I am a stay-at-home-wife (two years and counting) so I am very fortunate to have a husband who works his job (70+ hours a week right now). When I discovered steemit just over a year ago, I planned on using it as a way to contribute later to our retirement and, hopefully one day 5-10 years from now, to buy our forever piece of property to retire to.
I had no grandiose plans of making it rich here... but to utilize the crypto world as a means to add to what we already have in our savings account, towards our Golden Years and maybe for some fun later in life.
I think that's a solid plan and approach to Steemit. You're definitely in this for the long haul when you mention things like "5-10 years", and I think it's an awesome gameplan.
Just imagine how cool it would be to see Steem at $100 5-10 years from now when you've been able to harvest a ton of Steem during that time... :)
Oh trust me.. I have daydreams about steem hitting all-time highs just as we're about to find that 20-acres further north.
