<prompt> Human: Hello,Im 22 years old and I currently live in the Los Angeles area.About 2.5 years ago my dad suddenly passed away and I stepped into his business Trucking to keep it running. The first year I was in I broke even because I messed up a lot of stuff at the beginning resulting in unnecessary expenses which could have been easily avoided if I knew what I was doing. The second year I experienced a loss 30k because of a workers comp claim and mechanical issues with every single truck I owned. This year in January I told myself that if I didnt profit I wanted to just sell everything and move on with my life and do something else. Here we are...I want to go back to school but Im not entirely sure how I could manage it moneywise. Im currently handling a mortgage plus paying for my 93-year-old grandmothers care. On top of all of that, I also pay for my sisters health insurance, phone, and car insurance. Here are my monthly expensesEDIT: Moved everything into two columns instead of four and separated incomeexpenses from each other.I feel so overwhelmed and I dont know what to do. Do I rent out the house Im currently in? Zillow says rent average is 3k in my neighborhood Sell it? If its sold the money goes to my grandmother because its in her name We bought it about 6 years ago and the price has gone up 200k on it. Were in a good neighborhood with a great school district that a lot of people want to get into. There is 290k left on the mortgage 3.75. Each month 612 goes towards the principal, 915 towards interest, and 511 towards taxesinsurance.After selling everything off from the business and shutting it down I think Ill be left with 100-150k that has to be split evenly between my sister and I since we are both shareholders. We have an emergency fund of 40k and my grandmother has a savings account with 100k in it. I also have two other cars I can sell worth around 12k for both.I have no idea what direction to go and whether or not Id be able to sustain on my own. School is definitely my best choice but Id have to find somewhere else to live if I did choose to sellrent my house and move in somewhere else. Ive spoken with a friend of mine and he said hes willing to rent a room to me for 850 with all utilities included so thats a start. Id still have 2k in expenses a month though and working full time at minimum wage 10.50 per hour would give me 420 per week before taxes. Thats only if I could find a job. Id still have to manage school and get that done with and I feel like working full time and managing school will be very difficult. I dont want to get stuck working a minimum wage job for the rest of my life.TLDR; Business isnt profitable. I have a lot of monthly expenses and want to go back to school but dont know how I can manage it.Assistant: You have WAY too many responsibilities for your age and experience level. Walking away from this with some money in your pocket and pursuing a college degree or skill would be your best option imo.1 Sell everything: business, house, extra cars. Split what you need to with your sister and grandma.2 Grandmas account pays for her care. It was noble of your Dad to try to pay for your grandma, but not something you are obliged to carry on. If you sell the house her savings account, she should have 300k to live on. Keep 1 years living expenses worth in cash and put the rest in something real conservative, like bonds. Withdraw the next years worth as needed. You should have enough to get her to 100. If she lives much beyond that, figure it out when you get there.3 As for you GTFO of LA. Its no place for broke people. If you had like 90k, I would think you could survive a few years in a much lower cost of living area of the country. Move somewhere cheap and start taking community college classes and go to a cheap state school. Graduate and start your life with minimal debt. Or move somewhere cheap and get into a trade. Or do 4 years in navy or air force and get GI Bill. You have tons of options. All of these obligations you have were thrust on you when your dad died. Im sorry you are in that situation, but you will need to decide what you are going to do with your life. It seems like you are trying to keep everything going like he did, which isnt really what you want.Human: I really dont want to sell the house. Its something my sister or I can come back to in 5-10 years when our lives are actually stable. The market is good and I feel like its going to continue going up. I think renting is the best choice in this scenario.I dont know where Id go if I moved away from LA. Im not actually in LA Im about 30 minutes south of it but everything around here costs quite a bit. As I mentioned in other comments I can move in with a friend for 850 a month which would include all utilities. I think thats a decent price. Id be able to go to school and put everything behind me and get a degree. Im currently enrolled in the local community college and Im taking 2 classes right now. Im a little over halfway to moving on to a 4-year university.  <response>: Definitely dont sell the house. Its gonna go up in price. Rent it out
