Peace.
If it all goes to pot just go bankrupt, OR bail after you get your first degree and have a good career as a neuroscientist or something, not necessarily a doctor/consultant but a researcher. Lots of options for you and you dont have to go all the way through all ten years. Decide as you go. Dont be a slave to boring mediocre work if you have such potential.
I am starting adult nursing and I’m 22, but it will only take 2.5 years so not quite as long.
At 26 it is somewhat old to start trying to get into med school. Have you ever considered pharmacy?
There are many advantages to it such as:
1) Less time to finish
2) 75-150K is the starting salary depending on location
3) most jobs are 9-5
4) You get to start a family sooner
5) You are still involved in a patient’s life

Someone has to be a neurologist, so why not you? I say, go for it. Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for Humanity.
I know people who have not gone to grad school until their late 40’s. One started Pharmacy School when he was 48.
Chase your dreams. Otherwise you will regret not doing it
Good Luck!
