I have been raised in a decently well off middle class family, but her family is ridiculously rich. They stay at 5-star $600/night hotels everywhere they go.
I don't know exactly what I am feeling...but I feel a bit of resentment. I don't know how I will fit in if I end up marrying her. She doesn't feel spending $120 on jeans...while I cannot imagine spending more than $35 on levi's. How will we survive marriage? I feel bad even spending $90/night in a hotel. I couldn't even sleep spending so much.
I understand that they are wealthy, so they are spending their money, but I just feel like I am not enough.
She is also very sensitive and trys not to mention money stuff about her family to me cause she knows I get a bit uncomfortable.
What advice can you give me?

Well I think the two of you should talk about it. Relationships fall out because two people don't talk about the issues that make either or both of them uncomfortable. Maybe she has the same feelings too, just in reverse. Of course the best train of thought would be that money matters don't come between the respect and love you have for each other, but reality is reality and you ought to be matured enough to talk it through.
Remember that best relationships come out of good communication and a shared willingness to put your priorities in the right place. Both of you should understand each others' background and how it's affecting your view on money etc. It takes effort but it's worth it!

Don't let yourself intimidated. You'll get used to it in no time, but make sure you always let her know it's her you want and not her parents' money. There will come a time when this will be an issue in your relationship and you have to be prepared to handle it with care. Don't let money ruined what's special between the two of you.
