"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

That's great that you have a supportive family. But when it comes to what you're trying to do, you need to focus on #1 first. Let the security you can lavish on the family a few years from now be a positive by-product of making sure you're doing what's in your best interest first. You don't have to be a selfish prick, but do what you can to keep anyone else's problems become your problems and vice versa.
