Since Hive earning dropped sharply, we have faced difficulties. I have the same experience, my Hive earning is not enough to feed my family, I have to start my small business but the sales is not good. I try to get a job as a part time teacher but the salary is still under my expenses. I hope some whales will not halt their upvotes. I see some whales halting their upvotes, I don't know the reason why.
Far distance school needs high cost, you can rent your house and move to a new location near a school.
I think some of the whales are now upvoting the HBD/HIVE stabilizer posts instead of supporting content creators. I guess the thinking is when you have millions of HIVE, it's more important to bring the price up than to spread the wealth around a little.
Some of the whale votes I used to get have also stopped, and with HIVE's low price I am also considering other options for work. I wish we had unlimited internet so that I could do online Khmer language classes, but this place is so beautiful that we gladly accept the hardships that come with it.
