I have a boyfriend, we have been together a year now, and I love him very much, but there is just something I am not sure about, this is a problem, let me explain, Everytime that I have money, I like to buy myself something nice, but when he knows this he asks for something too, he will pick something like a child in a candy store, I tell him I was going to buy me something with it, he says"It is only $50, besides I gave you money last time to spend, and I'm taking you to dinner. But for some reason I always have to give money. I hate this, what can I do??? Any help will be appreciated.

Don't tell him that you have money. That what he is doing is called economical abuse. You need to provide for yourself first. Tell him asertivly no he cant have any thing, or tell him this is what I am going to get if there is any thing left then maybe.
