How do we afford a UBI?

So I frequently see people advocating for a universal basic income on reddit. It seems to be a pretty popular platform. I'm not fully opposed to one (especially as someone with an invisible disability). That being said I don't know how we can afford it? There are 340+ million American citizens in this country. Giving every American $10k would cost $3.4 trillion a year, which is about half our entire budget. And that's only for $10k, less than full-time at minimum wage.

So I'm a 30yo man. I've never had a girlfriend, and have had a pretty limited sexual history. Honestly I'm really desperate for some physical and romantic connection with someone. I've noticed in the past I've easily made friends with women older than me, or ones in relationships. Currently my best friend is the ex-girlfriend of a former friend. I also seem to get along very well with women older than me. Although single women my age treat me very coldly. They aren't very willing to talk, or even be very friendly. It really does a number on my self-esteem. There has to be something wrong with me to get to 30 having never had a girlfriend, but I don't know what?
