Last year was a big one for me in the aspect of my Hive account. I took loans and powered down to settle my bills and this prevented my account from growing. I had thought by the end of the year 2023, I would have more than 5k Hive Power but I couldn't get there because of the reason above. I had lots of responsibilities last year which took a lot from me. Well, I am still grateful that Hive came to my rescue and I was able to settle those needs including helping myself with Nysc service. The zealy campaign I joined last year helped a lot as I was able to gather enough for a new apartment which I would be getting soon.
When my Nysc service came, I knew it was time to build my account while reducing the way I withdraw from my Hive account. This year, I plan to achieve 7k Hive Power and also to have 500 HBD in savings which I believe would be achieved quickly as I am focusing on growing my account and won't be touching much of my money on the blockchain. I made sure to withdraw enough last year in December which would cover my expenses for January and other things I would want to purchase while I manage the monthly allowance of $33 I will be getting from the government as a youth corper. Apart from this, I was told that the state I am serving in would also be paying corpers $15 per month which makes it $48 on both sides monthly. I believe this will go a long way in helping with my needs and not trying to run to Hive to withdraw every time I need money.
I have some cash to help get foodstuff that would last me for 2 months or more depending on how I eat. By this time, I will only keep growing my account. I plan to always put some HBD into savings every week from whatever I earn from my posts. For the remaining HBD, I will take some and convert to liquid Hive while preparing for bull fun anytime. I also would be buying lots of $LEO tokens in preparation for the Leo Power Up Day monthly. Currently, I have 299 liquid Leo waiting to be powered up on the 15th of the month.
This year is for me to grow my account and see lots of changes. Last year, I already planned things and how my strategy would work once I began working at my primary place of assignment for 11 months. Aside from growing my account, I am removing $5 from my monthly allowance and putting it in savings that generate small interest daily in an app called "Cowrywise" The reason I am doing this is to know what I would have saved by the end of my service year with my consistency.
Aside from this, there is an investment plan my sister introduced me to which I registered on Thursday night and started paying some amount monthly and this will be there till when I am ready. However, I already decided to keep investing in the program called "Arm Mutual Funds Investment" for the long term and this would require me to keep paying a certain amount of money monthly which has been set on automatic deduction from my bank account.
Here is an overview of the investment fund program.
I am so glad taking these steps where I am trying to spread my eggs in different baskets. This is something I am doing for my future so I do not need to be a liability to anyone, especially my husband. I hope to keep doing this for the long term while growing my portfolio and also building a financially stable life for myself. Thank God my sister told me about this last year which I took the step and decision early this year. Right now, I am investing in Hive, saving part of my Nysc monthly allowance and also the investment plan outside Hive. With these, I am more than happy to spread my eggs in different baskets of which we have been preaching about.
This year will surely be great and I am looking forward to a big growth in my account here by the end of the year.
