Ebroken,
You can get funding somewhere given what you've told me about your master's performance and your upbeat attitude. Finance phd is the best thing ever if you like that stuff. 5 years of getting paid above the poverty line to get paid 6 figures+ and most likely get tenure somewhere after that. I understand the appeal of the private sector since you get paid now and feel like a real human being. I probably ask myself why I'm doing this to myself a few times a month but then I get over it.

Evo,
It's clear that you are seriously unhappy. Take a step back from everything and take a real break. Go backpacking in SEA, go hike the Appalachian Trail, go get a job bartending in a tropical location. If your backup plan is enlisting or going for a phd, none of those things are going anywhere anytime soon. Do something that changes things up for you and gives you a real shot at getting out of this rut.
