aerogurl87 Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Everything is going great with my guy and I, but unfortunately life has thrown us a bit of a curve ball. His job has cut his hours pretty much in half at work, so now things are getting a little tight financially, which sucks since I'm supposed to be going to see him next month. Plane tickets have been bought and paid for already, but I'm sort of starting to worry about how much money he'll have when I get there now due to his job. I won't have much when I arrive (well other than enough to get back home in case of an emergency) and so he'll be paying for mostly everything, but with him losing hours at work I know it'll be hard on him. He tells me not to worry because as he puts it "if we really want everything to work we'll find a way to make it work". But I can't help but worry a little bit. Sorry for the rant.
Author aerogurl87 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks LisaLove Yeah I talked to him and he knew I was freaking out, but he has lots of stuff planned for us to do that is either really inexpensive or free he said. So I'm trying not to freak out anymore and instead I'm going to start thinking about what clothes, books (I need something to read on my plane ride), and other stuff I'm going to pack for my visit and what I need to get done before I leave.
Deadcan Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I am in a bit of a similar situation. My money is really tight and I am seeing my girl this upcoming Saturday. I get paid on Friday and I was lucky enought a few months ago to pre-pay for my flight and our hotel room for my stay in Tucson, but what I am not sure about is how much money I will have the 5 days I am with her. I know she has a long list of things she wants us to do and I am not sure I will be able to afford them even with friday being pay day. All I know is I a going to make the most of it, as long I get to be with her it really doesn't matter beyond food and shelter what I have $ for. I was thinking we might play some board games or cards. I am trying to focus mostly on the fact that regardless of what we can afford to do we are together and I am not going to let that fact slip by me. I'll take the extra time to do the things I miss the most, like hold her hand or share kisses with her... back rubs, hugs... the little things that don't cost a dime. Hope you can enjoy all those little things as well and not worry about the monies... - Derric Aka Deadcan....
Author aerogurl87 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks Deadcan, yeah I am just looking forward to being able to spend 2 full weeks with him in person. But I do know one thing we're doing is going horseback riding together. I had asked him to take me about 2 months ago and he said he already has money set aside for that, so we're doing that. Other than that I'd just be happy walking around his town with him or maybe going for a picnic somewhere. Anything that will include having him beside me.
Els Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Will you be staying at his place? If so I don't see a need to spend any more than he's comfortable with, so it really shouldn't be a problem.
Deeblondie82 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I understand what you are saying. Money is so tight these days. The guy Im seeing is in Illinois and Im in Oregon and Seeing eachother is tough. He is paying for my ticket and thats all he can afford even tho he has 2 jobs. I dont work now and I feel bad but he tells me he wants to do it so he can spend time with me and see where it may lead. Life is hard but you have to make the best of it. I agree with the others, help pay at times and i know things are limited. Once I get a job Im buying a ticket for me. Good luck!
Author aerogurl87 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah Elswyth I'll be staying at his house so that's helping us save alot of money. DeeBlondie82 yeah I told him that I felt bad because money was tight for both of us now and that maybe we should've waited till he got another job to see each other, but he said no because he wanted to see me as soon as he could. He's kinda like your guy I guess, lol. But good luck to you too, I hope you enjoy spending time with your guy.
Deeblondie82 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I hope he isnt the same guy.......LOL! J/p Thanks I need all the luck with this.. its kinda nerve racking! Wish money fell out of trees or the sky!!!
in_absentia Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 When you're with someone you love you don't care about doing things that cost money, you just want to spend time with them... usually rolling around in bed talking and laughing and other things, which is free You guys should to to the shops, buy some cheap healthy ingredients and cook a really nice meal together instead of go out, and go for lots of walks etc.
Author aerogurl87 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 in_absentia yeah we are going to cook together at least one day I know. Since I can't make pasta sauce from scratch, he's going to make that and I'm going to make the actual pasta noodles from scratch. So I think that'll be alot of fun. He's from a small town so there won't be many places to go anyway, but I just want to be with him. That's what I'm looking forward to the most, being with him and having him in my arms and near me for 2 whole weeks.
