The Steem Dream

Many people dream of hitting the lottery and living out their days in sins of the flesh. I have similar dreams but not so much hitting the lottery or sins of the flesh, I dream of experiences. A little backstory about my recent path. I work as a property inspector. I make my own schedule, I go to work when I want or not at all. Currently I don't have a license to do my own thing but it's what I'm working towards because the pay is a lot greater when you have your own business. I've fallen in love with this lifestyle!

I currently work fifteen hours a week and it covers all of my expenses but not the way I dream. I dream of being able to work ten hours a week, have a little homestead with some livestock, and be comfortable. The idea of being rich is something I know I'm headed towards but materialism isn't one of my vices. I enjoy the simple things.

The American culture has trained us to frivolously spend our savings on things that don't matter. I'm a huge fan of capitalism but I think of all the pointless consumption I've done and realize my priorities have changed away from this needless spending. I thank my upbringing that I was influenced by so many foreigners that showed me experiences are much more valuable.

Enter Stage Right - Steemit.

Steemit has become quite an addiction to me. It's combining things I love to do and monetary value. I love to write and share who I am and have fun banter with people in the comment sections. Some of my highest paid postings I've acquired were sharing a story from my life. All of the monetary value that I gain goes to my dream.

Steemit affords people with the greatest gift for the lucky few that are successful enough to become a Steem Whale. It allows people to be paid to be themselves.

I hope you enjoy my posts and if there's anything you guys want to see in the Southern Arizona area, feel free to comment. This community feels more like a family every day. Steem on!
