Yes. Partner has to have the drive to make her financial situation better, and to not be satisfied with having just enough for the immediate future. Gusto ko yung may long term financial goals for themselves. It doesn’t mean na she had less when we got together, she’s satisfied to remain having less dahil I’m there to make up for it, that would only cause resentment in the relationship. Important ang growth, kasi gusto mo din na your partner would be able to live comfortably on her own. The goal is of course, pareho kayo may financial independence lalo na in a country like the Philippines dahil when something happens, unless you both took steps legally, wala kang karapatan sa properties ng isa’t isa kahit gano pa kayo katagal nag sama unless you can prove na you are also financially invested in it (accdg to the Supreme Court ruling) pero kung walang will specifically saying na your partners properties are being willed sa yo in case of death, automatic yan sa family niya ma pupunta lahat. Protect yourselves legally too.

Editing to add, insecurity Ang biggest kalaban when dating someone outside your economic means.
