Yeah, you can't really understand its implications if you haven't survived it personally. I got extremely lucky in terms of my motivations, interests, and brain, I can tell you that. I do not take any of it for granted.

My story is like yours. Having been watching all my loved ones suffer all my life as first son. Now I am away from family still watching them but can go back to them till I can whisper goodnews into their ears. Now I drain my entire bone structure from too much work to make great things happen this year or the start of it. Just good news alone can sustain them for a few years. I am on my fifth year away from family and this is it. This year has so many special things. Again thank you for your support
It's completely stupid and depressing that people have to worry about "money." It feels inhuman and inhumane. It robs people of self-worth and deprives them of being with other people on the terms that they'd like to be. It's sad, but hopefully projects such as this will be a lot of alleviating.
Yes, steemit does help us learn to put money aside. It is a gradually process but we are doing well to teach with our own deeds!
