Here's a suggestion on saving some $$ for trips that I use. I have a Vacation Jar and every time I have loose change, I drop the change into the jar. It slowly adds up and when the jar is full, I take it to the local bank or credit union and have the machine separate and calculate the amount that I have. Then I put that amount into my Vacation Account and leave it there and slowly, but surely I have enough to take a trip and not have to worry about finding the money to do so.
I'm glad you are going to meet up w/this gentleman. Sounds like he's just starting to get back on the dating track as well. Who knows? This could be a very good match for you...just go and have some fun. Keep your expectations at zero and try not to go into any heavy discussions about your xh. Stick to the here and now and you just might find that the two of you have interests in common. I know you won't do this...but don't try to compare him to the other men you've dated and hopefully he won't be comparing you either. It's an open book and one that you can write your own outcome for.
Good luck and I look forward to hearing how the meet up went.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
