Saturday Savers 2024 Progress Report - Week 45

Happy Saturday everyone ! It's definitely chilly outside now, and we're moving from autumn to winter on this half of the world. I'm so jealous of all my southern hemisphere friends who are moving into spring !

So I'm sat indoors instead of gardening or working on the bike.... making my #SaturdaySavers update 😀

Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

It was another really great week ! 😀

It hasn't always been easy, but I've kept up the momentum of doing at least one post every day. How long I can keep this up is something I don't know, I'm working on the principle of not putting pressure on myself but just doing each day one at a time.

The impact of consistent posting is definitely starting to kick in, and I earned 72.066 HP last week entirely from author and curation rewards. I think that's my best single week since joining Hive !

HBD earnings were reasonable as well, in line with the HP rewards, although I'm still probably not going to hit the target I set myself for the year.

Following the American election, we've definitely seen a bounce in the price of crypto generally, and HIVE has reflected some of that. It's gradually getting closer to the point where some of my HBD-buys in HiveDex kick in, which would be nice.

But the biggest benefit is that I've seen a few people come back to Hive who went quiet when the price crashed. It's just a small trickle so far, but hopefully it'll be the start of increasing numbers of users.

Additionally, the recent budget and policies of the British government mean that the Pound is struggling to retain it's value despite a small cut in interest rates. This has the advantage that it increases the value of all the assets I've got that are priced in US Dollars - Bitcoin, HBD, US stocks etc.

So that was my week - I hope yours was as good !

Don't forget it's LPUD next Friday 😁

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 !
