I've also started to delve into the world of having more than one stream of income. Not easy but it certainly isn't impossible at all too.
Consistency is the real key. Although having Hive pump up enough to live off curation rewards, well that would be splendid right! If you can only replace your salary with something else that generates more or less the same, more would be better. But if so then you've got more time on your hands to make even more money with.
But getting that extra income without having to put in a lot of extra effort is the thing.
!BEER
Even if I could technically live off Hive, I would continue to work at something outside too, because, why not? If you have a farm with 5 fields, why only use two of them to generate growth?
Yes I do understand that...
But if I was able to get my salary from Hive. What I would do is finish my studies and then I would quit my job. Not for the sake of sitting at home but for the sake of finding or building something for myself rather than slaving away for someone...
Yes building something is going to take a lot of time, but I'd rather struggle on for a few more years and have something spectacular at the end of the road.
