Wow, hell of a story I'm glad it's all working out for you now. I have a similar story, I gave up on my job and decided to join a team marketing a game idea but unfortunately, my trust was misplaced and I ended up swimming for my life in shit creek try to survive in Asia on a seriously low budget. Luckily a friend put me on to steemit and I was lucky enough to make enough to get by and now I'm working towards powering up as much as possible and trying to be a bigger part of the community. Your story just proves that it is possible so thanks for sharing and I will join the alliance asap.
