Hi a-coleman,

You have two options. Either dig deep, as venice did with his/her awesome advice. Or regroup.

I would try to get student loans, or take online or community college courses (take one course at a time, if possible). Maybe you can work in a bookstore, or get a different job. Or hire your services out (driver, tutor, etc.)

Find a place of worship and/or a rec center. Go for social reasons as well as physical/spiritual reasons. Meet your neighbors. Friends come in all ages when you’re not a student. IMHO it’s healthier to have an eclectic “tribe”.

Good Luck, no matter what your path/s!

Blessings,

Inky
