>I thought I would want to become a Web developer because I saw it as a way out of poverty for me and my family but I find it hard and give up at times because everything is so overwhelming and I don't have anyone to ask questions to because I have so many questions plus I can't afford bootcamps.

Wow. Get ahold of yourself.

You're almost incoherent and begging for advice yet you were unwilling to give a serious answer to CyberFonic's post. You don't seem like a person that deserves helping.

What are you referring to?

Also, feeling frustrated and like you've hit a wall is just part of the nature of learning to program. Building up the mental fortitude and patience to keep going and keep trying to see what you're wrong about (and thus get around the blockage) takes time.

Why do you think he seems undeserving of help?

Do you just want me to repeat myself? He's defeatist, typing almost incoherently and he's clearly already abandoned this thread. The reasons why he doesn't deserve help are self evident.
Are you kidding? Is being coherent your litmus test for deserving help? He's probably a little depressed and emotionally rattled right now, and being incoherent (I understood him just fine, though) is absolutely a side effect of being in a dire, stressful situation.
