I saw some guys here get called tight for not giving enough monthly support to a fiancee. I still don't know what is too much to offer and whats being tight. I'll lean towards being tight in future
better to be tight than broke ... get to learn to know the girl first before you help, you are a kind man but you also have to be wise! it would be different if you were married to her and you decided to help out, but bf/gf relationship i dont think you really are expected to help out financially.. how are things with you now?
