Hey how's it going everyone,

I haven't posted in WA for a while, in fact my last post was back in November so it's been a while anyway I am here today to let you guys know what I have been up to recently and my decision to step away from Wealthy Affiliate for a while so here it goes.

I haven't had much time on my hand really to pursuer a career in internet marketing. Recently back in October I got a new job which i am enjoying a lot. however does consist of long working hours 9-6 to be precise. Not only that but takes me a while to get into town so you could say 9-7 lol. Also other things have been happening at home that have just completely taken the time I had to work on my internet marketing efforts.

I join WA back in 2008 I believe not sure exactly of the date but I joined because I pretty much hated my job at the time. I was working in a supermarket, yeah the first year was cool but after the 1st year it started to go really downhill. However saying this i actually came across WA back in 2005 when I was in my last year in school. It was a lesson on what we wanted to do in our adult life's and what career we wanted to chase. Me I had always wanted to be a professional football player (Soccer). Unfortunately I dint work hard enough to archive that dream and that is probably one of my biggest regrets in life. If i could turn back time I would work my ass of literally to get their. My other dream was to run my own business from home. I didn't like the fact of working for someone making them richer whilst I was getting a petty wage. I also wanted to have the power to say when I could have time off and the freedom to do what I wanted and not to be told sorry Josh you can't have the time off to go a visit this place or see family whatever.

So after a few searches online, I eventually came across WA. At the time though I had no money besides I was only 16 at the time and had no job to get money. So i said to myself I will find work get some money and come back to WA in the future. Come 2008 I had the money and Joined WA. Back then It was very very different to what i is today. However I was blown away by the sheer amount of information and the generosity of the members welcoming me into the WA family offering help straight away.

I felt safe and felt that this was the right place for me, so I started straight away to get my first site up. Took me a while but eventually I got the hang of it. It did take me a while to get my first commission but boy when it came I was jumping for joy. It was the fact that this stuff actually works. Anyway i threw up a few more websites and a few more sales here and their. But at this point i was getting loads of distractions (Family problems) And had to stop for a while. At the same time working long hours to get money for other things.

I have seen WA evolve many times and it just keeps on getting better and better. Kyle and Carson do a great job and look after this place well not forgetting Jay an awesome mentor to everyone here withing WA.

As i said, I will be stepping back for a while, my reasons being, well because at the moment I am enjoying my job ( I work with camera and filming) my laptop at home is down and should be getting a mac soon. So this isn't goodbye it's just a break because my dream of having my own business and own freedom hasn't died its burning still.

A few questions if anyone could help me out that would be great

1. Is there and option to downgrade to the free membership if it's still around
2. Can I keep this account aswell, i don't want to lose all my contacts and information etc

Would be a massive help

Thanks
