I started YT not caring about money. Then I lost my job/was assaulted/brain damage/broken bones/PTSD/social anxiety disorder/degenerating discs in my neck. That messed me up hard. My income went from 60k/year to 699 a month. 450 of that is rent. then lights/power.
Some months one of those bills doesn't get paid because I have to eat. The $100 I was getting from youtube every few months now was a welcome thing. I never wanted to be huge, famous or rich (would be nice though). I just wanted enough to break even. I just wanted to eat.
