Don't even have to go close to that far. Get a job that pays well. It is possible by doing most anything that is offered at a trade school. More importantly, pick a different place to live. Small towns away from the cities it's totally do-able to have a single income family. I know multiple families that do quite well like this. Yeah, you're going to be in a boring town, but your family is your fun, not the vegan gastropub.
Good luck finding some place to apprentice you. Every journeyman knows that apprenticeships are a one way ticket to losing your fucking job.
And the vast majority run purely on nepotism. So unless you are family, or have family/friends vouching for you, they won't even respond to your calls. That's how 90% of "small town" jobs work unless you work for the major corpo chain franchise in the town.
As CCCPNeverAgain said, even this is way to extreme and unnecessary.
You can buy cheap "pay as you go" phone plans. Get one streaming service that you are going to use, and then share another. AC is perfectly fine (and in many cases necessary) so long as you have good insulation. Worse case: make a single "cool" room for your house. Normally a good option is the basement for the summer, then a warm room for the winter (like a loft)
Everything else is what a responsible adult should be doing anyways.
I've found just being okay being poor is better than making money, taxes, traffic, hours at work, etc. I'll work for peanuts part time and spend my life at home with my family. Bonus points for doing as much as possible outside of the tax banking system.
