You need to ask yourself just how badly you want this and just what you're willing to give up in order to get it. Sometimes we have to give up something good in order to get something great.

There isn't a whole lot I can sacrifice. The only extra expenses I have are the cell phone and internet. The cost of those items will have little impact on my ability to afford to change jobs or go to school. I really meant it when I said I've already made cuts in my expenses.

I am married and have two kids. My wife works part time. We did some calculations and determined that if she were to work full time, we would be putting everything she earns directly towards child care. What she earns also goes towards expenses.

My dad died a few years ago and my mom doesn't make enough money to put me through school and pay her bills (or support me). She also doesn't have a big enough condo for her and my family.
