📝 AITAH for asking a GF to help out financially after having her live with me rent free for 7 months?

Out of my GF(25) my son(13) and myself(34) I'm the only one with a job (which pays $62k a year). We live in relatively expensive suburban area next to Midwestern US city. I pretty much hit a dead end in regards job promotion at work and rely more on bonuses than I like to admit

I would like to be the main breadwinner of the home, but it's gotten to a point where I'm using regularly using credit cards for everything (groceries, gas, and utilities), and pray i got paid enough to pay them off by the end of the month. Not to mention the way the current economy is going.

The only job my GF worked was at a local pastry, and described the job as "one of worst experiences of my life". When I asked her she should get a part time job she said she'll look into it, but that was 2 months ago. She'll clean the house, cook, and do dishes which is nice, but tbh is the least of my concerns right now.

Ultimately I'm thinking of giving her ultimatum of either get a job at the local Aldi or McDonald's (which are always hiring) or I break up with her and boot her out the house.
