Do I keep my baby?

Need Advice

Hi. Context: I'm 17, 18 this November. I receive my CNA certification november as well. This program will immediately assist me to be placed into the workforce. As of right now, I don't have a job. I graduate with my diploma in May; but I am in a dual enrollment program at a college so I can go online if needed. My partner and I have known each other since we were kids. We both want this. But we're realistic. He is done with school, but not yet working either. He has several opportunities lined up including electric work, manufacturing blah blah blah.. He can't start until he's 18, in December. I'd be expected to deliver early February. I'm in temporary housing with my parents/siblings but in a better place than we started. I KNOW we'd be amazing. It took a year to get pregnant, and I can't shake that it must be a blessing. I've had so much loss. My partner and I both are forced to play a waiting game situationally... (financially, blah blah blah.) "Your life will be over" "You will be nothing" i'm hardly 20. I have my whole life to live. i'm mature mentally, i'm not missing out on any "party life" I've partied enough, and can always party again in a couple years.🙄 i'm torn over this, me and my partner have good morals, budget plans, and expectations and would LOVE to keep our baby!! Should we???
