I went back to school in my mid 30s. Information Technology. I was really worried about competing with younger fresh out of high school students. Turns out most of them didn't have a particular interest in I.T. and just chose it for reasons. I on the other hand had spent my time since high school as a computer nerd building test test labs and experimenting for fun.

I think the intent is to say I don't want to set a bad example for my children by giving up. The reality is you can set just as bad of an example by persevering when you shouldn't. "I know I've put my family through bankruptcy and lost our home but If I give up on my online psychic business and go back to work practicing law at the firm what will my children think?"

Even when we are proactive and prevent tragedy people don't understand the necessity. I remember a lot of people complaining about how Y2K was an overblown hoax despite the millions of dollars and years of work that went into Y2K mitigation. "All these millions spent on Y2K and it didn't even happen."
