Hi everyone, I am revisiting this thread.
So I am currently living in rented accommodation. It's about $100 USD per week and power and Internet are included.

I have approximately $3000 USD in the bank right now. Maybe a bit more stashed away in other accounts. That's enough to pay for 30 weeks rent. Plus some more money for food, etc.
I am thinking of enrolling in a distance learning course in March. The government will give me about $150 per week as a loan for living expenses. Plus I will get about $750 as a one-off payment.
Ideally I would prefer to not rely on the government and make this money myself. (I don't want to be a leech living off the government.) How should I go about doing this?
