Finished reading all your answers. Just one big question. Why NFTs? If you are having a bad time, don't you think it's looking for a job first before you go investing? Because NFTs are not cheap and will not give you returns in a short span of time. That means if you just have a sufficient amount of money for your necessities then you might go hungry and won't even see ROI or profits.
Upwork is a good platform, I had a job there before that pays well. The contract is finished though so I am also like you trying to look for a job that suits my skills.
