I'm in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there's ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I'm legitimately fucked. I'm one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

If you've worked so much retail I guess the next logical step would be to shift to field sales. Companies across all industries are almost always in want of good salesmen and you stand a chance of earning good commissions if you put in decent effort, and eventually you can get into management and move up the corporate ladder. I don't know what's operating wherever you live, but to start with maybe you can hit up offices of telecom companies, banks or wholesale e-commerce firms. You don't need a lot of qualifications to enter field sales.
