I [20F] met my boyfriend [30M] in January through a mutual friend. We started seeing each other casually, but he was offered a job across the country that provided a much-needed pay raise and he ended up moving in August. 

He didn't want to start a serious relationship until he got his life together (he moved with no money, no idea what the job entailed, no place to live) and I said that was fine. We continued to communicate every day, he finished his work training in September and asked me out the same day. We've been officially together for about a month.

Our plan was to alternate visiting each other once a month (he came back in September), and then in April I would move in with him. He starts work this week, and was just informed that he would be earning around $6000 a month as a laborer. He was incredibly excited, and I'm very happy for him. HOWEVER, I'm worried. I am still a student and though I work full-time, I make minimum wage and that probably won't change until I graduate in 2 years.

I am planning to move in with him early next year, but I'm worried that he'll begin to resent me because I'm not pulling my weight or I'm keeping him from doing things because of my financial situation.I won't be able to contribute anywhere near as much to household expenses. I can't afford to travel with him or go to pricey restaurants, or even buy my own vehicle at the moment. I'm not looking for him to support me or to mooch off him, but if he wants to adjust his lifestyle to suit his new situation, I'm going to be left behind.

The age gap between us is fairly large but it has never been an issue. We get along great, have very strong feelings for each other and want the same things out of this relationship. This has me feeling insecure about the difference for the first time. I'm worried he will no longer see me as his equal because financially, I'm not.

My boyfriend got a huge pay raise and I'm afraid he'll resent me because of my financial situation.
