I am poor but planned this well in advance so I had the money to go. I don't pay bills (but will start to after this trip
). Currently my only recurring payment is the $15 for the game each month. I live with my boyfriend (well, fiance, but I hate using that word) and his parents, so they pretty much take care of everything else.
I was $8 away from being totally broke last month because I only work during the school year in three 10-week sessions, part-time, off during the summer so no money coming in. And something in my calculations wasn't quite right, but since I started working again, I should be set for this trip.
My sisters funded part of my trip because they love me and also I've ALWAYS helped them out of money jams in the past, this was the first time I asked for financial help.
I'm excited! Yay!
