Thank you for the response. That degree could help you much more than anything I have.
I'm not set on living in Chicago but I'm in such a tight spot right now that I don't even know if I can afford to move. It's that bad.
I'm happy for you that you at least have someone. I mean I'm definitely not ready for any kind of relationship but I don't even know how I can be in 5 years before I'm 40, I'm not going to be able to accrue a lot of wealth. This is a huge rebuilding project I'm going to have to go through. I'm going to be at least that age before I can even think about a relationship, and at that point kids are likely out of the question.
I just don't know how I screwed it all up so badly.
