for someone in their late 30s or early 40s, can personal funding be a red flag?
In my case, my father is late, I have an aging mother, I have been working for more than 10 years in Telco Vendor companies, having a personal fund should fly, I have been trying to pursue my master's since I left school but no support, I need to hustle for the money to make the dream come true.
