The holiday is over.

This has been a lovely break since quitting my job in November and then taking a bit of work in the buildings for a few weeks before a very extended break for the new baby.

life is calling though and the renovation job still needs to be finished. I called in to see how progress was going without me and the first question was, "How busy are you?", "Could you do a few days".

It's hard to turn down a guaranteed wage. It's been a great year in crypto so far but the prices have gone stale and I sold a lot of my options to buy the new car last week. I really don't want to sell any more right now

Plus i've gotten a bit lazy over the past few months and a bit of physical activity won't hurt me at the same time.

It's not the right time when i'm trying to build up my portfolio and build up my passive income sources.

It's hard to hit 250K HBD if i withdraw 500 a week for living expenses. So I need to keep earning more fiat to supplement my crypto for another while yet.

That's not a bad thing to accept as my portfolio just isn't enough yet to sustain me fully and to survive a bear market if we do hit one.

This isn't a long term fix but just a little bit of work to sustain me recharging my holdings.

It's important to accept that i will need more savings than i have right now and work harder to change that.

I can't complain as it's been a great year so far and i could survive for the rest of the year by draining all of my accounts but that won't help my long term planning.

Hive, HBD, Splinterlands, Leo, CUB all building up nicely to sustainable levels. Levels that will pay out about 3k a month in interest which won't be easy to do but worth shooting for over the next five years.

Long term goals.

My long term goals remain the same and hopefully I can get there sooner rather than later.

Build my main few stacks, and compound the shit out of them over a number of years. Then get rich slowly from the build up of interest in those accounts.

This is just the HBD expectations alone over the next ten years and that's just going on my current course. I have a few ideas to speed that up a bit.

But I like the look of it anyway. It's good to have goals and targets to aim for. It's even better to smash them out of the park.

THat's why getting back to earning a wage can only be a good thing for the future. Life has gotten a lot more expensive over the past twelve months and having a crypto retirement fund is necessary for survival.
