If I could find a job that would pay 18-20 an hour starting out with benefits, I'd be happy as a clam for the time being.

    If anything? College taught me to live and survive on less. Aside from my firearms hobby, I've mostly lived within my means.

    Not a good idea to calculate the bare minimum needed to survive in Idaho and translate that into survivability in Colorado, especially Denver Metro. I wish you luck, but it still doesn't sound like you have a solid plan lined up.

    As harsh as this may sound, I would have never considered starting a family until I had a solid career underway with good benefits, which is why I was nearly 30 before having my first kid, and that was 8 years into my career. I cannot fathom trying to support my family as a career student. Again I wish you luck.

    It's not a luxury it's a choice, I've had no luxuries in life, only choices, some good and some bad, but at the end of the day, my family has been taken care of, and guess what, I have no education outside of a high school diploma.
