RE: Why I'm Not Quitting My Job to Post on Steemit... YET.

in #steemit8 years ago

I did quit my job at the gun store, but not to focus exclusively on Steemit! I found that working retail is just too much expenditure of time for not enough compensation in money! So I have returned to full-time freelancing, which includes writing, proofreading, blogging, and social media management. It's more money per hour spent, but not as steady or reliable.

Thanks for your reply! Sounds like a wise choice. Do you think you will do your year of traveling soon?

Around January, we had planned to leave the country within 12 months. But now it's looking like it might be longer. :/

Part of my plan is to fix up our house to rental-readiness, to provide part of our income while we are traveling. We have made progress, but so many of the repairs and improvements that need doing are either expensive or very labor intensive. We're still putting forth a grand effort to knock out the list, item by item, but I'm losing confidence that we'll be done by January. I'm actually thinking of doing a series here on Steemit about our property improvements. Maybe that can help pay for more property improvements!

Also, there is some extended family stuff that might keep me tethered down longer than planned. I just keep on believing that it will happen when the time is right.
