She just got out of school.
Don't bail her out and let her learn the hard way.

While I'm sure she will grow up and change a lot over the next 5 or so years, if this is a big issue for you she may not be the one. There are many women out there who have their shite together.
Have you tried talking to her about it? My husband is older than I am, and I know it sounds ridiculous, but watching him save when we first started dating gave me the motivation to not spend as frivolously as I once did.

If you love her none of this matters. I'm sure she will make wise decisions for your kids one day.

I might argue with my wife over politics or college football (she's a fan of a different team, not arguing over my fanaticism).
One thing I don't argue about with her is money. She is just as cheap as me. I can't imagine being married to someone who I don't see eye to eye with financially.

Not a big deal.

Most women are stud as shite when it comes to finances and the ones who aren't are usually the Hitler lunatic types.

That's not credit card debt. That's called having a credit card.

That's a cheap apt.
I think you are kind of ignorant about finances actually. Also, her money so don't tell another person she can't go on a week vacation a-hole.

Dude, none of that is really that bad, sounds like a typical girl. And $650 rent making $33k is not outrageous at all. Where the hell do you want her to live for less than $650/mo that's not in the ghetto?
When I first started dating my gf she was TERRIBLE with money and had way more debt than this chick you speak of. Since she's been with me she's pretty much knocked it out and is much more financially responsible. Some people just need to be taught how to manage money. This isn't something to ditch a girl you "love" over.

Paying 650/month on rent is absurd on a 33k salary.
Are you living in the year 2014 OP? $650/month is not expensive for a decent 1br apt. Would you rather her live in a crack den for $400/month? I'm pretty sure crack dens cost more than that though too.
And OMG $500 credit card debt? Are you serious? That's nothing. Does she pay it off or is she just making minimum payments? Quite honestly, she sounds like a 24 yr old right out of college. Probably not making the best financial decisions, but it's hardly cause for concern IMO.
Obviously bothers you though, so cut her loose. You'll be doing her a huge favor.

$650/mo for rent isn't bad for someone making $33k.

You sound like her dad...seriously.
Sure, it is ok to be worried about her financial well-being, and even fine to sit down and have a chat about it. In the long run, however, it is her money. Give her your two cents and see your way out of her finances after 8 months of dating. If you actually get serious, which you shouldn't until you are much closer to 30, THEN you can worry about her debt.
Until then, a little PSA of financial knowledge is all she needs. Hell, she's doing better than I was at 24 and I was still VERY financially responsible back then...at least in terms of paying bills on time.
Oh and she does sound a bit scatter brained, but not many 24 year olds have a clue about benefits or what they mean. Hell, I work with 30+ year olds that still don't properly understand health insurance benefits.

Yeah.....not sure why he feels that it is outrageous for her.
Only way to get cheaper is with a roommate or by slumming it.

I think, given her salary and debt, that the responsible thing to do would get a roommate and save money on rent to pay off debts and not live pay check to paycheck, saving $0 on the way.
Why does she need to be financially responsible? That's YOUR job. YOU are her bankroll now and for as long as you are together.
If she's a good looking 24 year old female, good body, sexually talented and eager to please, then YOU are the bankroll. If that's not what you want, then, she can find another bankroll quickly.

I pay 625 a month on a 40k salary.

Sounds like her irresponsible mom has already ruined her. Run. This won't change. Buying clothes and going on vacation will be more importnt than staying on a budget and having food in the house.

650 on 33k salary? Wtf is wrong with that? That's pretty good actually when you break it down.
