so. my boyfriend and i have been on and off for about a year and there wasnt one moment he wasnt complaing about having money problmes. I always dealt with it because i didnt care, paid for myself and somtimes hime and let it be because i mean , this is the 21st century!
but this summer he has been working over time (65 hours) at a job he makes 12$ an hour. And he is getting a larger scholarship for his grades at school (10,000$ more) he is living with a roommate that said his roommate would pay 800 if he could pay 400$ a month. All this summer when we go out my boyfriends brother will tag along with his friends, and everytime his brother picks up the bill for my bf and him. and sometimes me as well. He never pays me back for gas when he uses my car and flips out if he has to drive to my place to see me using his gas.
What the hell is his deal. What do i do? The love is def. there. Our relationship is great its just if we get any more serious money is going to be a big deal.....

That is a pretty intresting situation. The one thing that bugs me is that if he is in fact working 65 hours a week at 12$ an hour that is just under four grand a month. You deduct rent and even a guestimation of other random monthly bills and he still has a little over two grand left. So I am not sure what he is worrying about.
Is it that with the type of money he is making is still isn't enough? I mean, I drive all week in a chevy tahoe, I go out to eat with my GF maybe 4 times out of the week and I don't spend more than 200 bucks out of those seven days.
it sounds like he is hoarding money to the point he doesn't want to fork out any money even when it is mandatory that he has to.
Is it that he is afraid he is just going to waste money or something? If that is the case perhaps he should give himself a reasonable budget. I know a lot of people that don't want to try that but belive you me it's a blessing. If he can just figure a month by month income he can easily plan out what he can spend a week. It sounds like he makes enough to get buy pretty easily.
Sit down and talk to him about it. ask him why he gets so worked up over money. Money is an evil but neccesary thing in this world and you shouldn't let it consume you.

My question would be if he's like this dating what's the relationship going to be like if you get engaged or married? I would find someone else if I were you because he's not going to change. Men don't.
