Thanks for the replies.
As for mining on the PC, I did decide to try to mine some altcoins; recently I've been trying to mine the newer one called Electroneum and I've gotten better results doing this vs. trying to mine bitcoins these days; following advice. Electricity is something I really don't worry about since I don't have a bill. I still regret not keeping at it, but that's another story since I can't fret on it; past is the past.
Yea it would be better off trying to get work - and don't get me wrong, I have been trying, but no luck, just a pile of rejection letters in the inbox every day (but it's a bit harder for me since I'm disabled and still fighting for disability so I can get back on my feet). That said, I have decided to give faucets a shot again, because in the end, it is 'technically' free money that I can claim in between applying for jobs and doing other things that I need to do. So I figure why not, but I've decided to just do it casually vs like I was before and going all out on it.
Thanks for the advice everyone
