How I stumbled into this

I am a 71 year old man who retired from work life at the age of 63 on the last day of 2017 because I noticed myself that I was not functioning in my job anymore. Recently I started playing games and answering surveys on my iPhone to earn some money. I don’t need the few dollars I make per week, but I enjoy making money sort of “out of nothing”. In fact it has been a dream of mine to just sit in my home office and take in passive income from investments and become money-rich. Deep down I saw this as the way out of doing my existing real-life job - which I actually liked most of the time, but I worked way too long hours in the constant fear of not being good enough and losing my job - at the expense of quality time with my wife and daughter. Today I saw Jim Ebbelaar’s advertisement. This challenge comes at a perfect time for me. I recently had an open and difficult talk with my daughter, in which she explained to me - in a non-confrontational way - a lot of bad stuff I was doing to her and my wife over the last 4 decades without even being aware of doing something that affected both of them very negatively. I am now extremely thankful that they have not abandoned me, in spite of all the hardship I caused.
