i've hit rock bottom, but i'm not giving up. [long]

[will try to make it as short as possible, I feel like writing though so might be too long for most people]

Here's the story. I'm a 21 year old swede who moved to australia in august last year. Lived at the sunshine coast til mid november, which is when I moved to Perth. Have had the time of my life, 10 days after I came here I met a girl, who i'm now marrying the 18th of july. (had talked to her a lot on msn before I met her, so we knew each other pretty well. For reasons I can't bother going into, I can't live with her at the moment)

Ok, long story (a little bit) shorter.


Brought around $10k from sweden so didn't have any problems money wise the first couple months. Was planning on going home in feb-march when I first got here, so didn't think i'd have to work at all. But when I met my girlfriend and we started getting serious, I decided to get a job so I could stay longer.

Stayed at a hostel since I came to perth, where I got offered a job, starting feb 13th, sounded awesome, free accomodation and around $700 a week.

anyway, girlfriend wanted to go to bali and I figured why not, so we booked feb 5th-12th. While we where there, she decided she wanted to stay over valentines day so I called my future boss and asked if it was ok. He said okay, and we extended.

I got back the 15th, and got told he hired another person. Great, I had $150 in my bank account and that was it. Luckily, girlfriend paid for another hostel for a couple weeks, and I also got some money from parents, and got a job at a cinema late april, which is where i'm still working, it's pretty fun actually. Problem is, after tax i'm making around $13/hour, and im only working ~20-25 hours a week, which makes it pretty much impossible to just pay rent/food.

So that brings me to today. Have to pay rent on sunday, which will be $230. Have around $300 now, which leaves me with around $50. I'm not scheduled for work until the earliest thursday, which means i'll get paid for that on friday the 15th. I have to pay another weeks rent next sunday, which will be impossible. hopefully I can stay with someone from work for a couple days, will be a bit awkward to ask since I don't really know anyone that well but if they say yes it beats living on the streets/having to ask gf for more money again.

I also have to somehow get around $2600 for the marriage visa, I have around 3-4 weeks to do that. If I don't get it?

I'm going to be forced to leave the country august 11th, say bye to girlfriend and go back to sweden. Now, this is something i'm not going to let happen, I love australia and I have absolutely nothing in sweden that I feel that I need to go back to. So you could literally say that $~3000 for me would be life changing now.

So that brings me to the "I won't give up" plan

I've been reading here for a couple weeks now, bought a couple cpa-wso's and i'm going to start taking action asap. I feel the best thing for me at the moment to (hopefully) get some money for the visa quickly is andrew gotti's wso. seems to be working for quite a few people so i'll give it my all to get it to work, along with another similar cpa and possibly online if I have any money left after the offline-methods.

So, goal: make $3000 in one month online, no matter what it takes. I'll work as much as I can. I am so motivated it's ridiculous.

All I really wanted with this post is to make you say "good luck!" and encourage me to keep on trying lol.

So, warriors, encourage me! I don't want to hear it's impossible and that i'll be back in sweden in a couple weeks, I'll prove you wrong anyway if that's the case. Cheer on me, give me your success story of how you turned your life around etc. Tell me it's possible and to stick with it even if it gets hard sometimes, even though i'm really motived to get this to work, I need all the encouragement I can get.

Ok that will have to be it, don't know if anyone could bother reading anyway.

Let's start taking action!
