I don’t want to grow up, please help?

Ok, so I am 24 years old (male), but I feel, think, and act like a child. I play with toys (mostly action figures and plush characters), play in park play areas (when there’s no kids there), watch cartoons (I love cartoons), and cosplay wear costumes. I also have a membership on ABCMouse.com for myself. I love doing these things and don’t want to give up any of it. This may sound strange to you, but I can’t help it, it’s just how my brain works. However, here’s where the problem comes in: I don’t have a job (I never have), and I’m very unwilling to get one, because I don’t want to give up my free time, and I really don’t want to be/feel like an adult. I’m on SSI (I have a disability, but I won’t say what it is). I do my chores, pay bills, and take care of my responsibilities (that’s the only “adult” part of me), but I definitely can’t handle a job, unless it’s running a lemonade stand or mowing people’s lawns (which obviously wouldn’t work well at my age). I need a job with a flexible schedule that isn’t so serious, maybe selling ice cream? (I’d like to drive an ice cream truck, but I don’t have a drivers license.) I don’t mind being jobless, but I really want to travel the world (that has been my dream since childhood), and I can’t afford to do that (which makes me very frustrated). I need to get more money, but I don’t want to get a serious adult job. I don’t have a serious side to me and am unable to be serious when I need to. What should I do?

    A lot of disabled people find themselves in the very same place so don't blame or beat up on yourself you can only do the best you can do BUT the one thing you should not do is bite off more than you can chew cost a lot more to yourself and society as a whole and from the sounds of it you are doing the best you can and remember it's a condition not a character flaw just don't do anything criminal because Jail is no place for disabled people but a lot of them end up there anyways and it might be societies way of getting rid of you in the absence of watchful eyes...

    There's money in YouTube, and you can dictate whatever content you want to distribute.
