What if I wanna learn to code because I want to make more money than what I'm making now but lack creativity to make something like a game or an app that's supposed to be good practice?

Learn finance and bookkeeping; work for a bank. Software development is not lucrative; the high-paying jobs are fundamentally tough and cause burnout. Median employment at big software companies is maybe 2-3yrs and it will ruin your ability to relate to other humans.

Or work for a software development related to finance and bookkeeping so you get the downsides of both.
