My girlfriend moved in with me at the end of last year.   I live in a studio apartment.  We live in the city and the price of this place is amazing.  

We were both working when she moved in and my lease is coming to an end.  She hates how small this place is and we’ve discussed moving into a bigger apartment.  I wasn’t opposed to the idea even though I love how cheap this place is.  

In February she lost her job.  She’s been looking for something new, but hasn’t had any luck so far.  She still wants to move.  I’m a lot more hesitant now that I’m the only one working.  Who knows how long it will take her to find new work?  I’d like to stay out for another year and once she gets another job we could actually afford to be able to put money aside so that in a year would could get a really nice place.  

She’s completely against it and just keeps assuring me that she’ll be back to work soon and I won’t have to float us for long.  She makes it sound like me solely paying for everything isn’t a big deal, but I really don’t make a lot.  We would be stretching every penny if we could even make it work at all.
