My fiance asked me if I would like to quit my job and move to Texas or Colorado with him for the summer. After the summer was over we would be moving back here, he'd go back to school and his dormitory, and I'd move back in with my dad. My first reaction (inside my head of course) was YESYESYES, FINALLY he wants to live together. My second reaction was OHSHIT, I'd be JOBLESS.
He said it wasn't set in stone yet, because there was a chance the job would stay in state, but that it was looking like they'd have to send him to one of those two locations. They would be paying for the apartment, and he'd even let me bring my cats. So he wants me to think about it.
My big issue is job/money. I work part-time at a video game store for minimum wage. I love the job, though the pay sucks. I am looking for a second job. If that was all, I might go. But I have about $200 of tuition each quarter to pay (Spring is paid of, but the Summer deadline is drawing ominously near), and then every two weeks I have $50.01 withdrawn from my account from a debt collection agency. So unless he's willing to pay those while I am completely jobless, I'd be SOL. 1-3 days on minimum wage isn't covering this already, I am basically borrowing desperately from him and my mom.
My mom suggested asking for a leave of absence from my work, but even at one day a week that is 12 days missed. If summertime gets me back to 3-4 days a week that is more like 36 days missed. I doubt my work would give it to me.
Anyway, this one was long, I am betting a lot of you didn't actually read it, but I am just looking for some advice.
