Reconfiguring My Hive Goals to Include a Savings Plan!
In that ongoing saga of realizing that I will need to buy a new computer soonish β€” that would be within about 18 months or so β€” I decided it would be prudent for me to modify my Hive goals to include a *"Savings Plan."*

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWknZk6XnmedmS13GMGkykxucmFz4No1LTAQY6Fi5cAQF/cc0114_onchair.jpg)

I am going to need about 1,000 USD for a new computer, and it would certainly be nice to not have to put *all* of that on a credit card and pay 30% interest!

The *good* news is that I am going to give myself 18 months before reaching a *"crisis point,"* so I have a little time. The *second* good news is that we have HBD savings here on Hive, and it pays that nifty 20% interest, at least for the time being. So anything I set aside will effectively be *working* for me!

Inadvertently, this news is also giving me a nice objective reason to become more regular with my blogging. 

 My **[original Hive goals post](https://peakd.com/hive-150329/@curatorcat.pal/a-look-back-at-2023-and-some-hive-and-community-goals-for-2024)** was fairly modest... but at the time of making it, it wasn't expecting to be buying a new computer.

Seems fitting, somehow, to be saving up on Hive, since a large part of what I use a computer for is, precisely, *blogging!*

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNpTT9AEnqWw5HfpC9mdu1XEZWu1khvwvAMAnkHf9dGs6/cc0200_lookingright.jpg)

So my original goal for this year was to have 200 HBD in savings by the end of 2024. I'm going to up that to **300 HBD by the end of 2024**, and then I'm hoping to get to **1,000 HBD by the 2025 Christmas Holidays**. Maybe I'll use the January 2026 sales to buy the computer!

That's going to require a *lot* of blogging, but if I work diligently, *and* work on engagement and building a following, I'm hopeful it will fall within the realm of reality. Or not. I'm thinking I'll likely have to supplement with other crypto brought in from other ventures, elsewhere.

I suppose it doesn't really matter *where* is comes from, as long as the savings keep building!

So, I'm also thinking of joining the rather popular **#saturdaysavers** initiative. I already own some EDS tokens, and it *is* one of my secondary goals to build up that balance, as well. I'm upping my 2024 goal to have **100 EDS tokens by the end of 2024**, and **250 EDS tokens by the end of 2025**.

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQ5Qd8T2LmDJdg4V7Wh2dozXX9HpW46mo1Ngv8Rpkijpf/ccp_001_hello.jpg)
*Cat on the move!*

On a personal level, it helps me a lot to have *structure* with things I do. If left to do things too much on my own I just end up doing what *all* good cats do: Take a lot of naps, and otherwise get relatively little done!

Not changing any of my other 2024 goals, but I realized I *am* getting a little *"slack"* because I am no longer pursuing DHEDGE and DVS which β€” sadly β€” announced *the end of the road* a few weeks back.

You win some, and you lose some... that's just the nature of crypto, I fear. 

*Thanks for coming to visit, and do leave a comment if you feel so inclined!*

Using Hive/HBD as the savings vehicle helps a little, because it is harder to get to than money in the bank!

You should totally join the Saturday Savers Club!  I've been doing it for a few years now.  Just be sure to let @shanibeer know your goals so she can put you on the savers chart, in the latest @eddie-earner post. :)
