Don't put all your eggs on the Steem basket though! I've learned that you should chip away at it until there's some semblance of a steady stream of income. One day, I'm sure we'll make it work. But until that, I'm happy to just grind away.
That's an awesome goal to have, and I wish you all the best in making that a reality, man! I'm certain that a STEEM-powered getaway with your girlfriend is in your future, brother! :D
