<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I know there is an age gap, it's actually a little larger but I am trying to keep anonymity.  I tend to understand her point of view on just about everything but for some reason I can't put this one together.  I can respect it, but I would like to understand it.  

We are getting to the point where we are talking about moving in together.  She has a 2 year old son and is currently living with family after her last relationship ended.  One of the few places we differ is that we were raised and have lived in very different economic classes.  I have quite a bit of money.  Not crazy rich, but I can buy just about whatever I would like.  She was raised without much and has very little now.

I'm all for sharing expenses or letting her pay a portion etc.  I'm not trying to make her a homemaker or anything.  She has this desire to prove that she is capable of providing for her son herself.  She doesn't want her son to go without any of the things she wants him to have, but in the same breath will admit that if she does it on her own she wouldn't be able to afford it.

She also says she would like to have more time to only work part time and spend time with her son, or have the chance to go back to school and get her degree in order to get a better job.  In my mind, it makes more sense for us to live together.  At that point, she could do whatever she wants.  For some reason she is stuck on doing what she wants on her own, even though she doesn't think she can do it.

I think that sums it up as best as I can.  I don't want to know how to get her to move in with me, I just want to see if anyone has any insight into why she has this contradictory position.
<bot>: I want to move in together, she wants to prove she can do it on her own.  Trying to see where she is coming from.
