I know that some people needed the money they earned on Steem right away. I was fortunate enough to 'let it ride' and see what would happen. Even though I thought Steemit to be the best thing ever, the 'ghost town' got me thinking I might be wrong.
Things are brighter now, but all we can do it push on come rain or shine. My only wish is that I had the time to research and write articles like when I lived in the trailer in Qatar.
I fall into the boat of needing the money that I earn from here. At least last summer / fall. When I'm going hard on here it takes so much time to post. Plus everyone elses content is so good and interesting that sometimes I just ended up spending hours looking at other people's stuff.
