The 4.0 the lifters tick due to the push rods and the rockers are known for wearing.
The wear due to oiling problems.
The rods kind of mushroom on the tips. Replacing the rods is the cure. Some say you can flip them over and this will cure the problem.

So is it alright if i just keep driving it like this? i dont have much cash to fix it.

Yeah it shouldn't hurt it much.
Most times just flipping over the rods fix's the tick.
Not that hard once you get everything out of the way to get the valve covers off.
To do the valve covers you have almost every off engine. throttle body, coil packs Alt,ac pump. A very easy job but it takes 3-4 hours because of all the stuff you have to take off to get it.

Even my old 2.5 had Lifter tick,I think it's just a Ranger thing.lol.
But I agree with Randy,i've heard the same about flipping the rods.
