Saturday Savers 2025 Progress Report - Week 33

It's Saturday again, which means it's time for my #SaturdaySavers weekly update.

Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

The big news is obviously the spike in the price of LEO. I have to admit that I didn't see it coming ! I'd wondered why a project that had such long term development at a consistently breakneck pace had seen no change in price for so long. But such a sudden flip was a big surprise to me.

In a single week, the value of my investment in LEO went from being half what I'd spent to being five times greater. The price has dropped back a bit in the last couple of days from a high around $0.24 to a current price of $0.19 or so.

This presents a dilemma; was the spike just a temporary wave of over-enthusiasm, or are we seeing the establishment of a new range ? Should I convert some or all of my liquid LEO into SWAP.HIVE, or am I better off holding on and hoping we see further price increases ? I can't make my mind up, but I accept the risk that I might miss the wave. The difference is that if it can happen once, there's a possibility it could happen again even bigger.

Other than that, Hive has just plodded on for me in a nice steady kind of way. I'm posting regularly without feeling the pressure to put something up every day. I think that helps the quality of what I'm writing.

I'm curating every day, but starting to feel like I might have to drop my vote percentage in order to spread the love a bit further. I'm following so many people who create quality posts that I tend to run out of vote power before reaching the end of my notifications. More importantly, it doesn't leave me enough vote power to wander around Hive and upvote interesting things I discover from people I hadn't spotted before !

So that's what my week looks like - have a good one, everyone !

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 !
