I saw a pretty interesting question.,It should be a girl who asked.What does your boyfriend's reluctance to spend money on you mean?
Objectively speaking, similar situations are not uncommon in our lives.
In many circles, you can see a girl complaining that her boyfriend is too picky and reluctant to spend money on herself.
To be honest, different people have different concepts of money, and we can't simply say why their boyfriends are reluctant to spend money.
But, more often than not,There is mostly a reason why men like you but are reluctant to spend money on you
1.He just likes it, not loves it.
First of all, we need to understand that liking and love are two different emotions. When a man just likes you, but not to the point of deep love, he may have some money to reserve. Because in his heart, you may not be the person who has spent his life with him, so he is not willing to pay too much for you. If he doesn't position you as his future wife, then he may value his resources more and be reluctant to spend too much for you without a clear future. 
2.He's a bit picky.
Men's personality traits are also one of the factors that affect whether they are willing to spend money or not.
Some men are naturally more "frugal", they have a strict concept of money, believing that money is not only a material exchange tool, but also the crystallization of time and energy.
Therefore, when they spend money for others, they tend to be thoughtful and avoid unnecessary waste due to impulse.
This is not to say that they don't value feelings, but that they are more cautious and conservative when dealing with money issues.
Even after such a man gets married, he will not be too generous to his wife.
3.He was indeed poor.
Your boyfriend is reluctant to spend money on you, and the constraints of economic conditions are also a factor that cannot be ignored.
In real life, many people struggle to make ends meet, and not every man is able to spend as much as he wants.
Some men may be under tremendous financial pressure, and they need to run around for their livelihoods and be responsible for their families.
In such a situation, even if they have deep affection for a certain woman, they do not have the spare financial resources to meet the woman's material needs.
This kind of "reluctance" is more out of practical helplessness than lack of emotion.
4.His liking is fake.
A man is not willing to spend money on you, and there is another possibility that cannot be ignored, that is, his feelings for you are not sincere.
He may just be using you as a spare tire or just want to play with you.
In such a relationship, the man will not be willing to invest too much money or time because he doesn't really value you.
In this case, they don't have a long-term plan, and falling in love with you may only be for short-term comfort and entertainment.
All say,A man who spends money for you does not necessarily love you, but if he does not spend money for you, he must not love you.
Although this sentence is somewhat one-sided, there is some truth to it.
Money is not the only criterion for measuring love, and you can't just rely on material things to measure a person's sincerity.
However, money is indeed one of the criteria for measuring love, so women should not be too arbitrary, but they can make judgments after appropriate reference.
Finally, I want to say that,Life is realistic
However, without love, life is only reality.
So, you still have to have love......
