Been working for myself for over 3 years, but was considering throwing in the towel for a while to grab a job for some more stable income. Looking like Steemit might be able to fill in the gap instead :) I'm sort of in the same boat as you, "My cost of living is dirt cheap. No car, no kids, no wife, low rent and ramen everynight baby !! " lol Cheers to passion and one life to live making it happen!
