In two years, I will most likely have had a slight raise in pay- although that doesn't say much. When we live together, we will only both be going to school at the same time for one more year, and then he will be working full-time. And like his sister has said to us: "My parents won't let you guys starve or live on the street if things get that bad."

The roommates is an awesome idea, but I'm not sure we could do that with the apartment we're looking at getting. We're planning on getting a one-room because frankly, we don't really need a lot of extra room since the SJSU campus is right across the street and it has a lovely 'built-in park', I guess you could call it.

Thanks for all your advice, seriously. Some of it does get me down. I ended up telling him we just can't do it and that I'll just go crazy living at home instead of living in poverty. But I guess I have to be optimistic, right? It's still in two years, I guess. Two years is just so damn long...
