Get in touch with why you are doing what you are doing, and what you really want. If you want to save money, you definitely can. Maybe you could think about what that money could be used for. There are plenty of other benefits to preparing food at home, too, cooking or not. It's more convenient, and more under your direct control. If you don't really care about spending less money, or you aren't willing to change anything about what you eat (e.g. sushi for lunch, Chinese food for dinner, and so on), just keep doing what you're doing. There are lots of common ways that people get their nutrients, though, without spending a lot of money, or cooking elaborate gourmet meals. Do you care about nutrition? Do you need every meal to be a hot meal? Do you mind eating the same thing every day? I'm not going to tell you to eat fast food, but restaurant options span a wide price range, and you could start by being more price-conscious about breakfast and lunch, for example. And there are lots of things you can prepare at home that don't require "cooking," like toast, cereal, a sandwich, or a salad. I know plenty of people who, when they hit on their perfect salad or sandwich, wanted to eat it every day, or at least a few times a week. There's also a lot you can microwave, and not just TV dinners, but also steam-in-the-bag veggies, rice, and proteins like hot dogs, bacon, sausage, meatballs, and so on. I don't know how old you are, but it sounds like you are single; do you want to have a partner? Kids? You'll need to at least be willing to wash a plate or wipe down a counter. Can you cut up a piece of fruit or a vegetable? Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Instead of thinking about cooking, maybe think about assembling foods that you like (which may be raw or microwaved) into a meal that you like. If you don't like going to the grocery store, go once a week on Sunday and stock up. Or have someone shop for you. I pay a housekeeper who does the dishes three times a week (and laundry and other tasks). This same person can also shop, and even prepare meals for you, which can be kept in the fridge and reheated. Some housekeepers who do these sorts of tasks don't also want to scrub your bathrooms, so keep that in mind (there's a line between housekeeping and housecleaning, but it can be blurry). It can be better to get a cleaning service once a month for that. But you can go on Care.com and find someone who is offering the set of services you need. But also, think about the skills you want to have in life and don't be entirely utilitarian about it.
