I’m one of those guys who has an account worth $500-1000. I’m Canadian as well, so US dollars are worth more to us.
I got away from posting a while after I joined Steemit. I found the Steemit to be hard to master, and I had a young son to take care of on top of working 45-50 hours a week. I knew I had to find time to get back on Steemit, and so far, I’ve liked it so much I deleted my Facebook app!
