You’ve been visiting travel websites for a while now, not to mention all the time you’ve spent staring at the pictures of other people’s trips and sighing. Isn’t it time to stop all that wishful thinking and get down to business? Sure it is. You’ve got a driver’s license and a passport (and if you don’t, you should look into it), and you know where you want to go. Make it happen. Soon.

Take risks only if you’re not too hung up on the return. If it’s a casual chat you want, you know what that entails. But if you’re worried about getting your heart stomped on, take it slowly and do your research. Don’t get in too deep unless it’s a sure thing.

Living on love alone is, unfortunately, not a possibility at this time. You and your partner need to get those money matters in shape, and quickly. A few cost-cutting measures can have an amazing effect.

Your take on the issue is all wrong. Looking at it as a power struggle is just a waste of energy. You and money are on the same team, even if money is AWOL.
