Wow, very awesome that you have been able to meet your goals. I understand what you are saying in the beginning there. I have seen that happen myself and it is very sad. I think it is important to have something else you do that helps define your life outside of work and home. Even volunteering will give you something to fall back on should the unexpected or unfortunate happen.
I wish you much luck with your future en devours. @steemonboarding is going to be really awesome and it should help to bring a lot more active people to the platform which is what we really need right now!
