Over 40 and a loser

I'm 43, out of work and struggling with the job hunt. I don't have any tertiary education. I don't have children and never will (not by choice), no home and having to live with family at my age. My wife deserves better. How can I be a man with any value if I cannot provide. I feel absolutely worthless. I have no hope for the future💔

@WorthlessBeing43 Firstly, I would like to say you are far from worthless. Your are worthy and your life has purpose! I'm so sorry to hear that you feel like you have no value. At your age, it may be stressful having to go through all that, but please remember one thing-- this is all temporary. Please change your mindset, try and think optimistic for your future, and don't give up. You are not a failure and I'm sure there are many things you are wonderful at! Be persistent in your job hunting. Show up in person if you have to. Let the businesses know what you can bring to the table and that's a lot! ☆ Just keep at it. Your time is coming! In the meantime, have you considered looking for some kind of at home job? Or if you have a vehicle, you can sign up to do doordash or uber as a side gig to earn some funds. Regardless, I hope your financial situation turns around soon for the better! Remember too, the amount of money one makes does not determine success or worth! Living with your family at your age might not be ideal but how fortunate you are to have that. Have you checked in your area if there are any resources to help you with housing? See what resources are available to you. It's just a suggestion, of course. Don't give up please! Everyday do something to work on changing the things you with. Circumstances don't last forever and just know I'm rooting for you! I hope things get better for you and your wife! And remember always-- you are worthy!! Take care!
