Now that I am a big boy and know better how to keep my funds flowing/working for me, I am powering up the HIVE I got sitting around now (i did a bigger power up earlier) AND I am staging the next power up by buying some SOL at my exchange, to later swap to HIVE. (it takes a week to settle before I can withdraw from binance so..)
Its so much less stress and chasing the money around if u do it this way. I know its not always possible to have all your funds on the 1rst of each month like this, but whenever u get paid, etc. Always put your money to work for u through investments or cutting down bills, etc. to save on interest.. then, u can just transfer money from those other accounts (such as ur hive wallet) if/when needed. This also cuts down on so much stupid spur of the moment spending since it takes several days to get the cash out.
