We're struggling to make ends meet, should I go back to school?

If you aren't married yet now is the best time to go back to school, especially if you have no new babies and your kids will be occupied with the same thing. Financial Aid is very abundant for "single" women and as soon as you make things official all that extra help becomes very limited and more competitive. So take advantage now while you can. Sometimes some scholarships and funding even help pay for other things like housing or living expenses. Take full advantage of ALL government help like WIC and Welfare.I know people have a negative perception but honestly these things are such a gift if you can qualify. It eases the burden that money worries can carry.

But do go back to school if you can. Life is to short to pass up opportunities like that and if your given the opportunity you should take it. With the economy in a down turn its important to gear yourself the best you can for jobs. Don't let fear control you because then you pass up opportunities to not only make your life better but make your life more enjoyable. Good luck with these decisions.
