Hey friend, first of all it's indeed a fucked up life and I lnow it very well. One not practical but helpfull thing I did was watch some financial youtube videos lile Graham stephan or kaleb hammer. It really did opened mymind to things I thought I really needed and thought me some good financial literacy.
Another thing for me is that one day I was so so down that I thought "I either finish it all or get some meds there is no way to live like this". Getting help for my mental health was the best this I ever did. My financial/life situation didn't change but my feelings about it did which allowed my to think rationally and calm and find practical solutions. It really changed my life, not only the quality but also the financial side long term. Anxiety don't let us think like we should about things.
I am fully medicated for depression and anxiety. I was definitely at a low point when I made this post. I will look into that advice.
