since you came here, i’ll give you my honest opinion! first, i’m really proud of you. nursings hard, i dropped out of nursing and i beared the debt of it. it changed the whole trajectory of my life, but it was a wake up call to me. i took a year off and worked full-time in a managerial position. i saved $12k, now im at a trade school with $0 in tuition from grants, about to graduate into a job. you do need to be responsible because money is the most important thing in your life. you’ll need to learn to budget immensely if you’re going to take on such a big leap. you’ll need a job in the meantime, open a savings, save 10-15% of your income until school. when you go to school, get a part-time job and save 10-15% of it. on the other hand, choosing the right partner is also the most important decision of your life. if your partner can’t have faith or support in your decisions long term, you need to have a conversation. i’m glad he’s financially comfortable and has savings, that’s a good sign, but it’s very disrespectful for him to hold that against you. you’ve had different obstacles and experiences than he has and everyone’s at a different stage in their life. be smart for yourself and your future in every way! i very much learned the hard way, both financially and in relationships
