I was literally pondering a similar thought before I saw this in my feed. Will steem ever make me rich? The answer is no because I don't have the money to invest enough to make it happen if the price goes back up to the 2017 levels. So I spend too much time here for the reward. I love being on steem but hanging out all day is not a good use of my time. I need to just pop in, look around, do a quick post and vote. And that is what you should do as well. With your stake you should see nice results when steem rises but don't spend too much time here when you could do better things with your children. They grow up way too fast and you don't want to miss it. Post the same types of post you normally do but less of them and not as in depth. Let your followers see what you are up to with a quick post and log off. Being here less may inspire you later on.
