Welp, I told myself NEVER again to powering down.
But it turns out that is easier said than done. I just bought a new PC that I desperately needed when Steemit was going super well and I am as usual insanely grateful but now my payouts are really, really low and I am still disabled and having to cart myself all over to doctor's appointments, unable to work, and still need to pay rent. So, that $2,700 is kind of crucial to my having a roof over my head and food on the table. Powering down should keep my rent paid for 4 full months. Giving me time to invest into my other online businesses and start the process of fighting for SSI.
I am so grateful to Steemit for this entire past year and look forward to more years to come.
I just want all my fellow Steemians to know I will still be here and still continue posting. I do not believe in Steemit any less than I did previously. It ebbs and flows and the value of steem is volatile. It changes, grows, and adapts. This is nothing new. I love the community here and am just grateful to have the ability to power down. I have been hesitating as to when to pull the trigger and with the bills piling up I think now is the time.
Once I get diagnosed properly I am going to start fighting to get SSI. I have several disabled friends who have SSI and one of them gave me the number to her lawyer. I have so much hope right now with medicaid and the possibility of one day having supplemental income to help me through this rough time. If not for Steemit this past year I wouldn't be here. So, thank you Steemit.
