Help; I'm trapped & can't get out

OK, so that's an overstatement, but not far from the truth.



My best friend(since 5th grade) is finally getting married in late Feb. I can't afford to go, but just in case, I looked up airfares. Ft Wayne International Airport has almost no direct flights, unless you're going to Chi, Det, Cin or DFW. I usually don't even bother to look, but what the hell.


FWA-LAX r/t $580.

Just 2hrs south of here is Indianapolis International-the same flight is $161.

The payscale is crappy here, there is nothing of interest(save a few amusing SUMMER festivals), there is no culture & the streets are bad, but this is ridiculous.
It seems they don't want anyone leaving..........

Maybe you should sue the town for cruel and unusual punishment.

Or move to sunny Atlanta

That's nothing. Back in 88' when I stationed Germany, my best friend since childhood got hitched. Would have cost me a cool 1500 to fly back to see that. Too rich for my blood.

Yea, Posty, that's a lot, but not like you could have driven from Frankfurt to Munich & saved $1100. If I were to drive to Indy(and I would) I would profit over $80. per hour, when you figure gas, parking & time. I could use that in real life
