Hello all! Wow, almost Xmas, almost the end of the year. This is, in fact, the second to last Hive Goals post for the year.

Anyway, another week and it's time again to do another #myhivegoals post, a series idea started by started by Hive account@jongolson. This also doubles as my weekly progress report for #saturdaysavers, which is a fun little group that tries to motivate everyone to save and reach their goals. I'm going to look at the progress I've made on my Hive goals, as well as give a few tokens I'm looking at right now. If you are here for the comment SBI giveaway, well, we'll get to that too.

Let's start with my Hive goals.

~ Hive & HBD ~

My current goal is 25k Hive.

This past week I made 177.72, bringing me to 21140.65 total Hive Power. That's 84.6% of my goal!

Math time. 25k - 21140.65 gives us 3859.35. Divided out by the days till the first of next year, we get 275.7 Hive needed per day to reach 25k by that point.

Hmm.... any wealthy readers want to donate to a writer in need?

Can I at least get to 22k? That's a little more interesting. Maybe!

~ BRO, PIMP, & LGN~

I already hit my LGN goal and am not actively buying any. I haven't even checked the charts in a few weeks, so I could be missing all kinds of deals.

Holding over 2k LGN feeds into my PIMP goal by getting me more PIMP votes. With that help, I made I made 386.705 PIMP last week, putting me at 61676.1 — 61.7% of my goal.

And finally, BRO. Last week I bought and earned 1.151, which puts me at 524.2 total or 52.4% of my goal. I don't know why I bought some. Just an itch. I haven't bought any in so long, I kind of wanted to.

~ Silver ~

I did find some silver to stack this past week. I picked up this guy:

Gotta love maple leaves with their classic simple design. Another ounce of silver added to the stack!

Let's look at the charts

Not at our peak, but not threatening $20, so it's looking not too bad.

~ HSBI Drawing ~

That stuff out of the way, let's do our SBI drawing! If you are new here, I give away 5 shares of SBI every week to commenters on this post. If I get under five commenters, I try to divide it up as best as possible, and if I get over five, I do a random drawing.
