I understand completely. I also had a pretty successful AdSense business about 20 years ago - I got enough to provide for my family. I was already thinking of just doing that. But after about five years, Google blocked me without any warning. And, believe me, I was looking for something to focus on for a long time. I've been here for a while now, growing more slowly, but I'm just doing what I want to do. And it's gradually coming back to me.
That's a blessing for sure! I remember the Ad Sense days for sure. Lots of history there! Awesome to hear it provided for you and your family!
Yes, I got another average salary, around €700 in Slovenia. Now it is about €1500.
