Opinion about my life situation?


Okay, I just turned 21. I recently finished my third year at the university I was attending. My parents were out of work for some time, (because I attended a decently expensive college) most of my tuition was paid with student loans. This past semester I could not register for the following semester because we still owed money to the school(a couple thousand my parents do not have). My brothers attend a private high school. One almost could not graduate because they were months behind on tuition. The other has no idea what his grades were, and only knows he passed because he received information for next year. I myself am over 71k in student loan debt. My parents applied for mortgage assistance. Our cell phones have not had service for at least six months now. I was offered a free place to live with a person close to me, so I withdrew from my university in order to work to pay off the large amount of debt I owe. My mother set up most of the loans and did not tell me anything about them. I only recently discovered a 20k loan is in default, and she still says nothing. I intend to move out and mostly work and find a way to take a class here and there as I feel the responsible thing is to work on my debt. Everyone has doubts about what I'm doing and they don't seem to grasp the reality that we can not afford another year of college at this point.
