I have an issue and it's been bothering me for quite some time. As in my previous post, I work at an office and at 2 other jobs. I pay about $875 a month in college loans and trust me I have tried my best to lower those loans for my sake.. but it's not possible. Anyways, my office job pay covers my loans completely whether I work full or part time..if I'm lucky I'll have $100-&200 spare to put into my savings. I then work two other part time jobs..one is at a retail store in my town..where on a good pay check I make about $300-$400...and then I babysit where I make at least $100-$150 a week. A few months ago I got my own banking account because my mother was stealing money from me. I made this account private and secret and worked with the kind people at the bank to make sure all was hidden. I've been able to save almost five grand, which is the most I've ever saved in my entire life.

Anyways, I have a girlfriend who I want to live with. We've been together for about a year and a half. And I know she's my bestfriend and soulmate. We want our lives together. She used to live down the street from me..and we worked at Target together for over a year..that's where we met . She moved over half a year ago and lives in upstate NY. It's been hard being away from her.. and we've both been pushing ourselves to work hard so we could live our lives together. She just landed a new job up there and starts this week. I keep finding myself looking for jobs up by where she lives..and there are jobs up there with good benefits and pay. I want to apply so badly. But we don't have a place yet. And I don't own a car..but I mean I guess it's almost time for me to own my first.

My question to you all basically is.. in what order should I do this all in because eventually it should all be done... Should I get a car first? Then apply to jobs up there? Then wait until my girlfriend has her apartment and then either move up there or visit there for interviews.. It's a 7 hour drive. I just want things to happen. It's hard because I have these dumb college loans to pay every month and they don't ever stop. Rent by where she is is cheap..she said she could pay it by herself easily so I can worry about my loans. This is all just about me trying to land a job up there..part of me feels like I'm wasting time siting here..but I think she wants me to be patient and to wait a little. I think I've just been getting anxious thinking..what if I can't find anything up there by the time I apply. Maybe I'm jumping the gun because we miss each other so much and I just don't want us to be apart anymore? How do you make "The Transition"? From one place to another? To one job to the next? All while still paying college loans. Could I apply and still have a chance if I got a call back...knowing I live currently in NJ and the job obviously is in upstate NY? What do I tell the company?
