Saturday Savers Club Progress week 28 - including hitting my annual goal of getting to 100 SPI !

Its week 28 (15/07/23) of my savings focus for 2023 with the Saturday Savers Club which I think is a great Hive community initiative run by @shanibeer writing as @sally-saver on the @eddie-earner account.

My main focus this year is HP, and methods that contribute to that.

Weekly Stats

Weekly commentary

• My weekly gain was +101 HP which is pretty darn good for me. I'll happily take anything over 100, even if its just by 1 !!! Although, its surprisingly below my 12 week rolling average of 112 HP,
• My HP total is 5814. This time last year I had 1242, so have gained 4572 in the year,
• I need a further 4186 HP to hit my 10K target, which at 24 weeks to go requires 173 HP per week (up 3 per week). It will be tough for me to hit this, although I've not moved any gains from HBD/HIVE trading into HP yet, so will see what happens later in the year,
• I added another 45 HP to my delegation to @eds-vote to help with my annual EDS target. I now have 1480 HP delegated and its making a nice difference to my weekly EDS income (1.19 EDS this week from the delegation alone),
• My Hivestats weekly author reward was +142 HP which is high for me - I had a few nice performing posts again, so was pretty lucky,
• My Hivestats weekly curation reward was +2.84HP, which is about where it should be,
• I'm saving up some liquid HP to buy more DBOND when the 1st batch goes up for sale on the 16th of July (tomorrow !). I'm enjoying seeing the daily DAB, DBOND and HIVE payouts, so am looking to buy further into the project,
• I gained +0.729 DAB and +1.658 DBOND in drips, this week,
• I've just hit my annual target for SPI, and now have 104 - these have preformed great over the years, so if that continues I'll be pretty happy about it !,
• In terms of annual targets, I've now hit my ARCHON, SPI and DHEDGE targets and am on track to hit my DBOND and @eds-vote delegation targets. My HIVE target will be tough,
• HBD:HIVE trading - There was some great movement on the price of HIVE this week (ranging from nearly $0.32 to $0.39), due to quite a lot of bullish statements around BTC funds and the XRP case. Accordingly, the price bounced into my trading range, and my pre-set trades started going through. I had 47 trades go through in total which was very nice, noting I've had weeks of very little movement. However, % gains were fairly low, as I'm at the low end of my trading range. However, every single trade was at a profit - which is great, even if for small gains - cant complain at all, and heres hoping for more !!

Plan for the coming week

• To continue to make sure I post daily to ensure daily HBD and HIVE author rewards,
• To be active in HIVE Blog curation to help with HIVE curation rewards,
• To continue to increase undelegated HIVE in order to improve HIVE curation rewards,
• HBD:HIVE Trading - will be keeping a close eye on prices and doing as much trading as I can while the price of HIVE is in my trading range,
• To keep taking regular profits (weekly and monthly) from some other token income streams to fund investment in other opportunities. I will be using this to buy DBOND over the coming weeks, and Leader NFTs for the game REALM on WAX,
• To continue to produce articles for the @SPinvest account, which provides SPI in return,
• This weeks delegation of 33% of my weekly HP income (+34 HP) will be going to @eds-vote, and I will continue to do that until I hit my target delegation of 2k,
• To keep building up my layer-2 token passive income stream via staking and delegating,
• I will be selling HBD payouts from posts for HIVE in order to by more DBOND in the sale which starts tomorrow. I'm quite liking the project, so will keep buying more for the next few weeks,
• To keep building my gaming income streams particularly on Rising Star and Realm. I also started using Archmage for Splinterlands this week, so will be looking to grow that too,
• And making sure I use the #archon tag in posts as that generates archon payouts which helps towards that token which is a target for me at the moment.

In summary, it was a very good week - nice HP gains, it was great to hit my SPI target and I've been enjoying seeing DAB and DBOND doing their thing !

And as a reminder:

• Its LPUD today (Saturday, 15th July) - unfortunately I dont have enough to join in today, but will next month,
• The first batch of DBOND should go on sale tomorrow (16th July),
• This weeks #saturdaysavers #topauthors announcement post and poll went live on friday - so getting voting !. We are looking for inciteful content that shows how you are saving, growing and investing - the winner each week gets 60% of the announcement post payout - so its worth it ! There are also HSBI rewards for all other contenders - everyone is a winner !
