The most valuable asset you have or had is/was Time and not the money you think you have lost. Imagine this, since 2014, you have been wasting time on those Pay Per Install campaigns which earned you peanuts and now you are stuck. Since you seem to be some leaning towards discovering bugs and vulnerabilities. If only you had used that time and data plans to learn programming or coding. You would be miles far right now.

There so many crypto projects looking for developers, web designers or even pay handsomely for bug bounties, and no I don't recommend you to go into that bad practice of black hat hacking or whatever. Karma will always follow you.
It's never too late to learn something and get your life in order. Knowledge is power.

Each one of us here has had challenges at one point in life. It's what makes us human. Otherwise, do you think it's cool turning into someone evil every time you are faced with a challenge? I don't think so.
