self publishing

After 40 years of doing so many things in life and going through different ups and downs I realize that i need to put this whole experience on paper with simple language and simple words. This book will be about a life of simple, common or "average joe" - as some may say - people. No B.S., no sophisticated language and garbage. Just want to show that we all have a great life story to tell.
In order to become a writer I need some money to sustain myself during the period of writing and to pay for self publishing.
Thank You all in advance!
