My friends keep mentioning their trip to the States (and mentioning that I’m more than welcome to go, if I want to.)
And I’m very tempted. But it costs money, and it’s easy, now, looking at the long list of wonders that await us, to think that it will be okay getting a loan. But will it?
There is so much that is exciting about the prospect of the trip. It will be right in the middle of American football season, and not only would we get to watch an NFL game – and probably a very good game at that; we would get to choose the area we go to, after all – but we would get to see a college game as well.
I’ve not seen a college game before, not in the flesh, and the atmosphere and the spirit of them is fantastic from what I can see.
The trouble is, it is difficult to afford it. Especially after paying out so much for my sub-editing course over recent weeks. So I’ve been looking at independent financial advisers to help me put together a plan to combat my penniless state.
It will have to be a big move to afford it, either way. I’ve got my current account and that’s it – I’ve never had to get a loan before, discounting my student one back in the day. And I don’t like the idea of increasing my debt.
I’ve been looking at some banking websites and browsing the financial news to keep my eye on trends and deals that might help out, but ultimately I think it’ll have to be a loan and the debt that entails – or no trip.
Decisions, decisions…
