Doing the things you love and being independent is the dream for most of us. Reality however is that many people stuck in a 9 to 5 job and with a mortgage to pay it is very difficult to escape from that routine.

Since HF19 (hard fork 19) however I see light at the end of the tunnel and wondered how much SP I would need to live from Posting and Commenting alone using Steemit.com, Busy and ChainBB.
First thing I did was to specify how I want to use my daily voting power.
- Use 20% for myself and 80% for up-voting posts from the community.
Than specify the amount I want to earn per month with self up-votes alone (20% per day for myself) that would cover most of my expenses and mortgage.
- 2000 USD.
With that clarified and the assumption that with the HF19 changes you earn 10 USD per 10.000 SP the calculation showed the following:
To make 2000 USD a month with 2 Full self up votes a day (5 days a week) I will need at least 50.000 SP.
I am now at the half of that amount and will use my post rewards and part of may salary to get to that number. The good think is that I have now a clear vision of what needs to be done in order to quit my day job.
The future is bright if you look at it from the right angle.
