<prompt> Human: Hey Reddit, Ive been on this website multiple times, front page brings me joy when Im feeling blue, but as of posting... this would be my first time.Anyhow.. Im a male gamer and I met my girlfriend online playing games.Weve been together for about 4 years and I could not be happier.Ive given my heart to many women in my life, but nothing compared to this girl.I wouldnt give up on this relationship even if I was forced too, and neither would she.The thing is, my girlfriend lives in Germany and I live in the USA. We visit each other for the summer for about 1-2 months out of the whole year and thats all we ever see of each other.It gets to a point where, some days are stressful and some nights are lonely. What better cure is there than to spend it with your other half to help you get through those days.Currently, I am aiming for a Resident Working Permit so I can be closer to her and her family in Germany. One of the requirements for a permit is to have at least 8,000 Euros which is about 9,000 USD .They require you to have 8,000 Euros so they know you can make it on your own for at least a year and wont end up another homeless man on their streets.I only work part time at a retail store and saving up 9,000 by myself would take me forever!I would ask my girlfriend but, she has too much on her plate already. Work, School. Shes barely making it by on her own.Are there any ideas you guys can give me so that I might be able to reach my goal quicker?Are there any Fundraisers I might be able to do? Bake sales, Car Wash, etc.Thanks Reddit, Appreciate the feedback.Oh btw. If I get a Resident Permit. I am going to propose :.  <response>: You need an end game. Your current goal gets you to Germany but you need a job that can sustain you over there.
