It's the exams and the cost of them that is the tougher part of the license 
But will you save money with a job?

What? That's what you work for...to get money. If I get money, pay my bills and put the rest away, it will accumulate. I don't understand what you're asking.
I don't know. I have a hard time maintaining speed in a car and cruise control isn't kosher. Not to mention driving scares me because I'm always afraid I'll wreck the car or die. >.<

It's not easy to save money for most people unless they make decent money. If you're not paid well it can be difficult to save. If you BF doesn't mind handling most of the bills, saving shouldn't be too hard unless you spend it all.

*sigh* I know. I have to work somewhere though, I just can't collect unemployment (I don't even know if I'm approved yet) until he gets an apartment. I have to try. I would feel horrible if I didn't have SOMETHING in my account to help out until I had a job in the new place. I was making $11/hr at my old job and I managed to save something to help me pay these bills for some months. If I get any full time job, I feel I'll be okay. >.<

Not sure why him having an apartment affects unemployment. It's usually based on how much you paid in (if you did and did you meet the minimum requirements), why you were terminated (for cause would affect it). I have never heard of it being based on where you live. There is usually a time frame for when you are elegible after losing your job (it's based on the last time you contributed to UE insurance).
Freeloading off parents is usually acceptable when you are young since relatives usually don't want to see a young family member homeless. Doing that or making minimal contributions as an adult is usually frowned upon and can lead towards resentment. Consider yourself blessed that your bf has not looked at your work history and decided to run.
Note: This might be bordering on an inapropriate tone for a post in The Haven, but I', not sure.

It doesn't. I just don't want to be a bum collecting unemployment all my life, that's all. I know how it's calculated. I was fired so I may not get it at all. :/
I know. He's too good for me.

No he isn't. Unemployment happens. He's simply supporting your through a bad time, which is what partners do. If you were unwilling to look for work, then he'd have an excuse to bolt.

I wouldn't say too good for you because that implies he deserves better. Also, you don't need to worry about collecting unemployment your entire life because you won't be elegible for it unless you work occassionally. Even then you won't get much unless your income is close to the cap.
Also, depending on your state and reason for the firing, you may be elegible. If you were fired for performance reasons you may be elegible for something.

Yeah, I'm too determined and I hate just being at home all the time. I supported him when he was looking for work when we first met. I guess he's just returning the favor. >.<
noname_ever - Probably. I was trained for 4 days when they said this job required three weeks of training. How they expect 94% or higher grade from that, it's impossible.

That's a positive with respect to unemployment compensation, so you may be elegible. If you threw a temper tantrum or were fired for a cause like that then you would likely be inelegible. It depends on the state though.
Also, he could be returning the favor or you may be better than nothing
It's something to consider.

It's something to consider.Well, i did hang up on a rude caller and she complained about me. I wasn't trained properly to address her concern and I sent messages to my manager and got no reply and the call escalated. Hopefully they interpret that in my favor. >.<
"You may be better than nothing" um...care to explain that? Like is he staying with me just so he'll have something or you're saying that I'm worth something (which is more than nothing). I'm confused by your phrasing.

That sounds like it could be a training issue, which may be in your favor.
The phrase better than nothing means that he is better off with you than without you. You may not be perfect, but he would be worse off if you weren't there. If he was better off without you in the picture (assuming he is not lazy), he would have left you.

I hope so.
Ohhh. Okay. He is definitely happier with me, as he tells me. We've been dating for 7 months now and we're very happy with each other. I just hope it stays that way.
