M34. I want to restart my life from scratch. Where do I begin?

[sa_ill]

Long story short: I've been financially exploited for years by my family and I want out.
Here's what I have in my hands right now:

• A 10 year old gaming blog with around 1200 blog posts. Hardly gets updated now, but does have decent backlinks. Used to get 2500 hits a day during prime days. Now gets 100 hits a day.
• Chemical Engineering Degree from a premier university
• Decent Wordpress/SEO knowledge
• A YouTube channel with 100 subs (only a few videos I posted YEARS back)
• Rusty coding knowledge
• Vast experience in the gaming industry and trash bags/plastic film industry (my family business, where I am being exploited and the key decision maker is sinking the ship)

I'm open to learning new things like AI/ML.

I have no assets/savings. I'm not including the car I own. I dont get paid in my family business.

I'm reasonably intelligent compared to the average and a quick learner, well travelled. I know what it is to work 16-20 hours a day.

I know this is far fetched, But really, what can I do to restart my life?

Acknowledge that you allow them to financially exploit you. That it isn't something they've just been doing to you. In other words, this isn't a thing you have no control over. You can choose to stop being a victim anytime you want. A reasonably intelligent person can figure that out. The rest is easy. Just pick a direction and go.

I have acknowledged. It is completely my own doing, and I'm paying the consequences. I am ready to move on and make a change..
Now, I'm seeking advise about where do I go from here?
