For a person like me who has lost everything due to C19, have struggled for 3 years barely able to put food on the table, I think I have done these unconsciously even until today. I will share my September no buy report later on separate or individual post, hopefully it can encourage people like Cinzia to get some way to make a saving.
About hive budget, it's all back to your mid and long term goal. I plan to hoard HIVE until the next bullrun, so right now I prefer the weekly buy because it keeps me on the railway. Hold up for a one big purchase is a great idea and it can double and triple your profit if you hit the right time and right price but its more like a double edge sword. When we have good amount of ammunition, sometime we easily lured or baited to buy things or invest on new project which is not on our plan with many silly reason such as "opportunity won't knock twice" or "golden/better opportunity".
I agree I find weekly buys easier to manage - I like the routine.
Look forward to your post.
