I don’t think she understands what it’s like to have so little money. You may want to talk to her. If she doesn’t mind tho maybe you could do something small instead like a hike or picnic.

Agree with 4, you might have to be a little more direct/clear about your money situation so she fully understands why you can’t afford it right now, but either way try to do something for free because I don’t think cancelling the date is necessary/will be helpful in making your case

NTA!!! Furthermore, if she can’t understand this, INSTANTLY BREAK TF UP DUDE. As a guy who is happily married but was also around the block, imagine dealing with this for 20 years
