I buy the idea of working while we are strong and vibrant and not depending on just one source of income.

I love to Hive but sometimes I get exhausted when I am back from work, but because of the love, I find my way around and it's been helpful, it's like a side hustle that comes in handy.

This was a great read, thanks for sharing 

Geographical latitude drastically conditions the need for many families to work for both men and women, and there are those who rush from one job to another or do it remotely; all are valid. I am not comparing the idea that a second job is synonymous with failure, it is necessity.

But sometimes we get caught up in having unnecessary things or living dreams implanted by the marketing of fierce commerce. We forget the essential, LIVING. My father, since I was very young, always told us “never spend the money you haven't earned yet”, I know many people who owe even their underwear.

The common denominator is that we do not know how to enjoy what we have, to live the short years that life gives us, and to prepare ourselves for our departure. We run at a desperate trot to have and have, to fatten our coffers, and when we are buried by chance we take some clothes with us.

### Financial mechanics were made to enslave man rather than to meet his needs.

I think this post is really talking to me. I have missed out on some cool investment opportunities years back which might have turned me to potential millionaire 😔 but we'll life still offer us chances in the future 

I've done work on the side pretty much all my adult life, but it has never been consistent enough that I would be able to make something of it.  Not regularly anyway.  Usually I just put that money into savings.  It's so infrequent that you can't even budget for it.  I understand what you are saying here though.  I agree that many people see needing a second job as a sign of failure.

> there are a lot of people out there who are complaining about the economic situation

I don't blame a lot of people now a days. Pandemic kind of changed me. I used to be nerdy and intellectual who used to assume " they should do this and that". But more I work offline among people, more I realize that non tech people tend to suffer life differently than tech people do. As they are not exposed to solutions and pattern to reach solution the same way we do.

Geez, this article is like an alarm bell sounding in my mind! It's been over 4 months now that I have been without regular employment and it is really started to take its toll on my mental wellbeing. Funds are getting really tight, I am near the end of my personal savings, and I still have no clue what I should be doing with this next step in my life.

I can fall back to teaching in the classroom, but here in American public schools, it feels so self-defeating because the students are set up for failure -- not success. Maybe I should do something in real estate like my grandfather, father, and sister all do in one way or another. Or maybe try to benefit from the master's degree in finance that I barely achieved and never used? I've already spent the last 4 months looking at picking up more copywriting and copyediting jobs since that is the work I had been doing most recently with Cointelegraph and Moon Lvnding, but to no avail have I been able to find suitable work. At this point, I'd settle for just about anything that would allow me to earn $25/hr in the short-term while I figured out this next step. All I hear is that there are plenty of jobs out there for people who are ready to work, but somehow I can't seem to find any of the ones that are right for me. 

Not maximizing my potential is literally the story of my life right now.

I mean People say otherwise, but I certainly feel it

I am glad that I write posts every day. That makes my earning potential much greater. Perhaps one day some whale will notice me.  At least that possibility is bigger now when I don't take breaks.
 Also cool photo.

I'm still building this side hussle here on Hive, although I don't see it as another income stream, at least yet. 
Everything I invest or reinvest from author rewards are not to be touched until full-adoption (ok semi-adoption would be great too 😀). 
I will not touch any of my Hive investments (these are gaming-assets as well as HP/HBD earnings) until the end of the bull run after this one. So end of 2029.
I hope my patience will be rewarded, but my plan is simple.
Build and reinvest.

It's a fact that money is used every single day and unless you got enough money to not care, it's hard to not to worry about money. We might have all lost out on opportunities and I first learned about BTC when it was like $20 but I didn't buy or mine any. The most we can do is move on and try the best we can because nobody likes being financially reliant on their jobs.

> What I have learned since is that not many people are interested in having a second job for additional income, unless absolutely necessary.

I just picked up a side job (minimal pay) for both the experience and a small portion of money. The doc that I'm working under is studying some pretty cool stuff and allows me to be super-flexible in the hours I can put in work. 

I need to work on the problem on other side of the coin. I stack on too much work and when I can breathe I try to quickly replace it with more work.

You're right that we should look our earning potential rather than focus on bullish and bearish, hive is good because we can do at any time at any place there's no boundaries of time. 

I'm amazed to know that you're also take financial support from hive, but your HP is too high, i always think that maybe you never get withdrawal of your earnings from hive...... 😺

The Present bears Witness of the Past, and the Future shall make all things clear...

Well, one thing I know is that we have to be financially stable and we have to work hard to achieve it. Before, I was not financially stable but right now, I am making waves. I am making more posts and working on more platforms. I am earning well and my financial budget has also increased...

The attitude of most of the inhabitants of our planet, who think only of themselves, is interesting. When I make decisions, I think about my son, who is twelve, and his son and their other children... I don't necessarily get everything I want. I consider my son's education to be the best investment for the future that I will not live to see.

It sucks when btc started I had the opportunity to buy a mining machine. I didn't mind the risk of loss, but the potential debt. retrospect plus bad projects .And mistrust in Hive.
