not feeling a relationship and unsure of what to do

Erin
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 months. At first the relationship was great, we had a lot of fun. He has been inbetween jobs/working min wage jobs and I just ended up paying for everything. Every meal when we are together I pay for(even to cook I have to buy the ingredients to do that)
 I myself only work retail and don't have a ton of money to spend every singe time we are together. 
It started to really bother me that I always pay (he's maybe paid 6 times the whole time we've been together) 
I finally sat him down and told him about my issue and he said he hadn't even realized it was a problem but wanted to try and fix it. I don't see him getting a higher paying job any time soon and I can't afford to keep dishing money out. 
He's a really sweet and funny guy but I just don't know what I should do. 
Any thoughts or advice?
