Way to go @darnscotty once you settle and find your path on your own you will never look back.
Being retrenched way back in 2008 I have never looked back, the decision was made for me, life is exciting with a lot to learn, way more than that daily grunge work.
As Stephen said, don't put all your eggs in one basket and enjoy your new adventure, life is too short not to!
Wow, you were put into an awkward position and it seems to have turned out for the better for you? I do have the stress of meeting some month end payments, but I did save up some money. In the post I did say that I am going to diversify a bit and spend my time on 2x Steemit channels, Etsy shop and crypto videos.
I am glad to see that it does work out at the end, I will have to put the ground work in first. I will most probably try to find out a lot from the Discord channel about Steemit and how it operates now. Any tips are always appreciated!
