Money, money, money... I don't like money, it is why it is not a big deal in my life.

[Gemmie 142]

It's only a big deal because we have very little, and it's *affecting* my life as an individual and as a couple.

Otherwise we would all not worry about it.

Don't take me wrong, I was not judging you... I'm freelance so some months I make lots of money and some others none.

But like I said, I don't like money so I don't care, I just need my man, some food in my plate and a roof

Thanks for the words of understanding and encouragement. It's like Gemmie said -- it's a worry because we have so little. I wasn't worried about money until now, because the funds will continue to dwindle down until I manage to find a job post-graduation in May. So it very well could come down to keeping food on the table and a roof over my/our heads. I can't let it get to that point, and if something's not changing (me working, Andy finding a job to pay for the upcoming expenses), it WILL come to that. I would be an idiot if I didn't do everything possible to avoid those problems. But it puts a huge strain on me since I've already got a full plate with my coursework and preparing for the job hunt ahead. Nothing's gone as planned since Andy's student visa plan fell through originally - the finances just get worse and our reunion day more uncertain.

I'm not trying to be a cry baby or whine and moan on here. Still, it's easy to forget that sometimes it's not as simple as "just don't worry about it." There's only so much time on your feet a body can take before you're going to crash. That's where I'm heading. I don't expect everyone to understand; I certainly didn't understand until recently how someone can get into a worry about money. I assumed it was irresponsibility. In my case, it was planning that just didn't pan out.

ANYWAYS I probably just shouldn't post anymore since I only seem to be bringing down this thread, and I don't want to take away from anyone's joy. I'm backing away slowly for awhile until I have only good news to post.

I have to get to class now anyways. Good luck with the upcoming medicals, interviews, sleepless nights with infants, etc.

How many pictures are you you guys taking to the interview. Right now we have about 18 and some of those are the ones we sent in with our petition.

Just wondering.

[Gemmie 142]

Like Aubrey, when it comes down to "can I put food on the table and pay my rent?", it's something to worry about. I'm not a huge fan of money or material things either, but it's a dim fact that it's important.

Anyways it doesn't matter, don't want to talk about that over the happiness of the bouncing bundle of joy!

This thread is here to share good and not so good stories. And you know it Aubrey because you began that thread

I didn't know that your situation was this bad and I'm sorry. I hope that everything will be ok for you both. I send you all my support and some of my "I don't care about money" spirit MWAH
