but based on my research most multivitamins are a racket and don't really work that well

Well, that was my point. People expect drastic and immediate results from simply popping supplements and/or vitamins, such as curing colds/flus/immune system boosting and resolving other problems, like health problems.
With the persons average nutrition/eating habits, I doubt they even get a quarter of the daily recommended vitamin, mineral and fatty acid requirement and illnesses are a very common problem nowadays, such as people feeling depressed, anxious, lethargic, sleeping constantly, etc and it's no surprise considering what people live on.
Some people thinking eating the occasional salad, or drinking a cup of orange juice because "it has vitamin C d00d!" or drinking because "it has calcium and vitamin D d00d! is sufficient.

With the cost being so cheap, I see no problem in having some vitamin + minerals and fish oil capsules, just purely based on that it is better than nothing and even if placebo, makes me feel better.

But the thing about it is having a perfectly balanced diet is such a hassle in this day and age, and it costs a lot of money which at this time I can't afford to spend frivolously

Society wants people to live on shitty processed foods, that's why that garbage is so cheap and food that's actually good for you is expensive

One day when I'm more well-situated as far as my finances go I'll improve my diet and what not

For now though OJ and chocolate milk is gonna have to do the trick

Living healthily is not expensive. You can buy bulk legumes, nuts, seeds, grains and pulses for cheap. Green veg is cheap, such as spinach and kale. Exotic fruit, like berries, etc are expensive, though. Bananas, apples, pears, etc are cheap.

I am a hypocrite though, lately I have been eating like crap but I think to think I am honest, I am simply too lazy to prepare a healthy meal and I don't make excuses about money.

But that would require going to the supermarket all the time and cooking my own food and what not

I don't like to cook because I suck at it not to mention I have a younger brother who mooches off me at every opportunity so no it's not just excuses, it's my situation

Fish oil is the creation of an absolute bat shit nutjob scientist working for big pharma who is interested in the possibilities of de-enginering, re-enginering and straight up altering of the human genetic code structure.

The thought is giving people fish oil gradually day by day, the DNA of said individuals begin to slightly offer from ingestion of radiation.
Throughout the course of years his thoughts are mutations will begin to show either in individuals themselves &/or their offspring.
They hope to alter us in ways that could potentially better the lives of our species.
They don't care about what goes wrong with a chance of being right.
And with the amount of radiation going into everyone being so minuscule even being with such frequent use, the chances of being able to legally blame fish oil when the mutations come will be impossible.

So, you can't spend 40 bucks on a decent blender, buy cheap healthy food, shove it all in a blender and drink it like chocolate milk?
You can't buy 1lb of onions (for a few quid), some leeks, cabbage, lettuce, some other stir fry food, some coconut oil and fry it all in 3 minutes?
Excuses, bro.

Well I already have a blender so actually that sounds like a pretty good idea when you put it that way

Plus it would no doubt taste revolting so my brother wouldn't touch it
