I have fears as well, but I do my best not to let them take over me as a whole just so I can function well enough everyday to be there for my kids. Every single day I worry about providing for them, and at times when I know the money isn't enough, I have sleepless nights and I spend the hours contemplating what to do in order to earn more.

I am the oldest 23-year-old person I know, not physically, but with my sort of lifestyle, responsibilities and problems I can really tell you that I am.
