HI EVERYONE!
It's me again, the guy that is stuck in one of the smaller of the European countries trying to sell of all the family property in a practically DEAD market.
Not to go into naming the country or the economics in the former eastern blocks states and republics, but to cut a long story short, the real estate markets in some of these places are literally DEAD. Deader than any road kill on the middle of the road! If that helps in describing the situation!
So, being here where I am, separated from my lovely Mrs and our four children for over a year now, two Christmas's and two New years eaves etc etc etc....... the days are too long even if it's winter and they just seem to get longer as they pass on by, which give me a lot of time to read posts and to read more posts and to keep reading even more posts.
Kind of helps make the days go by.
As soon as I sell of our house here, I'll be booking the first flight back to Australia. Can't wait for that day.
However, after reading so many posts and clicking on the NEW, TRENDING, HOT and what not, I get to see and notice a lot pf things.
One of the things that stick out like... hmmmm... I'll keep this post as clean and polite as possible..... stick out like antlers on a fully grown dear standing in a wheat field.... see I can be nice, when I try.... well, getting back to the point. The DOLLARS stand out.
Some people may claim that they don't notice, true dat, often enough I read a post and don't even look at the dollar values, however, to say that sometimes when I do notice I don't get the "CHECK THIS OUT" type of reaction....
Being an Aussie, kind of makes the numbers go a lot from what we see at the bottom of our posts, namely $1 USD = $1.35 AUD, so lets say a quick multiplication factor would be 1.33, or add on a third of the figure we see to get an Aussie Dollar figure.
Then if its all at the rates we see currently, where Steem is around about $5 to $6 and so too is SBD, the end result is WOW.... won't even try to define the maths behind it all, but the figures are WAY UP THERE.
So my mind being set on taking care of the family home issue we have, well, the lack of a family home issue we have starts thinking to itself:
" FAR... OUT MAN..... there are people here who have already earned themselves a nice family home via Steemit."
OK, some may say, naaahhhhh.... well numbers don't lie.
Well, I don't care who thinks what, and who may be thinking "yeah, that's just for the people who are in with blah blah blah" numbers do not lie.
Start doing the maths and you'll see for yourselves, there are many people here who have earned themselves a very nice family home by being active on Steemit.
SO IT CAN BE DONE!
& NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT "THOSE THAT HOLD ALL THE SP... blah blah blah....." those "conspiracy" theories and whinging (whining) can be left behind when it comes to crunching numbers.
CAN IT BE DONE?
The answer is: "YES IT CAN"
Don't believe me, WELL THEN GO AND DO SOME RESEARCH AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES.
I'm just going to pop a simple little hypothetical example:
A person who has posted over 500 posts and is at over $500 a post now, has through the course of their blogging on Steemit earned a nice house that is a = nice family home.
OK.... some may say "Rubbish" (= a nice way of saying "BS")
Well, IDK, what the Steem was spent on, not going into peoples personal finances, but there are those who are up to $800, even over $1000, some who can get a couple of grand per post.
Well done to them, and this would = a nice family home (house) in about one years time. Lets not forget that there were earnings per post leading up to these posts with these figures.
So, once you've done the maths and all the relevant number crunching, think about it.
People like myself who need to make a home for the family, in my case "again".... life isn't always fair and no where near a fairy tale for many of us out there, Steemit could very well end up being where it happens!
& NO, this isn't one of those "Steemit is the best" posts. This is something that this old Commodore 64 on my shoulders has calculated with what my eyes have seen for themselves. No "hear say" or "hyped up BS". Just plain old numbers and facts.
Step by step, post by post and I reckon that 
IT CAN BE DONE!
MANY HERE HAVE ALREADY DONE IT!
So there is no denying it.
Had to share this thought with everyone here, especially as this post is about earning and building a family home for us
I hope that this post may open some eyes up as to the real potential of Steemit. After all, A HOME FOR THE FAMILY is one of the biggest and best achievements that a family can ever achieve! Everything after that is practically a luxury... but I won't say that too loudly!
Thanks for reading.
