I need convincing to quit my job

Yeah, I'm weak. No shame in saying that. I work odd jobs in music and actually am finding relative success with connections. But being the music industry, it wouldn't cover rent to move out, although I absolutely have the savings for it. It's not that I need the money. It's more sentimental than that. I've been working for a small business for the better part of 2 years now. It's retail, but I do everything back-end, taxes, marketing, set up payroll ect. My boss has consistently been someone who doesn't have an in-depth buisness plan and very poor communication skills. I'll be yanked from one task to the next. At some points, I was even asked to commit fraud to get government grants. We got those grants, but I made it clear I wasn't going to do it personally. She blames.all her buisness failures on everything but her, mostly Covid…

She blames.all her buisness failures on everything but her, mostly Covid and my city's festival going on right now (sure?), Even the Rus-Ukr conflict right now (we live so far away from those????).

Few days ago she tells me the most recent government grant is now gone. Spent on wages and rent. She's asking me to make a website for her. Okay. With no budget. Wtf? Realistically, this is all a huge fuckaround, and I know it, but I need that push to get me to quit. She has $2 to her name apparently, she has a daughter I went to school with and I'm friends with the other employees, for them to lose their jobs and for her daughter to suffer. But this impacts my mental health, being asked to rescue the buisness every 3 months. I tried telling her I quit last shift and she didn't get it, thought I was talking about getting off early.

Roast me my guys. I need the push.
