About to attempt a no buy month for the first time

Gosh, I'm scared. I've never tried this before and I'm about to make serious plans for my next paycheck. I don't make much anyway and my shopping addiction has reached its peak for me. Other than gardening soil and slug bait, I'm not going to spend a single dollar on things I don't need. I'm hoping I can achieve a no buy year if this works out. I should have never heard of Etsy. 😮‍💨

Too sick to work anymore, what kind of jobs are out there for people who are unable to perform regular jobs?

I'm getting to the point where I'm too exhausted to keep going as I am. I acquired mononucleosis and long Covid a few years ago and I haven't gotten over the post-vital syndrome yet. I'm currently trying to find anything flexible where I don't have to leave my home much and so I can be able to rest enough and pay bills at the same time. I'm currently having difficulty with everything from FMLA (job doesn't recognize mono as a disability and my boss kept detailing my accomodations), and I'm currently unable to get disability assistance. The only thing I have been able to access has been help from food pantries and hiding at work in order to rest. I don't have much experience in office work or WFH positions, and I don't have a degree for easier jobs such as data entry, which I would love to try. Is there a way out of having to work 40/hrs a week or leave the house everyday? Is it possible?
