I have been with my boyfriend for more than 8 years, and I want to travel long distances together, either in Thailand or at home, but he keeps saying that he has no money.

Actually, it's not that you have no money, it's that you two have different consumption concepts.

He thinks the daily expenses are enough. It is not cost-effective to take out a large number to do what he thinks is not worth it.

I suggest you ask him to go when you have spare money after your economic independence. There is a conflict over the money for a trip. Eight years is not worth it. Travel is the best thing to test two people's feelings. If two people seem to support each other and think of each other during the trip, then it is very likely that you will get married, if not. When your problem is exposed, we can also plan ahead whether to separate or solve the problem.
