writes: Hello, can I get some advice? :)I'm 22 and I recently finished a post-grad degree at University. I have a part time job (which I really dislike, but I took for the money) but very little money saved at the moment because a lot of it went towards University fees. I would really like to move out (I still live at home with my parents) with my boyfriend (who also wants to move from where he is living now), and we've talked about it a lot - it's something that we both want to work towards.The problem is, because I still need to find a better job and a better income, and because my boyfriend is also in a job that he dislikes/has low pay, this isn't something that's going to happen quickly. It's something that we're going to have to work hard for and be patient for. How can I make this easier and less painful? Because my job is part time I spend a lot of time at home (time which I mostly spend applying for new jobs) so often I get trapped in a nasty cycle of being bored - getting depressed over work - missing my boyfriend - making myself miserable. It's very tough and stressful. If you've been through something similar, what do you suggest I do to make things easier? Thank you.

I would NOT quit til you get a better job. I'm sorry but I would rather have a sucky job then no job.
As for missing your BF, set up some Skype Dates and try and see if the both of you can come up with an ACTUAL plan that can help you two move in together feasible.
