While not an easy road I feel like people on Steemit are more receptive then other platforms. I think people get too focused on the rewards. On other social media platforms it is as hard or harder to make money.
I have made lots of good connections even a few that are local here on steemit.
As for the SBD I would treat it as a risky investment.It is very volatile but there is a good chance it will go up substantially in the next few years.
We are treating everything in life as a risky investment.
I mean honestly the only ones that came out on top of everything are the ones that cause all the suffering.
But I think we can make it...... but then taxes, thieves, wives, war or death can take it away. So who cares you cant take it with you when you die.
Might I mention that the more stuff you have the harder it is to move fast. I have given away 3 houses full of stuff and now I need to have my biggest give-away yet. Stuff accumulates fast!
If you are skinny you are easy to kidnap. So eat more cake don't be a target for kidnappers.
How many fat people have you ever heard were kidnapped? Can you name one?
Interesting factoid.
Life is harsh but we make the best of it. When I see my children smile it is worth it.
My entire being is about my wife and kids. That is my point, our stuff rusts, decay withers away right before our eyes.
The joy of making any of my family happy is worth all I own.
The greatest riches I have are them.
We have it pretty good where we are today. But this life is like a vapor here today and gone tomorrow.
Like a beautiful flower that has just bloomed. Enjoy it now because it will not last forever.
I am very fortunate as a father and husband I have never been away from my wife and kids for more than 10 hours at one time. Now that @lovenfreedom works mostly remotely we are together always. We have never spent a night apart. I have not missed "Firsts" with my kids. I have been there to facilitate them.
I could make bookoos more money if I would keep my construction company going and be gone all the time. I was in business for 25 years doing that.
But at what cost?
I read this story, everyone should read it. It changed my perspective about money, life.

I've read that story before. :)
