I am 30 yet still poor, what should i do ?

1. The situation i faced

1. In the TV series “breaking bad”, Walt is 50 and still poor. I am a little bit lucky , only 30, but both poor too.
2. What’s even worser, i have been disappeared in public for almost one and a half year.
3. I neither posted any message in the moments of my wechat account, nor i contacted any friends. i just hid into my little house of imagination and licked my wounds alone.
4. Fortunately, the most dark moment has finally gone.
5. and my confidence comes back a little,else i won’t write this article.
6. Although it seems things go better and better, however here still comes the question: I am 30 yet still poor,what should i do ?
7. I have been thought of the question for days. what should i do to make money ? why my target customer pay attention,time and money to me ? Am i good at doing something ? Have i got some product or services to sell, after all people pay money for what they need . Do i have some information gap that could be used to make money ? so many questions.
8. Confusion i got.
9. Eventually i decided to think in another way.
