I want money for some reason, not sure why but i just do, i guess just in case something were to happen.

Ive tried surveys and various gpt sites as they are called, but havent had luck yet, and i find them to usually be annoying more than anything.

Im at home alot because i cant drive and the job market is overcrowded in my area, not like i could handle a job anyway.

What would you advise i try or look into, and why so? Im not sure if i should post this here or somewhere else?

    Not really what you’re asking for, but do you have any hobbies? It sounds more like you’re bored than anything else. There are plenty of ways to engage your time that are far more fulfilling than watching number go up.

      Honestly there’s hobbies that could also make number go up. I took up blacksmithing with the full intent to make money doing it. I still haven’t, but I’m having fun lol

        That’s a fair point. I personally have found that trying to monetize my hobbies also sucks the joy out of them, but I’m coming from a point of privilege in that I make a decent salary and can afford to have leisure time without focusing on my income.

        The nice thing about hobbies is there’s usually people passionate about it willing to help curious people try it to see if they like it.

        Without knowing the people but just asking politely, for the cost of gas and a couple hours of my time I’ve gotten to try for free (in no particular order): Archery, Dungeons and dragons, Skeet shooting, Canoeing, Three day camping/hiking, Fishing, Knitting, Woodcarving, Drums, Guitar, Model Rockets, Model Trains, Slot Cars, Racing RC Cars, Home Brewing (okay $10 for ingredients), and more.

        You can try hobbies without knowing what you like. Find a local group who does what you’re interested in and just ask.

        If there’s something that interests you, you should try it! I know it sounds cheesy, but Wayne Gretzky was spot on when he said you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

        If I hadn’t tried out 3D printing on a whim, it never would have become one of my primary interests. In the same vein, I never would have gotten into electronics design, started brewing my own beer, gone to a punk rock show, got back into reading fantasy, or met my partner.
