The math sucks

So right now, with my current health problems, I can work about 5 hours a day. That’s all I really have to go grocery shopping, class, homework etc. Given I can only work such a limited amount of time I’ve figured my best bet is freelancing. I would need $70/hr with only 2 weeks off to get above $80,000 which I doubt is a living wage in my state in terms of rent (edit: on top of things like copays, med fees, art program subscriptions, keeping service dog healthy and fed) We’re still trying different meds but I’ve been sick for 4 years now and while the symptoms have improved my functioning really hasn’t. So ha fuck I’m screwed. I haven’t even graduated yet and I get kicked off my parents’ insurance in 2 years. How’s everyone else’s day going?
