Huge personal achievement on the Hive blockchain - More than $1000 HBD in savings (2022.02.09)

in LeoFinance3 years ago

Thank you to the huge help and support of the Hive community, I reached a huge personal achievement. Today I reached $1000 HBD in savings. This is huge for me, because my pension-like income for my multiple disabilities is approximately only $250 HBD. And nowadays I also work in a four hours per day packaging part time job, but my total income is still only approximately $470 USD per month, which is still below the local minimum wage, which is approximately $550 USD per month. So I currently have HBD savings than my total monthly income twice.

My current plan is to get to $3000 USD in the next 8-9 months to be able to buy and live in an RV to avoid having to pay the rent and the also high regular monthly bills.

But we will see. Maybe I will use my Hive income to maintain my current rent (if I remember correctly, then @dswigle suggested/recommended doing this, but maybe it was someone else). So we will see. Maybe I will keep this rent in the next winter too. At least I have a feeling of safety in this house.

I am not completely sure that I would have the same feeling, if I would live in an RV, and this is another important aspect, which everyone should consider before making a life changing decision.

Either way, recently I started to receive a very good help and support from the Hive community, and I am very grateful and very happy for it.

So thank you so much to everyone for every help and support.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Congrats! Keep rolling! :)

Within the past half year since i joined Hive i see you are performing on this platform consistently and
its benefits you well. By the end of this year i guess you will be able to make an equal amount as with your IRL things.

Watching your performance might be enough to kick off my consistent posting too, but till now i'm not doing it, although i feel i should.

That would be awesome to make that amount constantly.

It is worth it. For example take a look at @jlufer. Nowadays he is making a living with Hive. He is a great inspiration/motivation for me. I am trying to be very active with posting, with commenting, with curating, with saving. Hopefully one day I wil reach something similar to what he makes with Hive nowadays.

See, you went from complaining about Hive to being an inspiration for others. They see you actively participating and putting in the effort while focusing upon getting ahead. It is not an overnight process but you are much further along as compared to 6 months ago.

I am indeed trying to improve. Because of my multiple disabilities, it is much more challenging for me than for most people, but I am really trying to improve. Both my situation in real life, and my Hive account too.

In addition to my HBD savings, I am also trying to build my Hive Power. Nowadays I am getting closer and closer to 1300 Hive Power. Hopefully I will reach around 5000 Hive Power in the near or in the distant future, so I will become a dolphin, and I will be able to give more valuable upvotes to more efficiently/effectively support others.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

I just followed him, thanks for the advice! :)

That is the key. Keep consistently performing.

Well done! Keep it up.

Congratulations, this already brings you an extra 10 $ per month, all the little bits help, my mother used to say!

This is true. I often transfer a few cents to savings. For example approximately a half an hour I transferred $0.022 HBD to savings. The few cents will add up over time.

That is how the banks traditionally made so much money. People do not realize how much those pennies add up when there are millions of different accounts being dealt with.

On here, we do not have millions but each little upvote does add up (as long as it is above the dust level).

Your mother is wise.

Was, sadly...

Congratulations. HBD is returning 1% per month so I would try to build a decent buffer first before making any changes. At least this way, you have some funds to make changes for anything unexpected that happens.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Of course I am trying to build it, but if there will be unexpected bad things, then I will have to take it all out, because nowadays I do not have emergency savings anywhere else, because nowadays I cannot save money in real life because of living under the local minimum wage. Hopefully this will change soon.

1% a month is more than half of what the 10Y pays in a year.

Amazing when you think about it.

It is not likely that you will get more than 12% curating. You could but I find most do not. Of course, there should be other motivation for curating other than just the APR.

Also, with HIVE you do have the potential that the token price moves up. Hence, it is good to have both. But a baseline of 12% with HBD is not a bad part of a portfolio.

Nowadays my curation APR is less than 12%, so that would give less. There was a time, when my curation APR was around 14%, but I spent a lot of time on curating new content. Thank you for the support.

