Good points that I've been considering this year. I realized that there was never going to be enough "savings" to be enough, because I couldn't decide on a reasonable number. Working 3 jobs was killing me, so I quit two, replaced one with Steemit and dumped a majority of my savings (and debt) into Steem Power. I also convinced one investor to delegate some funds. I figured, if I couldn't decide how much savings would be enough, I wasn't ever going to "save/earn" my way into abundance.
We'll see how that goes.
Wow, so you are one of these brave guys that quit their jobs in order to become a full-time steemian?!
Awesome! Hope that it's going to be the right decision for you π€
Hah, well, partway at least! I quit the more onerous of my jobs and replaced it with Steemit. I think I want a little more data before I quit my other job too, but things seem to be looking good since the Bitcoin fork was resolved.
