I need help deciding (Mature Answers Only Please)18 & Older please?

Tough decision, and since only you know all the details of your life it's hard to advise but i will try my best.

It seems to me the subject of school is very important to youso i really feel that whatever your final decision here you need to make sure that you and your husband are on the same page; you ARE going back to school, the only question is when. IF you decide to wait until he's finished then you need to make sure you're making the initial steps towards your enrollment when he's finished.

Have both partners at school can be tough and it can put a real strain on your relationship in time, energy and finances, both the extra costs and one less salary. I'm sure you've thought about that and ultimately , i think that should be the decider. If you go back to school now you have to accept that the next 2 years will be really tough, financially and also on your marriage. IF you do this m,ake sure you really talk about it together and make sure that you're both prepared to make a few sacrifices in order to make time for each other.

On the other hand you have goals in life, opening your own business is a great dream and you should definitle push hard towards it but maybe there is value in building up your financial resources for the next two year, then going abck tyourself, then when you're done you may be in a stronger place to move forward.

Normalluy i'm the sort of person who'll say 'do it', 'go for it' but i wonder if now is the time to be a little patient. .

I would say don't quit your job yet, focus on preparation for your return to school and concentrate on saving as much as posssible (maybe a 2 year CD would be a good idea).

don't see this as a time of waiting, but rather an opportunity to actively prepare for your future so that when your husband is done, he can bear the burden of earning while youreturn to school and when you've finished you'll be better set up[ to dive into your business.

just my thoughts, whtever you decide, good luck and best wishes

I think you should work. The school isn't going anywhere. If you need to work then work, make money, and when it's time for you to enroll you will be financially secure, and that's especially important if you plan to start a business. I know it's exciting to fulfill you dream once you have a clear plan on how to make it happen, but you don't want to be struggling financially and going to school. It's too stressful.

You are in the same boat as me. I have to work to pay the bills but want to go to school and do not have the time to sit in a classroom setting. I am attending the University of Phonenix Online. It s a fully accredited school so my degree will be good anywhere and I can do the work load when I have time. Its great.

Apparently, if I understand correctly, your husband is currently going to school? Is he working as well? I think you should realistically look at your finances and start from there in deciding your education. Sure, you could acquire student loans but you have to be careful about gaining too much debt. Have you thought about "on-line" classes??? That might be a happy medium. At least it will get you started!

I would say evaluate it from a financial perspective. I would definitely not go into debt to go to school now if you can go to school in a year or two with the money that your husband makes. If you have the money for your tuition and can afford to quit your job to go...then I would go now. That way in a year or two you both will be making money with no debt and can build your wealth together.

what about taking a course a semester? is that an option for you?

there was a lady at my last job that was working on her masters degree in physics while working full-time AND planning her wedding, buying a house & somehow didn't lose her mind! it can be done...she was taking courses through University of Phoenix online...is it possible to get your degree that way?

can you go to school in the evenings? i have been taking a couple classes on saturday and during the week , there is some sacrifice but you can do it if you want
