2 sentences that probably need improving

Dear Users,

Could you please tell me if these two sentences sound native-like to you? Are they natural enough?I think they need some improving.

I will have to go back to school, which is going to be a major expense and a career gap.

I don't think there's a connection between a major expense and a career gap. Does major modify both nouns?

It's time for me to finally settle down somewhere and live a more stable (and healthier) life.

Here the problem is that the comparative form of /stable/ requires adding /more/ whereas /healthy/ needs to be changed into its comparative form... Can these two be put together next to each other? 

Thanks
