Make sure you have unlimited minutes on your cell unless you want hefty bills.  Check around for the cheapest air fare and see if you can find any good deals, the earlier you get your ticket, the cheaper usually.  There are some really great discounted airlines.  Try US 3000.  They may not fly to where you want though, the only downfall.

Set up some sort of payment arrangement with your friend. But first find out how much you can do without. Make sure you stick with what you are going to pay him and don't give him a song and dance about being broke. Keep a ledger of what you paid and how much. Also get him to sign or initial it even if he says it's not necessary. Once you are done, don't borrow anymore. I'm assuming you want to keep this friend.

I managed to keep a ralationship alive between Australia and uk via email, letters and phone calls, (\nOver the space of 3 months i spent the equivalent of $2000 US dollars on phone calls) .....I won't lie, it is Bl**dy hard work, bot worth it. I've now been very very happily married to that person for 2 years.\n\nYou have to be honest and open in any conversation, and you have to tell each other EVERYTHING!!!!! ( and I mean everything, bad things too!)\n\nIf it's right you'll know within weeks of being apart. If he's worth fighting and suffering for, give it everything.  \n\nI guess if you are just leaving school you are still in your teens, i'm in my mid 30's, there's a huge world out there to discover, live for now, enjoy yourself and follow your heart!\n\nGood Luck

first know exactly what the funds go for and tell them when you call/contact them, also give them suggestions of what they may contribute, tell them how successiful it was in past years. Hope this helps

The hardest thing in a long distance relationship is trust. Keep it open and honest. Communicate often but not daily. Send cards and pictures alot. If he needs help financially and you can afford to help him save money set up a small college fund for him and save it for when he can go to school. Or if you think he would use it wisely send it to him now.

Why not?  I am.  As long you both can pay your bills and like what you do, what's the big deal?  It's just money!

If you want to play games with your financial future, which is what you are proposing here, at minimum a course in math/ financial calculations could help.  A meeting with your banker could help you understand the current rates if any that they could offer to you for your proposed project, and what conditions would be imposed on such a loan.\n\nNo, it does not sound to me as if this is an advisable plan.  It seems that basic business knowledge is missing. This can cause severe problems for the plan.

hi, she is just your gf. you don't know what might happen to your relationship with her in the future. don't give your money to her. she sound like she like to have your money and not paying back which is so unfair. i know you  love her but she has to control herself. and also, if you are going to loan money for her, let her sign an agreement to pay whatever amount you guys agreed to pay every month. think about yourself too not just hers. anyway, that's not your problem. yes, you can help but don't shoulder all of it. good luck!\n\n i am a woman with almost the same problem and my ex bf paid all my debt, unfortunately, we broke up  and there's no aggreement for me to pay him back every month and now he is suffering to pay for it. careful! i don't wanna do it again though and thinking i will pay him the whole amount at the end of this year but i will just surprise him. he don't know my plan of paying him the whole amount.

Yes. There are tons of options. The best one in my opinion is 100% financing. Contact a local broker who can give you the best rates due to the availability of being qualified with several lenders. They are all competeing for your business.

Phone calls, webcam, letters, and honesty in all areas.  You must also spend time together, not as a holiday, but truly exposing your good AND bad traits.  Long distance relationships can work, but only if each person stays transparent.  If the communication and honesty/trust  isn't there while dating, it won't be there after marriage. Visting England and visting America is so  much fun, but a marriage doesn't come with a guarantee that if you get past customs you will make it.  Questions:  how do you both handle anger?  How do you handle differences in race, religion, customs and traditions?  Good luck. I dated my Dutch beau for 4 years, moved to Holland and married him. We are married 10 years now, and have moved back to California.  But it wasn't easy and isn't easy...we had to stop pretending that we were on a holiday. :)

I'm a family law attorney, so this is an easy one for me.  How about a pre-nuptial agreement that protects your interests.  Also, some pre-marital financial planning with investments that would protect you would be reasonable.\n\nFeel free to e-mail me if you have other questions.

You need to provide details, is your partner the only one working? Did you know that when the two of you were getting together?\n\nIf it was the money that you got together for, you can never have enough, that I assure you and you can never meet anyone who can make enough for you.\n\nYou may be asking this question, I am speculating, because you may have found your interest in someone else and money is only an excuse, since you are not able to find anything else -may be.\n\nI doubt you are interested in a detailed answer.

I went out with someone who lived in Spain when I was living in Ireland, I am now married to him and we are about to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, so yes, long distance relationships can definitly work, you just have to be prepared to work at them!!

First, if you're going to solicit funding, you should find a more appropriate venue.\n\nSecond, if you're going to solicit funding in English, you should at least make sure that your sentences are grammatically sound.  Let's start this new education system by having you educate yourself on what is and is not appropriate in Yahoo! answers.\n\nThirdly...no, I cannot help you "financially to our great mission" whatever that means.

You can offer to pay - but do it discreetly. Most guys like to be a gentleman and pay for everything - but it does get expensive! Maybe, let the guy pay. Then discreetly give him the money to pay for something - so it looks like he's paying. He will think you're thoughtful - you've considered his finances and understood his pride! \n\nOf course you can take it in turns paying. You also have to take into account who has the higher income - if he does and he insists on paying - maybe you should let him - if there are no strings attached. But some men see paying for everything as "buying" you and you then feel under their control. Don't let that happen.

If you guys live a long distance from each other, and still are able to see each other a few times a month...it's worth it.  It looks like 1or2 of you are attempting to make this relationship work by seeing each other.  Doesn't that mean anything?  The key to a long distance relationship is trust, communication, trust, and communication.:-)  Don't let the distance fool you into believing that it won't work.  You two keep doing what you're doing...it will work.

Yes! Long distance relationships CAN work out! It is A LOT of hard work. I don't know what country you are from and what the customs are there, so I don't know how relevant or plausible my advice will be.\n\nAlways tell her your true feelings. Let her know your worries. Don't forget to tell her how much she means to you, OFTEN!\n\nAlways treat each other with honesty, trust, understanding, respect, and be willing to compromise and to communicate thoughts and feelings openly. This is the basic foundation of a relationship that both people need to work on to make it work, especially for a long distance relationship.\n\nIf you've both been waiting for each other six years, I don't think there's much to worry about. Once you have earned the money, go back and see her. Tell her and show her how much she means to you. Talk about both of your futures.\n\nFight for your relationship, but also be realistic. Sometimes no matter how much both of you care about each other, there are other things that get in the way, such as time and physical distance. Long distance relationships can work, depending on how willing both people are to put hard work into the relationship.
