Re: need some creative input to help me with an issue here.
lol first guy wasn't even trolling my thread now at least i guess i have a troll in my thread. i'm not too sure i think my gpa is around a 3.1 so pretty average.
if i can get something that pays like above 10 an hour and work i should be able to get enough to at least manage if i work through the school year after i move.
also if it comes down to it i could also play poker for the money i need but thats more of a last resort i'm not trying to lose money getting unlucky.Last edited by lumphoboextreme; 11-21-2010, 09:57 PM.

Don't mind sona, he hasn't gotten out of puberty yet.
15,000 in a year is more than possible part time IF you opt out of getting anything for yourself that you don't need. However, this trip should benefit yourself, or both parties. If you're just going down their to meet your girlfriend, it might be a mistake. (God forbid) If something happens with your relationship, if might not be worth while. Think carefully, I'm sure you're aware that a trip of this proportion requires a lot of thought, as well as weighing what's good and bad for you and your future (school that expensive isn't going to be easy). Save every penny you have and just push, you'll get somewhere.
EDIT:
GAMBLING + PRESSURE + POSSIBLE EMOTIONS = NO don't do it, holy f*ckalso if it comes down to it i could also play poker for the money i need but thats more of a last resort i'm not trying to lose money getting unlucky.Comment

Re: need some creative input to help me with an issue here.
kmay said basically what I was going to. If you've been doing well in the college you're attending now you should be able to get some kind of aid to go to the better school. If not you can try finding something job wise for now and save every penny of it see how much you come up with by the time you'd start working on moving. Upholding an apt plus paying for school certainly wont be a cakewalk. Having you're own apartment is a pain in the ass even with someone to split the bills with trust me. You don't want to get yourself in a situation where you have the place and are trying to go to school but are struggling to pay for the apt. I'm not sure what the expenses look like for the area you're thinking of moving to but you need to look into that carefully as well because most part time jobs will not cover enough to live on.

okay i apologize on behalf of my alt acct i am a new man
but you just seriously mentioned even the possibility of considering gambling as any sort of resort on something that ostensibly is this important to you--it's hard to take it seriously. i know this isnt your "plan" or whatever but come on, dude. think a little.

Re: need some creative input to help me with an issue here.
lol, well i played on the internet for a while and made a lot, i'm a very good poker player. know all about the game all the odds, implied odds, all that stuff. casinos have a lot of players that don't know what they're doing at lower limit tables. its obviously not my first choice but if all else fails it could be an option.Comment

Re: need some creative input to help me with an issue here.
I'm the same way I've made tons of money but the minute you need to use it as money for something like living expenses believe me it just doesn't work out. Maybe it's something in the back of your mind because you need it or maybe it's just like fu you're going to be card dead cause you need the money I don't know lol. All I know is I've made tons of money when I was in a good situation and didn't need it off poker then as soon as we really needed it because living expenses were just getting to be too much I was on a terrible downswing. You can't rely on it you have to have something solid and if you can make a few extra bucks with the poker great but never rely on it.

Work a couple of jobs during seasonal while keeping your expenses to a minimal. Move in your senior year.

Re: need some creative input to help me with an issue here.
I wasn't trolling, Financial Aid can help out a great deal, and the earlier you apply the better. I applied pretty late and they still gave me $2k in grant money (the kind you don't have to pay back) and community college is like $700 for 14 hours. So if you apply earlier than I did next year (I'm not sure when they start accepting applications,) chances are you'll get something more like $5k and then your financial problem is that much less.
Although maybe I should have sounded like a troll, because FAFSA is pretty obvious.Originally posted by topComment

Simple solution: You wait until you graduate college at wherever you currently attend, then move in with your girlfriend after graduation.Originally posted by ?
