One of the things, now that you are processing your own emotions, more effectively, is to sit down with the needs based check-list, as your couples counselor, may be able to provide, and start long-term planning.
Now, that she has this pile of cash, doesn't sound like she's being financially responsible. Granted, the loss of a parent, presents difficult times, yet, there comes a point, where responsibility supersedes fiscal irresponsibility.
It may be, inheritance, passed down, from her side of the table, yet, setting a budget, is something to consider. Most court systems, may view this as a marital asset, not an individual asset. Not sure, just know that in my own divorce contract, it states, that inheritance, received post-divorce is individual, I presume, it's an implied marital asset, whilst married.
New car, no job, sounds fiscally irresponsible. And though she wants to move out, to your own separate place, if it wasn't part of the marital planning, fiscally speaking, without inheritance, why would it be now? Those sums, don't last forever, usually!
Are you, addressing some of these resentments in individual therapy, to better articulate in joint therapy? And is she also, in individual counseling?

Yes I'm talking with my therapist about this and my partner is also seeing a therapist on her own. And that is the thing, moving out was on the agenda (at least hers, mine too but not right this second) but not until we could afford it and everything that comes with it. And my therapist has already presented me with the task of making "my list" my needs and deal breakers. My only problem is really that as I do this I realize just how bad off this relationship is at the moment... I realize I have changed recently I have chalked it up to new meds and turning 30 but I'm realizing that I'm "growing up" something I should've done years ago, and I never thought in a million years that me making good changes would affect our relationship in a negative way. I just don't have the patience for BS that I used to from anybody, not just her. I don't want to lose her but I can't decipher between usual relationship argueing and when enough is enough and really I don't want to put up with any of it right now!
