This is my first ever post. I just wondered if anyone (probably people with older kids) has any advice on what would be a good time to go back to studying something new, in terms of childrens ages.
My son starts school this September and my daughter is only 18months. I work part time and partner works full time and even though we're lucky to have grandparents help out once a week the childcare costs are still crippling us.
I found a love for something that I would love to study properly, so I suppose the question is do I get a loan and do it now (like when son starts at school so that at least there's a bit less childcare) as we're already broke so may as well be a bit more broke.. or is there a time where people have found that financially (and time wise!) things get a bit better, like when both children are at school maybe?
Some people have advised me to bite the bullet and just do it now but I'm a bit nervous- I suppose I also have in my head that things just seem tough/unpredictable in general in the economy etc and this is a bit of a pipe dream so maybe I should just hold on a bit and see how things go (but then would I ever do it etc etc)
Anyway, any advice or thoughts much appreciated
