Feel so defeated, husband got a new job in another state. He moved out there February 2 and we stayed behind til the school year is done. He/we would love to have him come out once a month but flights are crazy expensive. I could use our some of our tax return but that is our 1000 EF. Any other extra money is going into housing/moving. Do we NOT see each other for three months or should we use that 1000 dollars?

3 months without your husband sounds terrible. I would spend the money to see him.

We’re military so 3 months is nothing to me when I’ve been away from my husband for over 12 months at a time. He’s had 5 deployments, longest was 18 months and shortest was 10, he leaves often for weeks-3months regularly. Three months is a jump and a skip away. You’ve started this journey so stay on it. That money has a job that you’ve given it already. It hurts, it sucks, but you will be just fine. FaceTime and talk/text a lot. In three months when you’re all back together you will be glad you stayed on your path to financial freedom.

I can't back this one! Save your money. #USARMY deployments suck but it's a part of our lives. It's 3 months, that's easy!
