  • You will. I went through it with both parents. I burned my 20s looking after my dad until he passed just like you’re doing. Then burned the first half of my 30s looking after my mom.

    Inb4 - My choice on both counts. And I don’t regret it. But because of it I sort of failed to launch. Never got a chance to be young. That part I do regret. Never went to college. Never dated. Don’t even make $15/hr now and I’m almost 40. Been on my own for about 4 years now. I’m keeping the bills paid. But that’s about it.

    Said all that to say this, finish that Bachelor’s. Don’t you dare let anything get in the way of that. I’m only making it cuz I’m not opposed to eating ramen for years at a time. Bills eat up all the rest of my money. Economy is fucked beyond fucked. That degree may not help you much or it may be a godsend. But it’s far better to have that than just a HS diploma like I have.
