Thank you for your article. I believe that when we are young, we do want "everything" and feel that you shouldn't have to work that hard to get it. As we grow and mature, we change. I have felt these same ideologies. Now at the age of 58, I am working harder than I ever have before. Material things no longer matter as much to me compared to the quality of life.

Now I focus on living comfortable with my needs satisfied and preparing for my future. I no longer have grandiose ideas of physical wealth. "Wealth" is now measured as to the measure of how I have affected those whose lives I touched and impacted. I joined the Steemit community about 10 months ago. I will admit that I do not put as much effort into it as I could, but am developing a base. No, I realize that I will not get rich from it, but do enjoy it when I get the chance and love to read the posts. If I make a little money, great! It is more than I would make from platforms such as Facebook. Also, I feel that the posts have more quality to them than other platforms.
