Of course, the most fortunate among us have the extreme benefit of doing "work" that is enjoyable to them..even "work" they would do for nothing if there were no one willing to pay them to do it. These people are truly among the most blessed on the planet, and they are still relatively rare, but growing in numbers.

As a semi-retired person myself, that is what Steemit has done for me. I have always been an avid blogger since the advent of the internet, but have never made much money at it. Now, that possibility actually has presented itself to me.

Despite, this platform's many flaws, it is the ultimate (currently, anyway) way for bloggers to maximize their "spare time," and make that time serve me and my future.

Steem on!
