What Would You Buy If You Became Steemit Rich?

I was thinking about my mom today. She taught me the work ethic I have, which has brought me so far in life. I've been called a workaholic. My mom though, she really was a workaholic, not as much anymore since her knees have gone bad. She wasn't always a workaholic by choice. She was a single mother. Her work always made her do a lot of standing, on concrete floors. She worked as a hair stylist when I was really young. The hours were conflicting with her kids school schedule, so she gave it up to work nights in a factory. In the factory setting is when arthritis started setting in. Once the factory shut down, my mom went back to school for nursing. As a nurse, she has worked and sometimes still works up to 16 hour shifts that demand her to be on her feet for hours. Her knees started going bad from her hard work.

As a disability counselor, I've heard the stories and watched grown men cry in my office when their bodies wear out and they can no longer do their careers. As an empathetic person, and being my mother's daughter, I know it must be hard for her to know that her body is wearing out. Some days I've wished I could just win the lottery to help my mother obtain the medical care she needs. As I see my posts pick up on Steemit, I sometimes wonder and hope that I could make enough money to make a difference in my life and those around me. If I became Steemit Rich, which seems more likely than winning the lottery lol, I would buy my mom two shiny pair of new knees (knee replacements). To do that, I would have to supplement her income while she recuperates and also pay for her treatment.

This story isn't for a pity vote, or a flood of votes. I am sure most of us have those thoughts... "if only I had the money," about something. I would like to hear what it is that you think about. If you reached great monetary success on Steemit, how would it make a difference for you, or what would you buy? I hope we all reach great landmarks of success together!
