Could you check this in red?

In five years' time, I will have left school. I will have done a computing course and I will have found a job in IT. Maybe I will be earning a lot of money in my job. If I am, I will be driving an expensive car! I will not be living with my parents. Perhaps I will be sharing a flat with some friends. I hope that I will have gone with the same girlfriend - but we won't have got married yet.' Joel.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks CalifJim for your advice.

I have made a mistake. It should be

I hope that I will be going out with the same girlfriend - but we won't have got married yet

Is this now correct?
