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

    If you can’t make more money, cut expenses instead. Start by swapping your car for a bike and your apartment for a shared living situation. Go vegetarian, too: meat is expensive.

      Vegetarian can be cheaper, but isn’t a guarantee. If you are eating processed foods like single serving meals, the vegetarian options are often more expensive for the same quality.

      Cooking yourself, from scratch, would save a lot more money. Plus it actually is cheaper to use veggies.
