<prompt> Human: I just married my childhood best friend. I found her in the bedroom last night crying. We both want children but she rightfully feels that we cant afford children. Ive told her that nobody is ever financially ready for children, but the problem is that we pretty much live paycheck to paycheck. Shes a teacher and I work security, Ive worked at the same company for 2 years and just recently asked for a raise, Im hoping to get 15 hr currently I get 12, but I keep getting blown off by the owners. I havent gotten a raise or review in the 2 years Ive been there.If I do get a raise itll be at most a dollar. Weve been together so long and theres no doubt that we can make it through being broke, but not being able to move on with our lives and start a family has put massive stress on our relationship. I also dont have health insurance so Ive been off my anti depressants and this stress...Im lost, I feel hopeless and depressed, and I dont know what to do.Assistant: Congrats, you are facing the number one cause of trouble in young couples. Money! Dont jump in and have a kid until you are financially ready... I was a child of a poor family Things got better, and there are a lot of weeks where dinner was ramen or mac n cheese, all week. Itd be better for you to try finding a better career. Im sure your wife made up her mind, but you can take classes for a program, focused towards police work, nursing, allied health many of those careers will offer to pay back student loans or kick backs.Actually, in a lot of areas police dont require and education beyond HS, its just extremely helpful. So, depending on the demand, you could get into a citystate ran police program.Human: Im attending school for my bachelors next semester. Ill be going for English creative writing and history. After that Ill be going to law school, if I can afford it. I have been wanting to get into police work, Im just not at the right fitness level for it to be immediately plausible.  <response>: Get a degree that is useful. Always have a backup plan. If you dont make it to law school because of time, money, etc, you want to be able to fallback on your bachelors degree.Creative writing... Wont put food on your table. Except beans and rice. And ramen. You would do better getting an IT degree, or criminal justice if you want to continue the security routepolice. Just be sure to get something with good job prospects, w.e it is. It doesnt have to pay a bunch, but it needs to provide for your needs.
