 Context examples 

I never had a flat salary, which looking back, seems remarkable—I worked completely on commission for 16 years. (I started my website within that period, in the last six of the 16 years, and did both to get the site going—you can’t start a new business and quit your day job.) I was the sole provider for my two daughters, put them through the New York City private school system, then college, and paid all their student loans over the course of seven years myself, with no financial help from their father.
