Yes, I do have a full-time job, and I even enjoy it, but it doesn’t pay enough to survive in this hellscape of a world we live in. I lack the college degree required to get almost any decent-paying job (plus my last job hunt took MONTHS to get a lead), I don’t have the skills or originality to become an online content creator, nor the artistry or patience to create and sell trinkets on Etsy (plus, that would require an initial investment which I simply do not have). Should I set up a GoFundMe? OnlyFans? I wouldn’t really be offering anything except a charity basket/collection plate so that feels dishonest at best. Idk, I’m quite literally having a breakdown because I’m probably going to lose my car soon, and then my job, and then my apartment, and then my life. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you

    What are you interested in? You can go on YT and just talk about or do that. All you really need besides whatever props is your phone and a phone clip/tripod, which can be found cheaply on Craigslist or thrift store, maybe. I remember once a poor woman just blogging on Google blogs started getting a significant amount of donations just writing about her daily struggles. I don’t remember her name, sorry.

    Can you pick up side hustles cleaning homes or cars or anything? Watering plants? Pet-sitting?

    I’m sorry it’s like this, and hope you can pull through. The other two comments also make sense, I just didn’t know if any of our suggestions are sensible for you, personally. Wishing you the best.
