Our Modern Struggle: Financial Independence

in life •  6 years ago 

I agree with everything you say. I have a real job and have worked my entire life... I have never once been laid off of without work. I make a very nice 6 figure income. But the fact of the matter is I am an artist. My passion is making art but I have never been able to make a living through my paintings so I need to work 8 hours a day managing very large Projects. If I had a Universal Basic Income I could stop working at my job and paint and travel... soon I will get my Pension (after 30 years of continuous work) it will be more than enough to finally paint and travel... I just hope I can remain healthy enough to do so... do you see ? With a universal basic income I could have done this 30 years ago when I was very healthy.

I am inspired by your creative passion! I wish you the best of luck with your artistic endeavors. Like you I have worked the last 19 years. However, I am often reminded of the Bill gates quote real life is not people hanging around in a coffee shop all day not working. (I believe he was referring to friends) I also do not believe that everyone would be as altruistic about doing what they want in life. Some I believe would do nothing more than drink the day away.

I have been working very hard all my life so that I can live and create what I want when I want... I thought I would be a millionaire or Billionaire a lot sooner .... it seems to take a very long time to have enough wealth to be Financially Independent.

Steemit is certainly helping me achieve my goal... between June and December 2017. I had made over $30,000 USD here just sharing my artwork and photography.... I figured if I could make $30,000 every 6 months here that would certainly help me to an early Retirement at 50.... but then Steem fell from $8 to 66 cents since January 2018
