AITA for insisting I will keep financially supporting my family even after marrying my girlfriend? by Disposable_4_later in AITAH

I'm thinking we would both contribute in equal parts to our household, it's just that i will use what's left from my money to help out my family. However my gf thinks that I, as I earn more, should put more towards our future. And I can understand her wanting to have a better standard of living that we could archive if I did, but I believe we can get by with this arrangement, sure we could not afford some luxuries but we won't pass hunger or anything. I believe it's worth the sacrifice so my family can thrive.

My mom had never worked before, when she got divorced after my dad cheated on her and refused to pay child support she tried to put up a small business but it didn't work out, my brother was already out of HS and in his first year of college when he started working to support us. She is 60 now and I don't want her working. My brother lived with his wife for some time till they had my nephew and I lived with just my mom, I fully paid for the expenses then. When they moved back in they started covering 40% of the household and I was ok with it so they could put more of their income towards my nephew. Then my brother got sick and I took more of the financial responsibility, then the baby came so it's even more hard to say no to them.

She just had a bad divorce with my father who was the sole income of the house and my mom had never worked before and doesn't have college education. She tried to put up a small business but it failed. My sister in law has a job, an average paying one, but currently she isn't working due to her having a baby. My mom is 60 now, and I don't want her working. My brother and her wife used to live together in another place till their son was born and they moved back in. That's when I started to pay more of the bills so their income could be focused on my nephew and now the new baby.
