Planning For The Future Financially

planning for the future financially
Future plans HELP!! College or love?!?

I’m almost ready to graduate High School. I want to move in with my boyfriend and attend a Community College. However, my parents REFUSE to help me pay for college if I move out of get married. They will only help if I live with them while attending. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. I love him so much and just wanna begin our lives together. We can’t financially support both of us attending college and a house! What should I do? I’d continue living with them, it’s just after a date or being with my boyfriend I bawl because we aren’t together and i miss him soo much. I just wanna be with him! And he feels the EXACT same way!

I can truly understand where your coming from. I had the same options only there where no parents involved. It was either college or my fiancee. I chose to stay with my fiancee and have yet to attend any college. I would suggest you stay at your parents and go to college. I know you miss your boyfriend but things change when it comes to keeping up a household. Money puts a huge strain on relationships. Trust me. I’m 23 and have all ready been divorced once and am married again, don’t get me wrong, I love my wife to death. We have two little boys and I am working to put her through college, it is not easy. I just wish I would have gotten a degree in something before I ever got married or even moved in with someone. Get yourself financially set up before you move in together that way money won’t be that big of a problem.
