[quote name='craven_fiend']As much as I shit on where I live, I truly hate living here, the cost of living is sustainable at $44k/yr. That's what we were making working as a factory worker (me) and a glorified CNA (my wife, while in school). With the right job, she'll make that on her own, so any contribution from me would be more than we're used to making. And, if all goes well and I get my degree in 3 years, or she gets her NP degree or becomes an adjunct after/if she goes back to school, we'll be good to go, as long as we get her loans paid off and mine reasonable (depend of a VA still kicks in until 120 credit hours, so loans pay bills). Hopefully I can get my head out of my ass in time to transfer and do well in accounting. But that's in a few years and my goal is to have a degree and my foot in the door with some accounting firm or a related field by the time my son (3 in October) starts Kindergarten.
The worst part of all of this, is I'm 26 and should realistically have had my degree for 3 or 4 years by now and be doing something with my life. But that's not the case and I despise my 18-20 year old self now. But the future is changeable, not the past.[/QUOTE]
I'll be 27 in 3 weeks. My life isn't going much of anywhere at this point. I've got Frosty and the dogs and that's about it.
