Sacrifice money in the bear term for time to study. Get a job like security guard where you can listen to classes on the job (to the extent it's possible to do both). Be promiscuous with your study materials. The great freedom of being self taught is you don't have to stick with a book, or even a topic, that's not working. When you feel unmotivated, meditate. Not in a woo woo feel the universe way, but in a practical one -- stepping back, considering your priorities and your history and the possibilities afforded by the world. And if possible, find peers who care about the same thing(s). If you can't find them locally, you can always find them online.
