is it worth living by sacrificing my 20s for financial stability.

Dude - you are 18 and the amount of maturity you have shown in this post is already commendable. I always think there are two ways to look at life -

  1. Accept that you have been dealt a bad hand and work towards improving your situation
  2. Blame things not under your control and take comfort in your situation

You are already planning to do 1. In addition to JEE prep, I'd say start working out - at your age, testosterone is off the roof - you will be able to see muscle gains quickly. You will gain a lot of discipline and self confidence in the process. A good body and a sound mind with a passion for quantum physics, man you'd be unstoppable.
