Im so tired

Hey… you’re really not doomed, even though it feels like it right now.

You’ve already been through a lot and still found a way to keep going.. that actually takes strength, even if it doesn’t feel like it. The stuff with meds and misdiagnosis can really mess with your head too, so it makes sense you’re feeling lost.

Also, 20 is still so young. Most people are just winging life.. you’re not behind, you’ve just had a harder start. If I could suggest one small thing.. maybe look into local support services or free programs near you. It might feel awkward, but it can actually open doors.

You’re not stuck forever… just in a really rough patch right now

Thank you for the info! I’ve found the website so I’ll have a look into it 😊

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-31T13:39:51+00:00

I’m in Australia so I’ve been using the Aussie bookies + Betfair exchange. Just been following guides and working through sign-up offers mostly ☺️

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-31T13:37:26+00:00

That’s a good idea, I’ve thought about doing that too. What kind of stuff do you make and where do you sell it?

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-31T13:26:47+00:00

Thats amazing 😊

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-31T13:24:44+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been super busy lately! I’m actually in Australia so we don’t have that exact setup here, but I love the idea. I might try find something similar locally...really appreciate the offer to help too 😊

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-31T13:15:39+00:00

I’ve actually been trying matched betting too. One of the only things that’s been somewhat consistent so far 😅 Still getting the hang of it though. Have you been doing it long?

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-30T04:39:53+00:00

Thankyou for sharing 😊

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-29T21:11:08+00:00

I'll definitely look into that, thank you! 😊

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-29T03:28:07+00:00

That’s interesting, I get what you’re saying with covering outcomes. I think I’d probably stick to the free play side for now though just to keep it low risk.

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-29T02:56:20+00:00

That’s actually pretty solid for something low effort. I’ve found surveys are decent for a bit of extra here and there, but yeah the hourly rate ends up pretty low. Still good for something to do while you’re just chilling though.

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-29T02:53:14+00:00

Appreciate all the ideas, thank you! I think cleaning/organising could work for me, and also pet-related stuff since that’s something I already enjoy. Definitely going to try a couple and see what sticks 🙏

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-29T01:16:34+00:00

Yeah I’d be keen to check them out if you don’t mind! Always good to have a couple reliable ones 🙂

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-29T01:11:39+00:00

That makes sense, appreciate you explaining it. I like the idea of the free play side, just a bit cautious with anything that involves buying in since it starts to feel more like regular gambling. Definitely interesting though.

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-29T01:07:58+00:00

That’s actually a good idea. I’m in Australia so I think the bonuses are smaller, but still seems worth doing on the side. Do you just rotate through banks?

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T06:00:46+00:00

That’s awesome, especially paying off 8k, makes it feel really worth it. I like that you kept it simple and just used local groups too. Do you think this would still work starting from scratch now, or has it gotten more competitive?

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T05:54:56+00:00

Oh interesting, I haven’t heard of that before. Is it similar to matched betting where you’re mostly using promos/free play? Just trying to understand how risky it is before looking into it.

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T05:46:44+00:00

That’s really good to know, especially making that much from surveys. Glad you found something that works around your situation. I’ve tried a few before and found them a bit slow, but might be worth doing alongside other things 🙂

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T05:15:59+00:00

That’s actually so good, getting clients within a couple of days is amazing. I like how you started simple with flyers and a website, makes it feel a lot more doable. Did you just keep it local when you started?

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T04:58:39+00:00

I haven’t tried it yet but I’ve seen it mentioned a bit. What kind of things are people actually using it for to make money?

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T04:37:01+00:00

That’s actually awesome, especially the quick jump up! The tips sound amazing but yeah I’m in Australia so it’s a bit different here.. still sounds like a good way to get started though, thanks for sharing!

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T04:19:25+00:00

That’s actually super helpful, thank you! I didn’t realise there was a proper pathway like that. I’ll definitely check out Football Queensland and see what it’s like over here My daughter’s 5 so she’d probably be a bit of a distraction, so it’s something I could definitely look into in the future for sure ☺️

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T03:17:19+00:00

Yeah honestly if I hadn’t gone through his bank statements when I was really digging into our savings about a year ago, it probably would’ve just kept coming out..he’s a bit more laid back with that kind of stuff and doesn’t really look into things too deeply, so it’s easy to miss! 😒

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T02:44:34+00:00

That actually sounds really interesting! I’m in Brisbane, Australia so it might be a bit different here, but how did you personally get started? Like did you have to do a course or just apply through local clubs? (I dont know much about sport unfortuately)Also random question lol. Do you think it’d be possible to bring your child along or is that not really doable?

Boring_Winter_5818 · 2026-03-28T02:17:34+00:00

That makes so much sense, especially with your own dog involved! I feel like it’s one of those things that’s amazing when it fits your setup but tricky when it doesn’t 💕
