My Goal is to Have a Life with my Boyfriend

[Ginariffic]

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, but I've been lurking.

The reason I want to save money and be frugal is because I'm in undergrad, I plan on grad school, and I am pondering multiple degrees. They'd be in the sciences. During that time, I still want to create a life with my boyfriend, whom I'm very much in love with. He is also in undergrad back at my hometown, but plans on transferring here to complete it. His career path also requires grad school. It is very important to me that we both follow our dreams above all else, but I want to make it work long-term. We've been together almost three years, and I understand that's a short time to be thinking about forever. So right now I have multiple goals surrounding the larger one.

-Have an apartment with my boyfriend
-Pay for school
-If still with boyfriend after school is done talk about marriage
-Live a comfortable life.

It's modest and vague, but I can't guarantee we'll be together for any of these, though I'm confident in our relationship.

Hi and to the villlage.

Welcome to this side of the screen.

Nice goals, does he share them with you? Do you discuss marriage after grad school with him?

[Ginariffic]

We've agreed that marriage will be discussed/contemplated/completed after our undergrads are completed. Not sure to what extent, hence all the slashes. We also want to move in together during out third year of undergrad. We're pretty much on the same page. Neither of us wants to try to make things work when we aren't ready financially. It'll just be asking for problems. So...I'm here!
