isit a bad decision to sell yout house to send your child abroad for school?
told my parents i got an offer overseas, and they told me that they'll figure a way to send me, worse comes to worse the sell the place. this would allow me to secure a steadier career than the intended degree id be getting in private uni.
im their only child and im forever grateful to them. i told them thats its okay if we cant afford, i just wanted to let them know that i got an offer.
we live in a paid off 5 room in amk, right next to a newly opened activesg, within or less than 2km to 3 different mrt stations. our place can go for $940k-$1m, and sending me overseas would costs abt $290-$300k total. i dont want my parents to let go of their housing for the sake of my education. kinda wish i didnt tell them about the offer...
edit: its a degree in allied health. its definitely not some high paying career, but its path i want to go down. they are supportive in whatever i do, however, i wont let my parents let go of our housing for the sake of my education. its not worth it. i can always settle in another career. my parents are in their late 60s and early 50s. they have a retirement home in Philippines as that's where my mom is from. if i have the chance to go, id defo be applying for scholaships.
we have yet to have a proper conversation about as i have only told them abt it yesterday.
