Getting on my feet

Hey moms and future moms, I have been living with my mom for all my life. I have been a mom for a little more over 5 years now and I don’t feel like I’ve done anything that I should. For starters, I haven’t gotten to actually experience life. I don’t mean going club hopping and having wild nights, just having a life in general. I don’t have any friends, no hobbies, nothing that makes me- me. Everything revolves around my child and their interests, but even with that, there’s not much that we can actually do since I’m almost always broke. We live with my mom, but she doesn’t fund our lives, so the very little money I can come across, I have to spend it. Next, I don’t have a job or anything going for myself. I wanted to get a job once my baby was born, in fact I worked throughout my entire pregnancy literally until the last week. I would’ve worked until the last day, but I was advised not to. I’m tired of living with my mom because even though it’s a great thing that I can, I feel that it hasn’t actually done me and my child any good. I feel it has sort of handicapped us in a way. I want to know if there’s any ways for me to quickly get on my feet so that my child and I can live on our own. I’ve been job searching, but a job will likely take a couple years to save up with since I don’t have any real experience or qualifications to get a high paying one. Are there any side hustles? Preferably ones that I don’t have to be popular for them to work. I have a lot of clothes and toys that I could likely sell, but FB marketplace seemingly takes forever regardless of how many groups I post in. I don’t want to go to Plato’s or OUAC since they don’t pay much and I’ll likely be left with more than half of the clothes anyway. Please, I need some ideas, no matter what it is. I live in FL if that matters.
