Ok, so i’m a 32 year old divorced father with a 3 yr old, joint custody with child support every month. I have a bachelors degree in biology with no current student loan debt or credit card debt, and around 1600 in medical bills. My car is paid off and I live with my girlfriend in a 600 a month apt.
I lost my 25k a year job recently and have been trying to find a better career all while my gf has kept me up. Nurse @65k a yr. with a champagne taste and beer wallet with over 25k in credit card debt and 4k in student loan debt. Her car is paid off as well and we have been living barely month to month on her income.
Goal? To be married to this girl, debt free and being able to save for both college and retirement.
The plan: (my education is too old for any PA program or master programs without having to go back and spend money on school) I recently got accepted into nursing school which starts in July of this year. This career is one that I know is short 2 years and one that can help the effort of getting on track. This particular school is expensive putting the needed loans at around 45k total trust me when I say its all that I could get into and at this point i’m running out of time.
I’ve never taken out a student loan and understand that with the inability to get financial aid due to having a bachelors i’ll have to do a personal loan (sallie mae) I recently got a 10hr full time job to help save some money to put towards some expenses coming up like (tires, brakes an engagement ring within reasonable limits) depending on my school schedule i’ll have to dump the job in around 3 months or keep it if I can do it and school.
Any advice to help while grinding out the two years ?
