I'm sure you're tired of getting advice from random people but I have been where you are and have a few ideas for you..

Any way possible start getting multiple streams of income coming in, not just one job. If possible don't have a job at all, just figure out how to use your numerous skills to provide value for someone else that will happily pay you.

Start small doing things that don't require a lot of up front cost. For me that was landscaping and handyman work. Give your cards to a place that sells things to that clientele and figure out what the bigger companies aren't willing to do for them.

For me that was planting one tree- the bigger companies want bigger jobs for their crews- as a result they always pass on those jobs. So people constantly call me to plant one tree, which I happily do- I do a bunch in a day and retain probably 50% of those clients for bigger future projects.

Also consider working with local farms and ranches- I've done sales at the farmers market for a few farms near me for money and barter for high quality food for the family. Plus you get to network and meet great people who may be interested in your other hustles

The biggest thing is getting clear on what you actually want your life to look like and focus on that. Think about that all day if necessary. Like you've already said, be thankful for the things you have and you'll notice those things and more will all grow.

I could say a lot more but I'll leave it at that.

Wish you well man!
