> Start looking for work the day you have 0 dollars and all credit maxed out
> Realize that none of your skills are marketable anymore and even if they were, the job market is horse shit
> Get pings every few hours about how you're behind on bills and notifications about how your credit is being wrecked


It's beem about 2 months since that day where i hit $0. I've made no meaningful process finding a job. It's now hitting me that this year will put me behind the 8 ball for the rest of my life. I will never get out from under this. In a couple months my student loans will leave forbearance, those will be like 600-700 a month. I've checkmated myself from life, and I have no one to blame but me. I don't know how to move forward but I'm open to any suggestions at this point.

Maybe you should have thought about the future even a little bit.

What elitism? Where in that post do you see elitism? The fact that I was told the only way I'd survive is if I took on loans larger than I could even process back then? That I was told if I got that degree I'd have stable jobs for life just to be laid off every 8-15 months ? I'd do anything to go back in time and choose any path than what I did, including doing nothing at all and just being a NEET. But I can't and I've fucked up and I admit it.
