I understand he doesn't Need it. But for teach America he needs a car and that's just not happening. It's not that expensive to get your PhD if done right so I have no idea why that would be a bad thing to do. It pays better, you're more educated, I don't see a downside other than 3 years it takes after the masters which is he gets this job ( or any job) he'll be able to complete by end of December. He's not going after administration now but it is in his long term plans.
This is realistic and reasonable. If it doesn't happen then fine. But for our goals, for Victoria, this needs to happen and fast. We can't/won't be able to live like this as we have a major deficit each month. We owe thousands of dollars to family and friends and it only getting worse. Our gas is about to be shut off. My parents already take care of my two sisters and they're in there mid 70s we need to step up and care for all of them in the next 5 years plus ourselves and Victoria. We have 5 years to get it together and we will. I'm not being unreasonable you have no ideas the mountains we have moved and this is just that a mountain to be moved. We need jobs for 2 years to get a home loan to leave section 8 and support Victoria in her endeavors. So 5 years off everything and graduate Fss. We need $2,500 for him to finish his degree. We need $1,200 for me to finish my BS degree. I'm not concerned about his plans as much as mine.
He's proven time and time again he can do this but it's not just on him. I lose SSI EBT we can always get back. But cash benefits aren't as easy to get back. When we move that's it for cash benefits. We have to support 5 house holds in one way or another. And you can't do that while struggling.
We will be able to do this. We have what we need to succeed. I'm less worried about mental health medications then the 5 medications that keep his heart going. He just got approval to see his heart Dr in a year. We can do this. I've done this with other people before. Ones a teacher, ones a manager at a job center, one is going after his MD, one is an activity director. Then there's Victoria who can make 100k out the gate but mental health got in the way. Now she's grown it's our time and we can do it.
