You picked a life of poor earning potential if you couldn't afford a high maintenance one at 25, poor quality. Should be a multimillionaire by now, no self-respecting gold digger will have you.

Dad told me to become a lawyer.
Mom told me to marry a rich girl.

I should have listened to one of them.

Rebellion does tend to bite you in the ass.

That said, my mother was heavily pushing me to marry the Italian, so obedience does also seem to have massive drawbacks.

Home birds are home birds. I love travelling myself, 4 of 6 continents visited so far (I'll give Antarctica a pass), but you don't have to go very far for things to get alien, I get it. Spain is very different from France is very different from Belgium is very different from The Netherlands.

It's all about the landscape, climate, culture and a variety of peculiarities. Once you''ve got a firm hold of those, everything else should not be a problem.
