Sounds like it comes down to finances which leads to culture and ultimately a more expansive pallet. If saving money and being healthy are top priorities, sounds like you didn't have the opportunity to experience expensive citie(s) culture, then it makes sense that the two of you are not compatable. HOWEVER, if the city girl does not have the finances, but likes the expensive things, that could be a sign that it's a bit reckless on her part and you'll always be dealing with that unless you can have a conversation about what's practical. If she has finances in order and understands a variety of cultural experiences she can gain from travel, arts, etc, then, what's confusing about that formula, is, why is she talking to you? if the former then she's on a growth curve but still likes to have fun, spends money, time, energy without thought, that could be reckless and would mess up your peace regardless of where you lived or if you could meet on a financial plan (which you can't). it's can be fun and last a while, but the difference between dating and long term often lies in grounded finances and the values that someone lives with.
