[quote=Anonymous]Op, how do you know she has no money of her own?
Do you know if she has some mental or physical health problems?
I have made over $40k only once in 27 years per my social security statement.
I have made about $500k during my lifetime, but saved my family ca $700k. I invested some of the money I had earned an it grew rapidly in stock market. I also learned how to trade. It's a skill, not luck.
My partner and I kept out finances separately because we were not married.
I retired at the age of 46 never having had a career or made a lot of money. There are other ways to make it in life besides a career.
I always had it in me to make it financially even on low income. I credit my childhood, prk3-12 education, strong mental and physical health, and work ethic.
My two boys have investment account so that they wouldn't have to choose their partner based on how much money she makes. 
Their mom, that's me, was/is the low income immigrant who is doing fine in life without a career. I'd be speechless if they showed up one day complaining about how little girlfriend made.They know their mom's (or anyone's) worth is not their paycheck. 
I'd be more worried about the persons mental and physical health which have been bigger problems in life than money ever was. Same with work ethic. I can fix the money problem.
If you are so awesome, OP, why not set the girl up with a career.
