Why Doesn’t My Poverty Motivate Me To Work Harder?

Card image cap

Ever since my father passed away, I have been the next in line to take care of my aging and ill mother. I’m in my 20s, studying, and I barely scrape by month to month. I borrow money from people and pay them back when I get my maintenance loan from uni. I have a zero hour contract job but I rarely ever go. It’s a hard, laborious job so I have no desire going.

I’m dealing with screen and food addiction as well. I’ve finally fixed my sleep pattern which is a plus.

The bailiffs are after my family because of some debt which my father left behind.

There’s an avalanche of problems, yet, I have no desire to get out of this mess.

As the typical Gen Z guy in his 20s, I’m too lazy to try and make money other than the online way. It was marketed to us at a young age that we can make 10k a month from the comfort of our homes. I tried dropshipping, Shopify, stock trading. Couldn’t make it. I went to the gym and hated it, the people, the noise, the machines, everything, so now I workout at home and go on walks.

My question is, what can I do to actually uplift myself and save the family.

I WANT to do well and have a car, house, wife, money, business, but can’t even turn on the engines key.

If anyone has gone through this phase, please let me know.
