Saturday Savers 2024 Progress Report - Week 30

I'm late again with my #SaturdaySavers update 😌

But for good reason; I was away for the weekend, and came back to a weekend's worth of work to catch up on. It's finally done and I can get on with the fun stuff 😁

Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

This was mostly a pretty good week ! There are a couple of items which are under target, mostly my posting rate and HBD.

I've got a plan for HBD, but I'm starting to face the fact that until I can retire from real life stuff like working I'll never be able to post as prolifically as I'd like. But on the up-side, I had a couple of really well-performing posts over the last couple of weeks which have helped boost HP earnings.

HBD should get a boost in 2 days time when the interest comes in. I've also set up a series of trades in HiveDex so that rather than trying to pick a time when the price is right (and not just miss it because I'm busy doing something else), it'll just automatically buy when the price hits the points I've specified. Of course, it relies on the price of HIVE getting up to those levels ! Assuming all the orders I've stacked up go through in due course, it'll get my HBD DCA schedule back on track.

There are two targets I've already hit; LEO and SBI's. Rather than setting new targets in-year I'm just going to keep going on these and see how much over it I get. That should then give me an idea of the kind of goals I should set for next year.

I forgot to increase my delegations this week, so the increase is all down to natural inflation. But both are a little over target, so as long as I keep increasing them most weeks and monitor the situation I should be all good.

That's it for now... we're got a most uncharacteristic heatwave here in the UK right now, so I'm going to try and find somewhere cool to sit....

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 !
