Saturday Savers 2025 Progress Report - Week 18

Yep, it's Saturday again ! I've taken a break from working on brake calipers to do my weekly #SaturdaySavers update 🙂

Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

Most of this last week was taken up with non-Hive activities, as I worked on creating all the reports I needed for my business for the UK tax year end.

While I was at it, I also worked out what my crypto earnings were in the tax year. I put that in my HPUD post but basically, HBD is becoming more and more important as the main source of income in Hive. That's actually okay, because it means I can think of posting and commenting as more of a social and fun activity, and less as a chore needed to create earnings.

The main event this week was that the monthly HBD interest came in, at 32.508HBD. I'm gradually working my way towards my unofficial 40HBD per month goal !

But I'm having to resist the urge to convert HBD to HIVE, my liquid HIVE is down to single digits. Some of that is because HPUD was this week, and that soaked up most of what little liquid HIVE I had.

I'm hoping to buy a little more HIVE soon, but I'll probably see if I can hold on until the (inevitable) next dip. Apart from that, I've got drips of around 1 HIVE a week coming in. Again, it's gradually growing, but I really need it to get to about 2.5 a week to cover my SBI pledges.

So that was my week.... how was yours ?

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 !
