I suspect that the "moving in" will result in many more lifestyle changes. It's likely that the girlfriend will want to have a place with nice furniture instead of the typical bachelor spartan approach. And will probably want to eat nice meals (at home or in a restaurant) instead of take-away. Maybe the new flat is further from work, thus increasing the cost of commuting.
I'd guess that many of these changes will come with a price tag.
But, if Smirksalot can convince his employer to spring for the reader *for work*, then of course he wins.

Here in the USA, there are laws that an employer must make reasonable accommodations for physical disabilities. Maybe you can convince your doctor or ophthalmologist to document that the typical back-lit screen is causing your headaches and recommend an eInk screen.
