It's all go.........

I've been home for a few weeks now and I'm finally getting back in to a routine and back to work! S starts her new job today and I'm feeling nervous and excited for her, I'm so proud of what she's achieved, she;s worked so hard getting her degree and her masters degree at a young age and then worked her way to where she is today, I'm so happy for her to have an amazing career and to see her so happy doing a job she loves

In 17 days I'm moving house! I'm moving from a big 3 bed cottage that I'm living in by myself in the countryside to a little 1 bed apartment in a local town which means more access to places, its cheaper to rent so I can start saving money for future trips and also start saving for the visa/move to America hopefully! I also intend on looking for a new job too closer to my new place so I'm not driving everywhere in the car so I can try save a bit of petrol I spend more time in my car at the moment that anywhere else for work it kinda gets boring driving all over!

In 70 days (10 weeks today) I'll be on my way back to Arizona for another visit, I'm so looking forward to it, I'm a little worried about customs/immigration but I'm taking evidence of my job etc just in case!
I've had a lot of people that I work with saying "How can you afford to go away again?" "it's alright for some" "Have you got lot of savings?" "You never seem to be at work so how can you afford it exactly?" Which isn't very nice, I have savings and I spend money wisely, I have spread sheets with my in comings and outgoings we all know as LDR's you save as and when you can!! I just ignore the comments and work hard to save for my future and what I plan to do, it's no one else's business!

I'm so excited to see her again, it's going to be hard now she is back at work and I'll be moving house but it will all be worth it

  People will sometimes be jealous or can't really understand, if someone is spending money on something that they in their minds cound not afford. And you do have savings, so they half way guessed right I usually tell people that if you cut down on a lot of rubbish and too expensive stuff, you can afford a lot of things... If they are really interested, and not just out to mock you, you can even start a discussion on how they perhaps once saved up for something they really liked and wanted a whole lot, like their hobbies, wedding, their kids or other goals. It is just people forget that when it comes to LDRs, that they are really the same at any other thing that you cherish and prioritize above all else. I try to be open about it as I find that it settles the question and also invite people to be open about their lives. If you don't have the energy, though, you can just go "Well, that' for you to wonder and I to know. Perhaps one day I will tell you the secret "
  
  Good luck on the move! I hope you will find that it is hard but worth it. I just did the other way around (moving from a small flat to a larger), that is also in order to hopefully accommodate SO when he comes. Good luck with the custums, too

  I noticed that when you travel often to see your bf, people just assume that you/him are rich, and don't really think about how much you sometimes have to sacrifice to be able to afford those trips!
  
  Best of luck with moving, and countdown till you see your SO

  Don't worry about people criticizing where your money is coming from. People here assume that since my husband is the only one working atm and he only works part-time, we depend on social services, but we actually have a decent amount of savings that grow each week and no debt whatsoever AND enough money to have pizza 3 times a week haha. Some people are good with money, some are not, it's jealousy :P
