Community inquiry; how can I set up a Steemit savings for my son?

I’ve been here a little over a month, and in that time, I’ve virtually abandoned all my social networks. Some, rather intentionally, but Instagram is still a useful tool in booking shoots and getting work. I realized this afternoon, I haven’t posted anything there in a week […pre-Steemit I’d typically post there at least twice a day]. 

There are so many reasons I love this site, but one word resonates with me since reading the Steemit white papers, and that’s “incentivized”. That part, the founders of the platform nailed. It’s fascinating, even from a psychological point of view, how fast I’ve made Steemit a big part of my daily routine. Reviewing my notes for previous blogs, I’ve written over 19,000 words in just over four weeks.

I’ve just crossed the threshold of 1,200 STEEM POWER, which is probably a laughable achievement to a lot of people, but I can’t tell you the last time I’ve been able to save $1,200USD. I’m a freelance artist, and I’m as paycheck to paycheck as it gets, except without the regular paycheck. I haven’t had a “real” job since leaving the psychiatric hospital in Pennsylvania I worked at in 2010. The inconsistency of my career has always been one of the biggest stressors, compounded by being a single dad. 

A choice to pursue art as a career, you accept the inevitable shortcomings our 9 - 5/corporate friends tend enjoy. Until recently, I was without health insurance for years […thanks, Obama]. I work every day, without fail. No sick days. I haven’t had a vacation in years, but I love my job. Thus, it never “feels” like work. That’s all good, but it’s significantly more complex when you have a little one that depends on you every waking moment  […especially when the work slows, or stops entirely]. I’ve expressed many of these thoughts in my previous post, “When does pursuing your dreams become irresponsible?”.

Steemit is one of those “…it doesn’t feel like work” phenomenons, which is why I spend as much time here as I do. Also, it’s made a monumental difference in my life, and by association, my son’s. I’ve paid quite a few bills and bought groceries from the STEEM I’ve sold. 

I’m very new to crypto, and as I’ve said, Steemit in general is new to me. This fascinating new frontier has me thinking a lot, and it crossed me mind to start an account for my son. Most of the time, I’m an unapologetic optimist, so I see nothing but the potential Steemit has […especially once it breaks to the mainstream, like I recently saw with the billboard initiative in Chicago]. If this is a lasting platform and payouts continue, having an account for my son seems like the perfect way to start a savings for my son. He just started kindergarten, but in time, I’d love for him to take over the account, and begin earning STEEM with his own posts.

I talked with my friend Hive account@mada about this, and although a surrogate account for him is far from impossible, it does have some considerations. I’d prefer to have his own account, rather than  posting his blogs on my blog and sending the earnings to his account. My time will be spent here writing about everything from systematic oppression, to death match wrestling to BDSM; all of which I’d prefer to keep separate from chronicling his alphabet and school pictures. As invested as I am here at Steemit, I’m not as technically savvy or familiar with bots, secondary and tertiary accounts, etc. I’d love to find a solution that works for me, for him and his future. As such, I’m resourcing the Steemit community for any thoughts on how to create this framework while still adhering to the Steemit user agreement.

Interested in any solutions the community may have. Thanks in advance for the help!
