Look, sadly this is not gonna be an easy problem (not only for you but for anybody losing a job this days). Our industry has decided the productivity can be increased with less human force an it creates a bottleneck to join a company. Also, creating something by yourself to live from will be hard because SaaS is quickly dying. I have no solution for this problem, this is something new for all of us. You'll dedicate your time watching youtube videos about people surfing your same situation but no one has a real answer. Do not try to solve your own problems applying the same solutions than others, get out of your home look at your local community find a problem and find a solution that requires some real hands-on work (other colleague in this conversation talked about searching a trade, it's a good idea) Eveybody will tell you to not abandon your dreams but lets be practical, a dream without a way to take some food to the plate is just a nice idea in your mind. Be real, crude and honest with the world that we're all living. This is the new reality and sadly it's not your fault. Keep learning, training your technical skills (obviously) but be realistic about the chances. You can do it, do not lose your faith.
