Oh I sooo wish I could save. I found Steemit at the perfect time in my life. My girlfriend, @cryptomomma, is about to have our son, and has taken maternity leave from work which unfortunately is unpaid.

This leaves me working my tail off to make ends meet. Insert Steemit. Now I'm making a few extra dollars to supplement my paychecks.
With the debit card I got from bitpay.com, I'm easily able to withdraw my earnings, convert them to bitcoin, and withdraw cash for rent or groceries.

I've thought about starting a crowdfund effort to push me through my struggle, but don't much like the idea of panhandling. So for now, I'm slowly building an audience, earning more and more each day. I hope to eventually replace my day job with Steemit, but it seems pretty far away.
