Go to the library and check out this book I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi. You might laugh but I buy the gear I want about 50% of the time because part of my budget is dedicated to spending money on gear! I NEVER buy gear that I do not want just to scratch an itch. My spending is laser focused, my bills are paid on time and my credit score is better than my guitar playing. And we just bought a house so that I will have more room to play music. Learn how to manage your money and be the grown-up that your girlfriend wants to you to be. Spend money on your passion and be ruthless when it comes to cutting spending elsewhere. For example I never go to McDonalds or coffee shops anymore because each trip is about 10% of the cost of a new guitar pedal I can no longer buyI I don't have a streaming service because that's money and time spent watching TV rather than playing music. Go to the library! It's FREE! Marry that girl before you buy a house together. Do you really want to be 'financially committed' to the relationship before you are 'committed' to the relationship?
