Can you afford to buy something in your own right ?

use the money you have for that, in a years time when she gets her better job re-mortgage and continue.

If it all goes pearshaped, the house is yours and (I'm hoping) she wouldn't be entitled to anything as you bought it and paid the mortgage.

If it improves quality of life, I'd use it, it's not a life changing amount after all.

In my humble opinion and something I debate with various tight ass friends and family, most people spend too much time focused on saving money. If they spent more time on how to earn or make more, they'd be far better off in the end.

Put all your stuff in storage and move into the place she already rents, I would assume she has made provision to cover her rent whilst training? If you can cope for a year whilst she is training it will make you both sure you can make things work, when she starts on better pay rent a bigger place and go 50/50, not that I don't trust women but what if she kicks you to the kerb in 12 months time? she has had 12 months rent free and moves on with her life.
