Great to hear it's real for you now. For some reason, till you cash a little out and ACTUALLY buy something in the real world... it seems like meaningless numbers, just doesn't seem REAL! Lol
I hope, one day, you look back and say " I remember once I was just happy to pay the rent with this. Now I ...." :)

You need to exchange your steem to something else like BitCoin or Litecoin. I got myself a BitWala Debit card where I don't have to do a money transfer to my bank. But you can use CoinBase for example and then transfer it to your bank account.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

You can exchange your Steem Dollars on the Blocktrades market by right clicking in your wallet on your Steem Dollars. Choose sell. Blocktrades will open and you can select the coin of your choice. I suggest Litecoin over BitCoin but that depends where you want to send it. Then you need a wallet at CoinBase or any other service where you can get Dollars or your currency of choice. There you can initiate a bank transfer. It is all a bit long but worth it. Best idea is to get one of the many debit cards that work with BitCoin.

Hi @flauwy congrats and that is cool if you want the money right now (or if you just want to show people that yes it is possible to make real $$$ US Dollars with Steemit) but really your Steem will likely be worth MUCH more in a years time if you would hold on to it longer.
Imagine Steem = $20.00 USD

Hi @nandibear, you are absolutely right. And I will hold on to my Steem as much as possible. Althoug I am powering down my Steem Power actually goes up faster than I loose. So I am growing my account while I am financing myself at the same time.
Sure, the money I spend now might be worth a fortune in a few years and I might say: Look, there is me eating a bag of tortillas which is now worth as much as a plane ticket. But I have to live now and Steemit makes that possible. So I will continue to grow steady and burn as much as I have to but no single unit of Steem more.
