Do you think you'd be happier sitting at home with no money?

This is not a facetious question, it's genuinely the thing you have to consider.

I've considered it. But some weeks I don't even get shifts, so I don't get paid regardless. Other weeks I get a very poor pay check due to very minimal hours; so poor, that there's no possible way I could have my own place and afford to live in it.

@ChasingBrainBros: Work in retail. No idea what I want to do, maybe that's half the problem. The ideas I do have, if any, require study. But I can't afford to pay for study, and can't study without also earning money.

Student loans.... my college paid my tuition with grants and scholarships and I only took out a small loan to help pay my rent for a house w/friends for the school year. Seriously the best decision I've made. My family was really toxic. @maybesomeday:
