Ya not having kids is a big benefit when it comes to being picky about jobs!! Sounds like you made the right choice, I think tons of people just resign themselves to hating every work day of their lives and it is super sad to see.

If Steemit is able to grow even modestly for the next 12 months, I think users like us will be in a GREAT place. Imagine the value of Steem grows slowly to $4 in the next year - hardly a crazy idea - this post would be worth around $70! And looking at your blog, you'd have quite a few similarly valuable posts.

When one or two posts a day can generate $50-$100 for mid-level Steemians, there will be a TON of us who are earning a comfortable living or baseline income from this site. In the meantime, we all wait and pray for the "hell yea!" to kick in :-D
