Magandang buhay!
So we are back to reality, after the holiday fever. Hurray, 2026!
It was saddening to see Saturday Savers retire. It's been a motivating initiative, inspiring us to set realistic goals and work towards achieving them throughout the years. From it, we learned a great method of saving through its Penny-A-Day challenge, which some (if not most) are applying in the real world. So thank you, Shani, for all that you did. And here's to wishing you a fantastic retirement.馃嵒
I was glad to learn that its initiative is continuing through Slothly Saving (Savers) Club, which is on its second week now, and I'm hopping aboard, of course!
The truth is, I was not going to set on-chain goals for this year, but realized it would be better to have one or two; otherwise, I would be drifting by without a real direction. Goals, they say, are a map that guides us to where we wanna go.
To share a funny little story, I once had a lofty goal鈥攖o acquire an off-road SUV from my Hive savings. However, that didn't go as I imagined. With the current market situation and prices, it has become more infeasible. Even if I were to go crazy and sell everything, it still would not be enough to buy me a new 4x4. And so we dismissed that dream for the time being, and we shall keep on, enjoying our Hive adventure instead.
Hence, the 2026 goals:
200 HBD on the vault (primary), and 500 liquid HIVE (secondary). Two realistic numbers to kick my arse when I'm feeling lazy, lol!
Anyway, a screenshot of my account wallet via Hivestats, showing my starting numbers (O HBD Savings, and 0.5 liquid HIVE).
I'm still trying to get over the holiday hangover, and finding it a little tough to do, but I'm now excited to add a bit to these two items soon. If you wish to join us on this amazing initiative, check out the latest post. It runs every Thursday (instead of the Saturday we got used to), with the same format (a main goal and a secondary one; weekly update, either through a post using the #SlothlySaver tag; and/or commenting on the weekly main post on the slothbuzz account).
So that's about it for today. Here's to a happy and fulfilling 2026 to us all!
