Balancing Gazelle Intensity and a Long-Distance Relationship

DAVE SAYS: Balancing Gazelle Intensity and a Long-Distance Relationship

Dear Dave,

I’m 25, and I work as a property manager making $65,000 a year. I’m in the middle of paying off my debts, but I’m struggling to stay intense about it. I’m in a long-distance relationship that forces me to spend a lot of money to see my boyfriend. He’s not working right now, and it’s been a while since his last job. That means I’m always spending extra on gas and other things to make the eight-hour, round-trip drive twice a month so we can spend time together. We’ve been together for almost two years, but I’m honestly beginning to wonder if it’s worth it. He doesn’t seem to mind not working, and that bothers me, too.

Naya
