Thanks. Substack is hostile, trust me I have had a Substack for about an year. You really need to standout with a lot of convicing to even have atleast 1 person even pay to read your newsletter.
Another reason, Substack payments channels are not available in some regions which means you can't have some premium posts and again just redirecting to a lets say Buy Me Coffee page does not always work to a majority of people there.
Maybe you could have some tips on how to approach this in your experience

Usually is the location and the surrounding environment (sometimes "friends etc") that leads a person in a certain situation. A radical change may help as may make things worse (but it can´t be much worse then an eviction notice I guess).
A new location can offer less stress, fresh start, maybe cheaper accommodation and lifestyle, but most importantly motivation and new opportunities.
The 10k are in the range of a company owner instead of employment. Some states/countries facilitate the startup and if you did it once you can do it again.
