HI EVERYONE!
It's me again, the guy that is stuck in one of the smaller of the European countries trying to sell of all the family property in a practically DEAD market.
Not to go into naming the country or the economics in the former eastern blocks states and republics, but to cut a long story short, the real estate markets in some of these places are literally DEAD. Deader than any road kill on the middle of the road! If that helps in describing the situation!
So, being here where I am, separated from my lovely Mrs and our four children for over a year now, two Christmas's and two New years eaves etc etc etc....... the days are too long even if it's winter and they just seem to get longer as they pass on by, which give me a lot of time to read posts and to read more posts and to keep reading even more posts.
Kind of helps make the days go by.
As soon as I sell of our house here, I'll be booking the first flight back to Australia. Can't wait for that day.
However, after reading so many posts and clicking on the NEW, TRENDING, HOT and what not, I get to see and notice a lot pf things.
One of the things that stick out like... hmmmm... I'll keep this post as clean and polite as possible..... stick out like antlers on a fully grown dear standing in a wheat field.... see I can be nice, when I try.... well, getting back to the point. The DOLLARS stand out.
Some people may claim that they don't notice, true dat, often enough I read a post and don't even look at the dollar values, however, to say that sometimes when I do notice I don't get the "CHECK THIS OUT" type of reaction....
Being an Aussie, kind of makes the numbers go a lot from what we see at the bottom of our posts, namely $1 USD = $1.35 AUD, so lets say a quick multiplication factor would be 1.33, or add on a third of the figure we see to get an Aussie Dollar figure.
Then if its all at the rates we see currently, where Steem is around about $5 to $6 and so too is SBD, the end result is WOW.... won't even try to define the maths behind it all, but the figures are WAY UP THERE.
So my mind being set on taking care of the family home issue we have, well, the lack of a family home issue we have starts thinking to itself:
" FAR... OUT MAN..... there are people here who have already earned themselves a nice family home via Steemit."
OK, some may say, naaahhhhh.... well numbers don't lie.
Well, I don't care who thinks what, and who may be thinking "yeah, that's just for the people who are in with blah blah blah" numbers do not lie.
Start doing the maths and you'll see for yourselves, there are many people here who have earned themselves a very nice family home by being active on Steemit.
SO IT CAN BE DONE!
& NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT "THOSE THAT HOLD ALL THE SP... blah blah blah....." those "conspiracy" theories and whinging (whining) can be left behind when it comes to crunching numbers.
CAN IT BE DONE?
The answer is: "YES IT CAN"
Don't believe me, WELL THEN GO AND DO SOME RESEARCH AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES.
I'm just going to pop a simple little hypothetical example:
A person who has posted over 500 posts and is at over $500 a post now, has through the course of their blogging on Steemit earned a nice house that is a = nice family home.
OK.... some may say "Rubbish" (= a nice way of saying "BS")
Well, IDK, what the Steem was spent on, not going into peoples personal finances, but there are those who are up to $800, even over $1000, some who can get a couple of grand per post.
Well done to them, and this would = a nice family home (house) in about one years time. Lets not forget that there were earnings per post leading up to these posts with these figures.
So, once you've done the maths and all the relevant number crunching, think about it.
People like myself who need to make a home for the family, in my case "again".... life isn't always fair and no where near a fairy tale for many of us out there, Steemit could very well end up being where it happens!
& NO, this isn't one of those "Steemit is the best" posts. This is something that this old Commodore 64 on my shoulders has calculated with what my eyes have seen for themselves. No "hear say" or "hyped up BS". Just plain old numbers and facts.
Step by step, post by post and I reckon that @millers (our family) shall be able to make ourselves a nice cozy house, nothing big or glamorous, just right for the six of us, girls with their own joint bedroom, the youngest with his bedroom, a room for Chris our eldest child who may come to visit us, or want to live with us when the going gets tough or whenever plus a room for the Mrs and me.... and of course a living room with a couch, for when the Mrs kicks me out of the bedroom..... for snoring too loudly...... or who knows what other reasons!
IT CAN BE DONE!
MANY HERE HAVE ALREADY DONE IT!
So there is no denying it.
Had to share this thought with everyone here, especially as this post is about earning and building a family home for us @millers.
I hope that this post may open some eyes up as to the real potential of Steemit. After all, A HOME FOR THE FAMILY is one of the biggest and best achievements that a family can ever achieve! Everything after that is practically a luxury... but I won't say that too loudly!
Thanks for reading.
Jack
I think a house payed for through steem is a goal that is very achievable! Good luck!
It is a vision that common folk like me and my family need to envision here, this is an opportunity of a lifetime for many people like us.

Yes, sir! Yes you can!! lol..I'll toss my nickel into the pot so hopefully you and your family can be reunited soon :D
I will take your enthusiasm and inspiration and apply it to my own situation and hopefully start to earn a home of my own!!! Happy Steeming <3
The enthusiasm and adrenaline have been building up and when simple maths, adding up numbers and seeing what others here have achieved to date, just makes the vision so much more clearer.
Anyone of us can do it, there is no reason why it can't be achieved.
A family home (house) is something that is one of the grandest achievements a family of common folk like us can achieve and this is a realistic possibility here on Steemit.
Wishing you all success in your efforts to create this reality! Set your intent and go for it!
I know there are people here who earn quite well-- although most of them have been at it for quite a while-- and it seems all you need is a lot of effort and some patience.
Bright Blessings to you and your family!
Thanks mate, I just love to see this opportunity here, the fact that anyone of us can go for it and make it happen.
Beautiful thought
I hope all the best
And wee always with you.
Thank you.
And that's all looking at things with the current value of Steem and SBD. There are multiple predicting $100 as possible this year, but even if you just go with $10 it'd nearly double the current est. value of accounts.
Dude, tell me that this isn't an opportunity of a lifetime for every family out there!
I mean, when I think about it, this is almost too good to be true, yet it is true!
Good article, warm and touching words. Upvoted small but from my heart. Hope you can achieve the goal you want. Followed and resteemed.
Thanks.
Truly, when one thinks about it and then checks out what all has been achieved to date by people here, it becomes clear that we can make it happen, any one / every one of us here on Steemit.
Yes, hope so :) First I need to work hard, read more to have a clues to find out how :) Until then atleast I can upvote for your one :)
It's totally doable like most other things are. Unless basic income starts being a thing though, it's going to be a tough slog like everything else :)
Yeah, reality and Murphy' law do tend to put a few obstacles in the way, but as long as we know where we are going with this and that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a locomotive!
It all makes sense and adds more reason to be true to oneself, family and our cause.
I would be happy if you @millers follow me and upvote
