<prompt> Human: Hey everyone! Hopefully I put this question in the right subreddit. We had an accidental pregnancy and we have decided to keep the baby. My fiancé and I are wondering what to do for our financial future as a family. Hes 31 and Im 29. Im currently in the middle of an undergrad program , working on becoming a civil engineer. My fiancé is an automotive mechanic and the only income of the house but has always wanted to go to college to be a mechanical engineer. Now with the baby on this way, hes wondering if he should still go back to school. The problem is, both of us being in school would drain both our savings and wed pretty much just be struggling financially for the next 3-4 years. Were just not sure what to do: Struggle financially for the next few years with a new baby so we can both have college degrees and hopefully a brighter future, or one of us quits school to find a full time job to support the family, but that job probably wont pay very well. I guess its also scary because neither of us are that young anymore and it feels like well both be starting from scratch. Were just not sure if college is worth it at this point. Thoughts?  <response>: The responsible thing to do? He needs to keep being an auto mechanic with steady income until you graduate and can find your own job. Then its your turn to support him while he goes to school if thats still what he wants to do. Both of you in school at this point is going to do nothing but put you in massive debt and increase stress levels. Add a new baby to that stress and youre really probably looking at a very rough road.
