Saturday Savers 2025 Progress Report - Week 17

It's Saturday again, and that means time for my weekly #SaturdaySavers update 😀

Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

This was another one of those really normal, ordinary weeks. I love normal and ordinary ! It means no unexpected shocks, surprise bills, or unpleasant crises 😁

Amazingly, I'm still managing to post every day. I've found something which helps is to have a couple of regular series going on, so that I can write the next episode in one of them most days. I actually think that one of the series I came up with is one of my better ideas, maybe I'll rewrite it as a novella at some point and put it out on KDP.

My HP earnings were up this week compared to the last few, although I'm still unlikely to hit my target for the year.

But I did hit one of my annual goals; BBHO. With BPUD (BBHO Power Up Day) last week, I bought a bunch so that I had enough to hit the 150 threshold, and also enough for next month's BBHO. Although the price has dipped a bit, it's not a major crash. So I'm still going to keep collecting them, because it's a project I thoroughly like and hopefully the price will come back up a little in due course. It would be nice to find another Tribe token which actually holds it's value when so many just slide down to nothing !

Thinking about tribe tokens; does anyone know of any other delegations which pay out drips in HIVE or SWAP.HIVE ? I know about @pob.voter and @bee.voter and I know the BBH weekly drip includes SWAP.HIVE. But are there voters for other tokens (especially SCHOLAR, SCRIBE, LOLZ, PIMP, SLOTHBUZZ, CENT or NEOXAG !) which give HIVE drips ? I'd love to find out !

Someone somewhere must have made a list of the various Tribe delegations available and what they pay out in, although I suspect it would be incomplete and out of date almost as soon as it's published !

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 !
