I decided to join Wealthy Affiliate just a month after leaving my job of 23 years. While I was surfing the net searching for new opportunities, my focus on my search was writing. I saw Wealthy Affiliate, read about it and decided to give it a try. Writing and making money while doing it sounded perfect. The main reason I was drawn to Wealthy Affiliate was for the opportunity to essentially get paid to write. I have spent my entire career as a teacher, but, writing has always been a passion.
