nice post and I agree with pretty much everything you said here. I’m also working towards getting away from my day job hopefully in the next decade. It’s really hard to find the right combination of things to replace that income source though.
Trading is definitely not easy money. Those who make money doing it on a consistent basis are very few and far between. I would not expect to earn a living just from trading or just from steemit. However, I do plan on the two being some level of supplemental income on top of other things I’m working towards turning into steady income sources.
Too many people expect something for very little work lately. I see it here all to often when people get frustrated because they aren’t making tons of money right off the bat. They see how well others are doing and assume it was easy for the whales to get where they are today which isn’t really true in most cases.
Hey thanks for really taking the time read through my work. You're right, that's the same plan for me. We are saving up for a farm, continue my trading, and steem on. Hopefully by doing those three things along with other passive investments we'd be able to cover the current income from my day job.
Best of luck to your quest. I've been in the corporate world for 14 years now hoping to exit in 5 to 10 years. Hopefully 5 :-)
good luck to you too! I’ve been in the corporate world for 8 years now and every year it gets more stressful. The salary and the benefits are hard to walk away from but I’m convinced if I don’t get out eventually I’m going to wake up one day and my whole life will have passed me by and I’ll have nothing to show for it.
