RE: I have no choice but to be poor, in debt, etc. People here are talking about how they spend $20,000+ on this like it's nothing. Makes me sick.
Brother stay focused. I have been in the same situation as you some years back. Whatever amount of money you have now...STEEMIT is the platform that could potentially make your day. Stay focused. Also be thankful for whatever you have now. Even if its something like 40 -100 steem...that could be worth as much as BTC one day. Things happen very quick in the times we live in brother. Dont let things get you down. It is sad how yes if you dont have money you are essentially a "slave" to the system. The money are our "freedom units" for this system we are all born into...the matrix if you will. Think positive man. One thing is for sure you will have support from me and this amazing community. I am always here and if you need advice or anyone to talk to ever....I am all ears man. Here is something that may make you feel better...I saw the rise of myspace/facebook back in the day...marketcaps were around the same as we are here today. STEEMIT has the potential to go viral just as fast or faster than facebook because we live in different times today. Facebook / myspace brought millions upon millions of people worldwide online more often....STEEMIT may do the same thing. Today facebook is valued at 300BILLION + ....3 years ago it was around 30 BILLION...
I honestly do doubt the solution to all my financial problems lies here. But say I do invest $20 credit. How do I change that into Steem market money or whatever. Don't just say "invest it" or something like that, I need very specific instructions about how to get my $20 credit into Steem money just to see where that goes. Again I have extreme doubts that is going to actually solve my financial obstacles, but I would love to be proven wrong.
In other words how do I get out of over $20,000 debt with investing $20 credit here? I don't think a positive attitude is realistically going to do that, it might carry me through the next 15 years doing meaningless work at some other big company... I just don't see how investing the minimal credit I have left here is going to change my life for the better.
