So, I live in a third world jungle shithole and am stuck on a deadend job that does not pay me enough to survive withoun't the financial support of my parents, I need to find an alternative source of income or I will be facing some really grim times in the future...

My country is shit, the economy is shittier and the town I live at is even worse, so making a physical business or store would be a terrible idea! In such a scenario I see little choice but to turn to other means of income like an online business, investments and other such things that might provide me with the income I need to survive! The problem is that I have no idea on how to do any of that, and am likely to fail if I don't get some pointers.

Could anyone help me? Is investing in the stock market or buying shares a bad idea for me? How much money would I need to invest to obtain a moderate income?
