Financial & FAMILY obligations? Should reconsider my college/future plans?

Getting out into the world and supporting yourself is the best thing for you. It will set you up in life, coz let me tell you life gets real hard and if you can rely on yourself your halfway there. If you stay with the parental unit you may miss this opportunity, settle for less and end up married with kids and never chasing a dream. Dreams are a lifeline if you dont chase it you will forever regret it and always wonder "what if."
