Yoo I suggest searching through the personal finance sub for related posts just to get a financial perspective. Because if you really do commit to coming back to the states, it would be good to have some sort of gameplan (whether that be sticking with college, trade school, etc and how to fund that)

I think you may be comparing yourself too much to your peers and bro, everyone moves at their own pace and takes different paths to get there. When you discuss with your family, maybe you could find out when his tour will be over and it might make moving back a bit smoother if that’s what you decide.
