Pursuing degree or staying put for Financial Freedom?
I’m 22 years old, and I’m looking for some guidance on my future.. i am 100% in on investing in real estate and I’m saving my money right now. I have $6,000 cash saved so far and at my current job I’m making $20 an hour with no potential at any more raises. I’m so young and I have a fiancé and a 1 year old son that I want to pursue a degree in Software Engineering for a much better paying job and also something I’m more interested in. If I went back to school it would be a struggle because I would have to keep working to support my family, do the college work, and spend time with them. Luckily I’m moving to my mothers in July to cut the majority of my bills out. So my question is should I take the hit and pursue college or stay put with my current wage and save for a multi family house hack and build from there? What would you all do, or what is your experience? Thanks in advance! I’m looking forward to hearing your stories! :)
