If he wants nicer apartment, he needs to make more money.

I’d not wait till next time. I’d not necessarily tell him about it in exact term “sugar mamma”-though it’s tempting, but I’d tell him that if you will make that much, you’ll be putting it aside for XYZ needs.

Do you intend to make over 100k? Good for you. If you make that much or even close to that you can put big chunk away for retirement. Not waste on rentals. He isn’t practical

Well it’s ok if people make less if their career isn’t lucrative. My nephew makes 120k straight out of college at 23 and I will never make 120 simply because my career doesn’t pay that. My salary hits a ceiling. So I guess if one person makes more it’s ok, but it gets tricky when the one with much lesser salary expects things given to them.

I think it’s time to discuss budget, retirement and savings and all that jazz. Not exciting talk but it needs to be done. I hate money talk, it’s anxiety producing but it feels much better when it’s all discussed and plans are made. It could be done.
