slayerkm & cesmak,
I am not using STEEMIT (yet) to fund the life, you describe, but it is definitely possible. The important thing to realize is that it can cost a lot less than people seem to think. Here in Cuenca, Ecuador, the rent on my nice 3-bedroom apartment is $400/mo. Groceries run around $100, and so on.
Maybe it is time to sell the house and pay the bills and get on that airplane!
