I did my first year in 2019 without funding. sometimes i thought of quitting but something in me told me that i can do this. i was surprised by my performance because i spent more than 6 years without doing any academic studying. 

I finished my undergraduate degree with a couple of distinctions in record time and i am now enrolled for honors degree at university of Venda. moral of the story: it is never too late for education. if i can do it so can anyone else.
