What would you do?
Where we live, we are 2 hours away from 2 cities where jobs are. The BF has a job but it's not going to get us out of debt or anything... I've applied for everything I could in the commuting area, is it time to consider branching out and maybe living a part for a bit until he gets a new job? We're just not sure what to do right now...
Re: What would you do?
That's a tough situation. I think I'd look for something in the city and try to get a month to month or 6 month lease, that way if we decide after a few months this sucks and isn't worth it we aren't committed to an entire year.
Are you currently working and looking for a new job or do you not have a job at all? If there aren't any jobs in your area, I would definitely branch out to a bigger city, especially if you're in debt.
Is this your debt or his? If it's your debt then I would do whatever possible to get out of it so I'd start applying to jobs in the 2 cities--it's a tough market and while planning ahead is good, if you're currently out of a job, I'd worry more about getting an interview than figuring out logistics like living apart for x amount of time.
Weren't you two originally a LDR? Compared to that, 2 hours apart for a few months until you both new jobs in the city might be a small price to pay...even smaller if you're making more money and getting out of debt.
