For third time, I'm going to be paying my rent with Hive. It's an incredible feeling to be able to achieve this and all I have is gratitude.
There's no mincing words, I'd be nothing without Hive. Everything I know about money, management and investment comes from my experiences in this community.
Ever since the days of Steem, when I was just a newbie on the platform, this community has constantly been providing for my needs.
It's because of this platform that I was able to start a life and family. It's also this platform that enables me to provide for my family.
Hive is one of the few consistent things in my life. It is the only place that I feel comfortable with sharing my life.
Even my activities on Twitter, at the end of the day, are intended to bring value to hive. It is all I know about money and so, I never miss an opportunity to show my gratitude.
Paying rent
Would you believe that the first time I actually paid rent out of my own pocket was in early 2020? It was just before the worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns started.
As you can imagine, I was ecstatic and walked around with a chip on my shoulder.
For what it's worth, it wasn't a huge amount but it still felt right. For the first time in my life, I felt like I had a life that was my own.
You see, prior to paying my rent for the first time, as a then 27 year old, I had been living hand to miyth and surviving on an allowance from my parents. It wasn't for the lack of trying but the reality is that there aren't decent jobs available in Nigeria.
So paying rent for the first time, really felt like a huge achievement for me, as a person. Subsequently, I started catering for myself and no longer required an allowance from my parents.
My parents helped me get on my feet and Hive helped me stand firm afterwards. My life continued to improve, as I consistently seeked out ways to improve my finance.
It was in that period that I also started my Splinterlands journey and that turned out to be nothing short of a miracle.
Thanks to my earnings from Splinterlands, Publishing on Hive and freelance gigs that I still do until this day, I was able to carve out a life for myself. In fact, I even got married and now I'm starting a family.
Hive saved my life
I saw a tweet by @theycallmedan that goes "hive saves lives" and I 100% resonate with it. You see, I won't even have a life without Hive.
My time on Hive has been nothing short of miraculous and I honestly can't stop being grateful.
I am grateful for every upvote, staking, token, coin, HBD, NFT, airdrop and everything in between that has contributed to get me to where I am today.
Now I'm on the verge paying rent once again for a moderate apartment, with funds that I earned organically from publishing on Hive. For this I say thank you to everyone in the community.

I know one day I can say something similar.
Actually Hive did help me once for the same purpose you mention. I had to sell some to make the numbers.
Some folks I explain about Hive and they think it is not real.
I wish to know what is real or not.
Keep up!

Congratulations on this wonderful achievement that you have found with your admission to Hive.
Happy to share
There is much more hive will offer you . It's actually your love towards the community and the community's love toward you that made this possible. Consistency makes the impossible possible. The word impossible itself say i m possible. We just need to figure it out how.. and you figured it out. Thanks for being here my friend
I'm just grateful that I am in this position to experience the love from the community. It has been an amazing journey
Yes sir. You inspire us al lot
This is a source of inspiration for newbies coming on board here . It is a marathon race not a sprint on here as I always say . Constant, steadfast dedication and commitment are the fuel to the engine of success on here . Your story right here confirms that . Keep the flag flying ! There’s no stopping you now !!
It has been almost 5 years of grinding and many more years of growth to come
Quite evident! You can say that again !!
You're a prime example of how Hive crypto is literally changing lives.
Not just at the top, but sustainably all the way down to the lows.

It feels surreal just thinking about it
I must admit that this resonates with me. My secret dream is to quit my job and downsize my life, then spend my time writing, trading and building on Hive.
it is the new dream, replacing the great job and self owned brick and mortor business. I long for the day that I can pay my rent in Hive. That will be a day to celebrate.
I am glad you have learned to enjoy the moment and express gratitude for where you are. A grateful heart, is a happy heart, and one which is at peace.
Enjoy

It would be awesome if one day we just buy property and not even have to pay rent. Hopefully our Hive portfolio gets bigger and we can afford to just live off it permanently.
That would be grand. I have heard of early Botcoin investors buying property with their cryptocurrency.
we can hope that in the future, hopefully not twelve years, but the fuutre this will happen here on Hive or Leo!

so cool! It has changed my life too ever since I discovered bitrefill.com :)
Oh wow! This post is so heartwarming, showing us what Hive can play in our lives. Thanks for that peek! Keep thriving! 🦋
Wow, @belemo, huge achievement and congrats on working so hard towards it!!
Same happened to me a while ago, in Steemit platform, I was able to provide for myself with that income and it felt amazing, specially considering that I had done that doing something that I absolutely enjoy: writing.
Great experiene and for many, many more success to come :)
Thanks Phendx, it has been amazing and I'm glad you have experienced something similar

Congratulations!!!
it's time to make a deflation model with HIVE... inflation model will be always decrease HIVE's price
Hive inflation reduces every year. It is tending to zero
I see a price have decreased in more than x10 times. But BTC decreased x3.5
Hive is really changing lives. Congrats man. It's amazing how you can live a good life without having to work a 9 to 5.
Over here, living like this one is seen as unserious especially if they are young. And if they are rich then they are seen as doing something dubious.

Honestly, Hive really does save lives. This reminds me of when I needed to pay my rent earlier this year, I got up to 70% of what j needed to cover my rent from posting on Hive. It felt really good. Congratulations on your achievements here on Hive.
It's a really sweet feeling. Glad it worked out for you too
Thank youuuu😁😁😁
