So I’ve had it pretty good over the years. I’ve lived here and there for school and work but right now I live at home with my parents. I haven’t really had to pay attention to money for a while. My life kinda fell apart during covid and my ability to maintain money has reduced dramatically.

I’m bleeding cash rn despite my advantages. I walk dogs for maybe 30-40 hrs a week. It does not pay whatever bills I have, and it does not pay for independent living (I live with my parents in a high cost of living area).

At this point I’d be good with anything except retail and gig work. I can to back to school/trade school to learn a specific skill. Personally, I hate all work. I’m looking at plumbing as a possibility.

I’m depressed and just opening a job board fills me with more dread and despair than anything I have ever experienced. This has always happened to me. (30yo).

Any suggestions? I don’t need an extravant life. I just want to pay the bills without worrying about the next bill. My plan is to move somewhere cheaper, but also a state that isn’t shit. Maybe Maine? Or Chicago IL.
