I haven't read "The Secret," but am a little bit familiar with the message. I don't think you should take those things as signs about your career choice necessarily. If the items are unable to be fixed, maybe you can either find secondhand or refurbished items to replace them or most big box stores have deals on dented or "unpretty" items. I know Bed, Bath, and Beyond carries Keurigs and you could use a 20% off coupon on that to save a little bit on it.
If you are making this decision to go back to school to benefit yourself and your family in the future, then I would still say go for it - it will pay off!
As far as Christmas goes, you could maybe do one gift per person to save or get crafty and make some great gifts for people (hello, Pinterest!). Good luck!
