How Soon Can My "over 50" Channel Get Monetized? Weeks? Months? Years?

I posted my first video on my over 50, real-life channel on May 14, 2024. I'm documenting my journey to getting monetized, starting literally from zero subscribers and zero watch hours.
I'll post weekly with an update on where I am. To be monetized on TH-cam you need 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours (not including shorts).
I enjoy sharing my atypical life at 59 as I'm starting over after raising 3 kids on my own.
I've been:
- divorced for 16 years,
- have three adult daughters
- work as a nanny to four kids,
- am in grad school full-time to become a licensed therapist.
Topics on my channel include mental health, starting over, single parenting, financial struggles, and managing complex trauma (adult child of two alcoholics).