Congratulations on your achievement!

This is the beauty of this blockchain and community
You get to praise positive thinking and earn while doing it.

Keep it coming !

Amazing the turnaround. The change in outlook is what allowed him to grow.

From one complaining about Hive to becoming as asset on the blockchain.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I am trying to constantly/consistently improve. Thank you for the Beer. I give you some !LUV (if I am not already out of it for today).

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Congratulation on achieving that, this is awesome!

I hope will follow your path soon, I am planning to give Hive my chance to get more passive income in the future as long as active by blogging / writing article on it.

I am trying to do everything is possible to reach a proper, normal life. Thank you for the support.

Contribute your efforts and time to Hive and you will end up rewarded in the end. It takes time and a lot of activity. Consistency is key.

Do that and you will end up seeing your bags grow over time.

Congratulations @xplosive! Your goal and determination is very motivating for me!

Keep it up!

I have $30 in savings and am trying to make it $100 lol, I shall also get there one day!

I remember when I had similar amounts in savings approximately one year ago. I put most of my HBD earnings into savings since then. Often cents by cents. Sometimes I even sell various Hive Engine tokens for Hive, and then to HBD. If you are consistent, then you will reach $100 HBD in savings soon. Good luck and all the best.

You will get there. It is impossible not to. That is the nature of compounding. Once in motion, it cannot be reversed unless you pull the money out or the APR is reduced.

Keep adding to the savings each time you can and it will grow.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Indeed. The key, as always, seems to be consistency!

Congratulations mate. Making explosive moves on the blockchain. $1000 in HBD Savings >> $1000 in bank account.

Or the same amount in Hungarian Forints (HUF) in my case.
Thank you for the support.

Cheers! Make more crypto this year. 10x and then 100x. ✌️

Congrat for your achievement!
It's a big milestone. It's hard to go from 0 to 1000, but it's easier to go from 1000 to 2000.

Thank you. This is certain. The compound interest helps a lot. Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

WOW! This is amazing, and I believe your dream of having an RV is possible as far as you're working towards it...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

We will see. Maybe I will maintain my current rent. Or maybe there will be some kind of better solution. Thank you for the solution.

Hopefully, everything is going to work out as planned by you 😊

Congratulations on your accomplishment! Your monthly income exceeds mine by 170 USD. I hope you succeed in you Hive goal. Blessings!

My monthly income is actually usually only approximately $250 USD per month. This is my pension-like income for my multiple disabilities. Nowadays it is approximately $470 USD per month, because nowadays I work in a four hours per day packaging part time job.

Thank you for the support.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Way to go man. Keep stacking those gems. Cheers

Congrats on your achievement! Hope the card rentals will continue to bring in the DEC too!

So far so good. Nowadays around 11 DEC per day. Thank you for the support.

Wawu!

Bravo👏👏

Such a big achievement you have gotten there. Hive continues to impact our lives on different levels and in different ways.

I hope I can achieve such someday.

Congratulations once again!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The best way is to be consistent with posting, with commenting, with curating and with saving. Basically with everything. Good luck. Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Yeah.

Consistent engagement and posting is the major key for growth here on Hive. We will all win💪💪

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Well done mate. Its great to see you doing so well :-)

Onwards and upwards!

Onwards and upwards!

Towards a proper, normal life. 🙂
Thank you for the support.

That is the ideal. If you can live on the income produced from your Hive savings, then that would mean you will always have things covered.

Also, if you can remain active and keep growing the holdings like you are, then the income produced will keep increasing. That would help to grow the monthly payout even more.

That is the power of compounding.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yes. Thank you to you, I already realized the power of the compound interest. This is why I transfer often even a few cents to savings. Every little amount will increase the growing of the amount of the savings over time. You introduced this phrase (the compound interest) to me, so thank you.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Keep it growing my friend. In a year, if you keep following the same course of action, I will state your holdings will be much bigger than they are today.
