I'm 28 work at walmart and I'm tired of the stupid routine. I want to just live on my own little plot of land and do what I want.
I have no real skills so I can't make bank online like some people and I have sever depression and anxiety that kinda ruined all of my passions.
I really just want to travel the world with my boyfriend and see him be happy and fulfilled.
Anyway. Is there some way to obtain a couple acres of land when I have no/terrible credit, have medical and school debt and barely make enough to live off?
How can I get land when I'm poor?

Various 3rd world countries offer cheaper land. Nothing is free.
Making bank is a pipe dream which stems from limited observation of endless effort expended to reach a position of comfort, or risks which always backfire eventually.
The longer you spend pondering such fantasies, the farther you'll be from attainable goals.
Does your current income cover your debts' interest? How much more is there?
You say you have no real skills. I doubt that's accurate, but you should know that possessing a skill is around 50% credentials, 30% ideas and 20% aptitude. Or in other words, convincing the average person you know what you're doing.
So what you need to do is channel your time towards getting out of debt, developing a minimal set of skills in a profession which offers reliable income and which you find tolerable, then starting a career at a beginner's position. Determination is key.
Being happy and fulfilled has little to do with chasing dreams. One can find more satisfaction in the present, or seek where to improve if we're to go by maslow's hierarchy - having enough food, shelter, health, friends / family, intimacy, esteem / respect for your capabilities; and only then pursuing goals.
In USA most states have land available for mining claim. You pay 150 bux a year for five acres. You don't have to mine, and you can't stop people from entering or even camping on the land, and anything you add to the land has to be carried out or abandoned when you leave. But you have the use of the land as long as you want it. Check with your state bureau of mines for details.
That does not solve any of your problems. You still have to get an income, you have to maintain a vehicle, you have to heat whatever you built to live in, and so on.
