There's an old saying that goes: "Where there's a will, there's a way."
You won't find success if you are always playing the victim card, complaining that it's the state or some big bad boogeymen oppressing you from challenging yourself.
Escaping unstable living situations by repeatedly grinding through improbable moonshots, requires you to have the emotional and financial stability necessary to repeatedly expend effort and money on attempts that fail to pay off. This can be achieved through self-worth produced by a supportive and non-traumatic upbringing, a financial safety net, finding ways to make daily life more worthwhile and recharging, and/or loved ones acting as an emotional support network. For people without this, attempting stressful tasks will only destabilize your living situation and result in burnout and suffering.
