I can totally relate to your situation as I am back in school for my second degree in nursing. Hans is doing the regional thing so we don't have to worry about his expenses, but my student loans will probably amount to $25,000! That's a lot for me since I've never taken out a loan.
Anyway, I would suggest just take a deep breath and take one day at a time. Money problems seem to always work out, and I know it will for you and your boyfriend. Kristie is right, try to cut some corners....I have become a coupon addict! We even took a coupon I found for Hooters the other night when Hans was home!
Here's a link that might help. It has printable coupons, things you can get free in the mail, etc.....

I also watch in the Sunday paper for coupons each week. Sometimes I even trade on

Even though it is tight with money right now...remember the best thing is free...having eachother. I think it will make your boyfriend feel better if you talk to him about how much you care about him and will support him no matter what.
Oh, and having little time to study for a summer course---that I can relate to also! It helps me to write down what I have to do for quizzes, exams, homework due, etc. and then I reward myself after I accomplish each one. That way I don't feel so overwhelmed. And, whenever I have a professor that irritates me in some way (such as the thick Russian accent my Statistics prof has) I just remind myself that the professor was awarded that job for a reason, and try to learn as much as I can from a "smart brain".
I hope that helps some. I'll put you and your boyfriend in my prayers tonight.
Take care! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
