Stacking and saving HBD or Hive Backed Dollars the Hive stablecoin is a fantastic means of saving with 20% APR while we still can.
A spring in the step with SSC week 9
Hello Hello Savers
It's Saturday well actually it is Monday.
I did take a snapshot on Saturday so that I could check on my savings goals for Hive and making my contribution to the Saturday Savers community.
Yesterday actually felt like spring! We had the most beautiful blue skies, so at 9 we left for a walk in the woods and to the local lake. If felt so good getting sun on my face even if it was still fluffing cold!
The lack of spring flowers just showed what a lack of sun we have had this winter.
But back to the business in hand ....
What is Saturday Savers?
Saturday Savers Club is for anyone who wants to save in any currency for any purpose. The Club is a supportive group of people who meet up around the weekly post, usually on a Saturday but occasionally on a Sunday, to share tips and techniques and have fun in the process.
I won't say anymore except guide you to Saturday Savers Club with @susie-saver | Year 4: 2024 Launch and FAQs | Everyone Welcome | EDS for Comments
So basically we make two goals. 
Plus of course congratulating and encouraging fellow Hivians.
I'm still not sure how I will be tabulating my progress on my goals this year, so in the meantime this is what you are getting!
UPDATE ON MY SATURDAY SAVERS CLUB GOALS
My Primary Goal ~ Become an InLeo lion
The main one is to become a Lion! This means having a Leo Power of 15,000. I started at 7.5k so that means doubling it.
This means having a staked Leo bag of 15,000 tokens, this was roughly double what I started with which was 7528 LP and now I am 8275 LP.
This week I had an 18 Leo Power increase.
This was due to my HP delegation to leo.voter you receive staked LEO as a reward.
I now have over 150 liquid $LEO for the next lpud so will be staking $LEO daily henceforth.
Secondary Goal Saving 700 HBD
I can't stress how much fun this is, especially if like me you are so not a saver!
This year I intend to have a goal of 700 HBD.
My reasons for choosing HBD as the currency are twofold:
1 In these turbulent time, putting savings into a stablecoin you know you are minimising your risk against market dips.
2 One HBD will always be one dollar's worth of Hive, no matter what happens to the price of Hive.
2 Currently we receive 20% APR on our savings!
The reason I wrote 700 is that I will participate in the penny savings challenge. and with accrued interest I will should hit 700 HBD.
That is the chart you can follow, and you can see for today I should be at 19.53 HBD. so let's go check ...
As we can see I am on 22.5 HBD
☑️ Yes I am 100% on track! So far so good!
In fact I am ever so slightly ahead! That will make Mrs T happy!
I know from experience how hard it is doing the savings weekly especially later in the year, so if you can get a head start so to speak you have more chance of hitting that goal later on!
To keep things interesting, I am saving this HBD in my (not so) secret account 
By doing the penny savings challenge you will accumulate 671 of the token you are saving. As I chose HBD the interest accrued will top it upto 700 HBD.
Token Goals
I have not decided which tokens to track from Hive this year. If I don't make up mind by the end of February then I shall not report them!
I have been trading tokens on Solana and Cosmos/IBC and just created an Airdrop Alpha community here on Hive. There is so much going on at the moment, that just sitting in Hive we can miss out.
March is here and so this section on Token Goals will be dropped from my weekly report.
HP fun goals
But for the sake of fun, I am going to make two HP goals!
- Main account (
) HP growth from 7370 to 10750 HP, that is a growth of 3380 which is 65 HP per week.
This week it is sitting at 8053. (+91). This is 26 above my goal. - Alt account (
) HP growth from 911 to 2000 HP, that is a growth of 1089 which is 21 HP per week.
This week it is sitting at 1201. (+23). This is 2 above my goal, over double!
The two HP goals are both ahead!
A double milestone achieved!
My main hit 8k HP and this alt clicked over 1.2k KP!
I might actually make my HP goals this year!
