But to be fair, and this won&#x27;t be a popular comment, but I&#x27;m asking honestly, why did you take on a non working partner and child fresh out of college? You evidently have great character to overcome, and I don&#x27;t know the UK system, but these would be impossible burdens for most middle class Americans before the age of at least 25, and likely put long term if not permanent damping factors on their career growth to be able to get to where you are now.
