Living for Free....thanks to a divorce.

in passive •  7 years ago 

I had to get creative after loosing half of everything due to a divorce. I did get to keep the house and I turned the house into 2 separate rentals. I also converted my garage into living space.

The two rentals generate enough to pay my ex-wife, pay my mortgage, utilities, home insurance and property taxes. Meanwhile, I live in my converted garage for no cost. I also have a cool truck camper ( small RV) for the occasional get away. I'm also on a motorcycle or bicycle daily for recreation and transportation.PART_1439861497127_20150817_193133.jpg

I'm now a full time ski instructor in the winter and trade options in the summer. Life is simple and enjoyable.

I'll tell you more about my past, present and future if anyone is interested. Let me know : )PART_1423772136952_20150212_131528.jpg07 04 2016 phone photos 005.jpg

Howdy! Just purchased Bitcoin for the first time last night. Feels good! I used Coinbase.com for the purchase. If you have Bitcoin, what route did you take? Also, what other Crypto-currencies do you like? I'm also very curious where Steemit fits into the scheme of things?

Thanks,
Steve
