There is this popular saying in my culture, “Do not use all your ten fingers to eat.” And there's this thing I have learned from ants: they always save for the dry and rainy season. And that applies to a good farmer too. A very industrious farmer will never eat all his harvest because he will keep some and save some to plant for the next season. And I have also been applying the same principle here on Hive.
When my rewards drop after seven days, they split into two, Hive power and HBD, but currently it's Hive. I don't touch the Hive Power not because I don't wish to, but because I have been leaving it there for the future, and that is how I have seen some people do it too. I have seen the end result of those who used all their ten fingers to eat. And I have also seen how some people spend their hard-earned money in just a few days, and they have to start from zero again, and that has become a cycle for them, which can be very exhausting.
And on the other hand, because it's a two-way street here. I have the liquid Hive, or HBD, which I sometimes convert, not always and not carelessly. But I turn it into cash when need be. I mean a genuine reason for me to because, to me, I prefer to use my money to buy something than to borrow from someone; it kind of gives me that dignity and avoids seeing it finished. When I look at it, when I work for something and I earn it, it feels completely different from going around begging and owing and looking for a means to pay back.
So, like I said, it is a two-way street for me because I am neither fully converting everything to cash nor fully powering up. So since I joined this platform, I am doing nothing new and nothing old-fashioned. But it's of necessity in a way that I am stretching what I have to cover today while I am still keeping something in my wallet because of tomorrow. Though it might not look like a perfect way to go about it, to me, it is real and very honest. And it's also mine.
