you're case it's 30k and hers is 50k.... which is fine, both of those are living wages.... not sure what the issue is.
EXACTLY! That's exactly what I told her! I couldn't have said it better myself, thanks!
Maybe it's not just the money. Maybe it's also your seeming lack of ( desire) motivation to do anymore than what you have been. While you may content to keep the status quo she may want to do more with her life than live from pay check to pay check and pay the bills on time. I don't see anything wrong with what either of you feel, but I can see where it could lead to issues.
Doesn't sound like she actually said something about YOUR income and you just put two and two together. Are you assuming that she equates you.... with the guy working at MickyD's?
There's more to money than just buying "things". There's saving for the future and building a nest egg for later in life.
Future home ownership, kids, college tuition...
Maybe she went through bad financial times with her ex and she doesn't want to re-visit that.
Anyway it doesn't look like it will end well as you both seem to want different things.

She sounds a bit snobbish.
There is nothing wrong with working at a fast food restaurant. So, if whoever she was with lost their job and could find nothing else except a fast food place or minimum wage job, she would dump them?
So much for "true love". Why waste your time with her? She has already made it clear that her love is only going to run so deep....with anyone.
I just don't understand how someone can be so judgmental when they are not perfect themselves.
I don't know, what do you guys think?
What is wrong with being judgmental? Everyone is judgmental. No one is perfect. Saying that you don't understand how someone can be so judgmental when they are not perfect themselves makes no sense.
It doesn't care about love. It has no remorse. It is powerful.
Hypergamy. Ending relationships since the dawn of time.
shots!!!!

Well in her defense, her husband didn't work, and i get that she doesn't want to go through that again, but like i told her, you are trying so hard that its off putting. I have a job, have always held a job, and you make me feel bad for not making as much as you. She said sorry, but Idk. I mean yeah her ex had a job and he couldn't keep it, but I kinda wonder if the reason that they didn't have problems was because she was always nagging him about it.
Is she nagging and complaining because you make less than her or did she just say she wouldn't date anyone who worked at mcdonalds. And did she say had ever worked there or works there.
Gold digging, being with someone only for the money they earn/have and wanting a relationship with someone who financially compatible are not the same things.
