It will improve your life and give you much better living conditions no matter what happens

When it comes to a PhD it might actually hurt OP's chances, since having a PhD usually locks people out of "lower skilled" jobs. If OP is OK with the kind of jobs he can get by getting a PhD, or wants to stay in Academia, all power to him, but he must know some non-PhD jobs might be out of reach afterwards.
