22M Nurse from India - Confused about family debt, future abroad, and life decisions

I’m a 25-year-old male from India and the elder son in my family.

I come from a poor background. My father does not have a stable job and my younger brother is still studying. I am currently working as a nurse and planning to move to Germany next year for better career opportunities.

I’m really excited about my future in nursing and I want to build a stable life. But at the same time, my family is under financial stress. We currently have around ₹6 lakh debt, and most of the responsibility is falling on me.

I feel a lot of pressure because I want to support my family, take care of my brother’s education, and also build my own life from scratch.

We also have a beautiful home in India, and I’m emotionally attached to it. I’m confused about long-term decisions like whether I should eventually settle abroad or return back to India after working for some years.

Another thing I think about is my personal life. I also wonder how people manage relationships or find a partner while working abroad and carrying family responsibilities.

Right now I feel stuck between responsibility, career growth, and personal life. I don’t want to make emotional decisions, but I also don’t want to fail my family.

I would really appreciate honest advice:

How should I manage family debt while starting my career abroad?

Should I plan to settle abroad or eventually return to India?

How do people balance family responsibility, savings, and building their own life (including relationships/partner) in situations like this?
