How do I make enough money to live? (lemmy.world)

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

A personal friend of mine is also about to go homeless, in the uk. I live in another country and feel hopeles. Worst part is, the debt. Even if he would get a well paying job his debt will follow him for the rest of his life. Kinda same for my study debts i suppose. But main advice i can give you is, under no circumstances take on (more) debt.

also, this might be intersting as a "fuck this place i'm outta here": auroville. personally i want to go first on holidays to check it out but i haven't taken any days off since, so the comment section can maybe tell something about it.

last thing, some dude here said, if you need your car 4 work, then it might be better to lose the appartment than the car, def agree with that.
