I recently learned about SBI and have restructured my budgeting strategy to take advantage of it. I have temporarily changed my settings from 100% Power Up to 50/50, in order to have unbound STEEM for buying SBI. I have been choosing people who comment on my posts as the accounts to sponsor (although I have thusfar refrained from advertising this too blatantly).
Through delegation, I use my SP to build a source of sustained residual income. It would be madness for me to power down for any but the most dire reason.
I am glad to hear that, even with the price of STEEM as low as it is, you are able to use this platform to pay your living expenses. It increases my hope that I will some day be able to do the same.
