Wow! There’s a ton of bad advice in here! I will tell you that running to a job may help you with expenses but it’s unlikely that you’ll find something to cover everything. So that’s the bad advice I’m talking about given you will work your butt off but be dependent on a job that doesn’t pay enough. However, if that’s what you need to do to start on your new journey then do it.
I would start building your resume and your profile based on what jobs you will target. You definitely need a solid financial plan. Cut your expenses as much as you possibly can and see what it will take for you just to live. Then start saving up money even if you have to start with $20 per day. Start a side hustle as well that you will use to fund living expenses and your self investments. You also need to start building an emergency fund.
Next, I believe that everyone should have more than one source of income. This means you’re earning money outside of a regular job (it doesn’t mean get multiple jobs). Start researching the skills you have that you could market. If you don’t have any then research skills that are desirable and ones that people will pay money for. Focus on one skill that you like and learn how to master that skill. Then promote your services, once you earn steady income then learn another skill that will get you paid.
If you do it correctly you will have the skills that will out pace anything that an employer would be willing to pay you. Keep building from there and learning more about how to set your money up to work for you. This way you will be placed in a great position no matter what happens.
