right now at the level you and i are at there's no point in trying to reserve your power. you'll be much better served yourself as well as be doing a better service to the community if you just throw votes around to all the content you find desrving. it will keep minnows and new users engaged and motivated and also you'll get some reciprical support as well. thats worth a lot more than saving your power and having an extra nickel to vote with.

Well, I'm just trying to figure out what the difference is.
Right now I can give $0.07 per upvote, but I also paid into getting that little extra oompf for the week. We'll see what I can do next week. But, it does make a difference. During HF19, I was upvoting like crazy and it didn't amount to $0.01.

Yeah I bought myself from 250 to 500.
