Hi, everyone. There is a post in a Facebook group about seeing signs in what could be construed as random events. Well, it seems like life is sending signs to me too, but not in a good way.
A couple of weeks ago, my car got totaled. We were fine, but now a down payment or purchase of a car is going to eat into the money I need for a visit.
The past few days, the other car in the household has been randomly dieing as we are driving down the road...no pattern but its either fuel pump or electronics both if which are likely to coat a pretty penny. We finally broke down today and had it towed to our mechanic and rented a car...so there goes another big chunk of the taxes.
With all of this, bills that need to be caught up, and so on, its looking like I'm not going to have the 450 or so it will take for the trip and a two day stay. My honey lives with others, so a nice chunk of the cost is motel and eating expenses. It will only take 100 or so in gas IF I can find a reasonably priced ride for me.
Any way, it seems like some something is telling me to say away from this man. I can't see why from this distance, but what I know of him from the past three months says we could be very good together. He has a very part time job, so its unlikely he will be able to help out with the expense.
I don't know how or when I'll be able to save up any money...what I was depending on is my tax return. I can't in good conscious put off meeting him for another year. I'm in my 30s and want a child while I'm still young enough for age related factors not to figure into any danger for me or an unborn child.
How do you all find ways to save money for a trip to see your partner? I know many of you havea much higher cost, are college students, etc so you have more obstacles to over come. My family has one bill that isn't a total necessity which is a cell phone bill. We don't have cable/satellite tv, internet, home phone, or any of this niceties. I'm not complaining about it, I'm thankful to have a roof, lights, heat and food. But money is going to kill this relationship if something doesn't get better fast! Any advice on how to save or get some extra income would be so appreciated. If you read this monstrosity, thank you. I needed to vent as much as to ask for advice. You ALL rock.
