Me
When I first started shaping this idea — from concept to creation — I had to ask myself what I truly wanted to get out of it. Not in terms of money, but in meaning.
My time isn’t something I measure in dollars. What matters to me is purpose — having something to build, something that challenges me, and something that gives others enjoyment or value along the way. That’s what this project is for me: a way to stay busy, stay creative, and share something that feels worthwhile.
At the same time, I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just about me. I wanted a system that gave back — to those who supported this project, believed in it, or simply wanted to see it grow.
So I decided on 10%. That’s my share, no more, no less. It’s fair, it’s simple, and it leaves plenty to go around. The rest flows back into the cycle — through the donation fund, the share account, and the Lifeline Tokens that reward the people who helped make all this possible.
The important part is that it’s transparent. Nothing hidden. You’ll be able to see exactly how every percentage moves and where it goes. Whether it’s from the store, the stories, or the support this project receives, the balance stays the same.
If you’ve made it this far, you already understand what As It Was Now And Then is really about. It’s more than stories or a website — it’s an idea that grew from wanting to do something good, something fair, and something that might just make a difference.
Everything you’ve seen here has a purpose. Every page, every plan, every part connects back to one simple goal — creating something that gives back more than it takes. That’s why I’ve been open about how it all works, where the money goes, and why everyone involved should share in the rewards.
I never set out to make this about me. It’s about all of us — the people who see the vision, believe in it, and want to be part of something built on honesty and purpose.
So if you’ve followed along and it’s made sense to you, maybe this is your moment to join in — to help it grow, to share the idea, or simply to believe in what it stands for.
Because together, we can make As It Was Now And Then more than just a story — we can make it something that lasts.

No place like it.
I guess you could say this is my way of building something honest — something that gives as much as it gets.
There’s an old saying: give someone a fish and they’ll eat for a day — teach them to fish and they’ll eat for life.
In Summary
What I’m trying to do here is simple — and fair.
The idea is to create an income where I personally receive only 10% of the total earnings. The remaining 90% is given away, distributed exactly as outlined throughout the page markers — supporting the Share Account, the Donation Fund, and the growth of residual income through investments.
At the end of each financial year (from 1 July to 30 June), everything is balanced and transparent. If any profits remain after expenses and tax are paid, those profits are also deposited into the Share Account, helping it grow and continue generating income for the future.
It’s all about creating something that gives back — something built to last.
