I did enjoy working on it but still it was a hassle and there's so many other things I enjoy more that I rather be doing but I 1000% would rather be making games then working an office job even if I'll be making alot less money but the question is if I'll be making money at all

and I get what you mean I know that i shouldn't be even thinking about making money before I finished multiple games and I know that im not special and that im even still in the 80% of people that haven't even finished a game but im at the age and point in my life where I need to have an income source of any kind, bec life won't wait for my ass to keep experimenting and trying new things, I was just hoping to find something i can do for a living that won't make me hate me life

Well. Most people on Itch are hobby developers and struggling developers. The people that make enough money to have this as their full time job are rarely talking in this message board.

And game developer is basically an office job. Even if you work from home, because you have no office, because you are unemployed self employed.

I suggest you try reading about experiences of non indie game developers. Not about success stories of small developers gone viral. I talk about the regular people that are employed by medium to big game studios. I would guess their work is just about the same as that of any other person that works in an office on a computer.
