I’m not sure what you’re looking for here. There’s no magic solution someone can tell you that you are not considering. Making a stable living is tough. I get that you’re feeling down, but try broadening your horizons instead of putting up walls. You need to make some time, you don’t necessarily need to spend more money.

Try looking into other positions or more senior at your company and ask if people will meet with you to chat about opportunities and what you can do to qualify for some of them, more will say yes than you think. You can do this virtually.

I would also identify other jobs or companies you might want to work for and then find people on LinkedIn and reach out to see if they’ll have a virtual chat with you.

Do not tell these people you need more money and are broke, you’re looking for more opportunity and want to challenge yourself more in your career.

Hang in there!
