Working Part time and More

So, my girlfriend was laid off. This has impacted our lives significantly. Thankfully I had just started working part time remotely at the tail of December and am bringing in something,  but now I am going to be trying to work more hours. Also, we have enough savings to pay through the end of the Lease for our Apartment even if somehow she couldn't find another job in that time, which I fully believe that she will. She is smart, has a good amount of experience and a great degree. I have faith in her. 

She is getting some unemployment, but it is for a 5th of what she was earning, so that is too bad. We will get through it, though. I am certain. The biggest problems thus far have actually been the blow to her confidence, having to set aside my hobbies, and that we might blow all our savings, which I am super hoping we won't.

Also, I have been trying to explain to her we need to lower our bills, and she seems to not agree with that. But we could save more of our savings by spending less of it each month. She doesn't want to stop living our lives. 

I don't know what to do or say to help her feel more like I do. Like, yesterday she went out with friends for lunch, and then afterwards went to a pie shop and bought more than one slice of pie to bring home for 8 bucks each slice. 

On the one hand, pie is super yummy. But on the other hand, it was such a frivolous purchase. I don't want to make her feel more down, so I didn't say anything and haven't been pushing, but it does concern me.

We will see how it goes.
