Saturday Savers 2024 Progress Report - Week 13

about 1 month ago

We're a quarter of the way through the year already, and it's time for my next #SaturdaySavers update ! I don't know where the time goes.....

Here in the UK, the clocks change tonight and we'll get more light in the evenings. If you ever need to recall which way the clock goes, just remember that another word for autumn is Fall, and the clocks spring forward in spring and fall back in autumn.

Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

Well the main thing I've had to do is re-work all my numbers. I discovered an error in a formula in my master spreadsheet at the tail end of last year, where the total included an incoming delegation of 25HP. The overall effect is that it just drops my starting figure and everything else down slightly and (because of the way the formula works) shuffles a couple of numbers when the delegation ended. But it doesn't change the overall picture very much, thank goodness !

Apart from that, it was very much a week of just keeping on keeping on. I've actually managed to keep my posting and engagement rates up to scratch.

Also, I've been remembering to use InLeo Threads a bit more. Combined with gradually increasing my delegation, it's pushing my LEO earnings up although I'm still a long way off being able to cover LPUD without buying any.

Thinking about Power Up Days, it's HPUD on Monday. I've been eating into my liquid HIVE with HBD purchases each time the price spikes, so it won't be my biggest one, but I also definitely don't want a gap on my Hivebuzz screen by missing it !

Here's looking forward to more spring weather, and hoping everyone has a wonderful April Fools' Day ! 😁

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 !
