AITA for threatening to break up with my girlfriend for spending $1600 on a video game

I (24M) am considering breaking up with my (21F) girlfriend.

This is because she spends a ridiculous amount of money on a video game.

We met in University when she was a freshman and I was a senior.

We’ve been together since, and we’ve recently moved into an apartment.

This man has a stable job that pays just enough.

We live in a pretty big town, and I’m currently starting a new job in a corporate environment.

I’m making more than minimum wage, and we aren’t living paycheck to paycheck.

However, I don’t have anything to put in savings, on certain months.

That’s when there is an extra expense like birthdays, car issues, etc.

His girlfriend works part-time.

She, on the other hand, works a part time job, so I am the main source of income.

I don’t mind this, as she is still in university.

She spent $1600 on a game.

However, it is a problem when she spends $1600 on a freaking video game.

In the past, whenever she spent money on the game, it would not be more than $300, and that money would come from her tips.

However, this time it was an overstep.

He thinks she’s being inconsiderate.

I know that it’s her money, but I feel like a lot of the time, I end up paying for dinner and groceries, and sometimes, I pay more than half of the rent.

I just want her to be more considerate with her spending because I would like to build a future with her.

What game costs that much? He needs to talk to her about this.
