Saturday Savers 2024 Progress Report - Week 11

It's Saturday ! That means it's time for my weekly #SaturdaySavers update....

For once the weather is dry, so this might be a shorter post than usual, because I can finally get out into the garden and do some work on the bike 😀

Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

Last week was a good one !

Highlights included;

• Getting the payouts for a couple of posts that performed really well, which made the HP gain for the week a healthy 31HP.

• A nice spike in the price of HIVE meant I was able to buy HBD at a great price, using liquid HIVE I'd bought at a price of £0.24 back in January. I'm going to have to watch my liquid HIVE balance carefully though, some expensive car costs mean I'm unlikely to be able to buy any more for a while, and I doubt I'll get it as cheap as it was in January !

• Yesterday was LEO Power Up Day - you can find my LPUD post HERE. I'm gradually getting closer to the point where I can earn enough LEO in a single month that I don't need to buy any to hit the 150 baseline for LPUD.

• I've been able to keep my posting rate up to the initial goal of averaging one a day, although the more advanced goal of 1.5 which I really should be doing to make LEO Premium worthwhile still eludes me. The level of earnings on each post is still incredibly variable. I accept that's just how HIVE is, but it's sometimes frustrating when a post I spend ages fine-tuning earns less than something I throw together in just a few minutes !

• I've let the number of comments I'm making slip. Need to focus on that a bit ! It's been a busy week in the real world, and it's far too easy to surf and upvote without commenting when my brain is fried by work.

• I seem to be increasing my VESTS at a rate which is 0.1% of the way between dolphin and orca each week. If the inflation in VESTS needed to level up is matched by increases in compounding as my account grows in value, I should get to be an orca in about 852 weeks, or sixteen and a half years. I'll be surprised if I get to live to be that old 😁

Overall I'm happy with the gains I made last week, it was a nice solid week where I mostly stayed focused on the goals I've set myself. How was your week ?

If you're not familiar with SaturdaySavers, it's a fabulous initiative run by @shanibeer writing as @sally-saver on the @eddie-earner account, where we all support each other in getting to our savings goals.

If you are one of my friends reading this (or just someone who tripped over one of my posts), I really recommend this as a great community that's well worth joining.

I'm normally very disorganised about saving, and the support of the wonderful people in #SaturdaySavers has been invaluable in keeping me focused. I can honestly say that without it, my HP would probably be half what it is now.

So join ! You don't have to wait until the start of the year. The best time to start saving is ten years ago. The second best time is right now !
