$0 saving at 27

Advice

Im 24 and turn 25 this yr. I’m an international student in Canada majoring in accounting. I just completed diploma accounting and go to advanced diploma for 1 yr and bachelor degree for another 1 yr. Because of my family situation, Ive been paying all tuition fee or cost of living and everything out of my pocket (plz don’t tell me it’s not worth or waste of money..). I saved a lot of money to be able to live in Canada when I was in Japan. But my initial plan was i get a full time job after diploma. However, things change after getting a co-op as an accountant assistant. Long story short, I rlly wanna become Canada CPA in the future. But I need degree for that. By the time I graduate (I’ll be 27), I literally don’t saving like $0 no kidding. I need financial aid from my parents (not sure if they can help me). Is my path realistic or is it a dumb decision?
