2022 Goal Review: 3 out of 4 ain't bad

Here we are, less than two weeks from putting another miserable year behind us. The last few years have not been the greatest time to be living on this planet, but what are you going to do? Still beats the alternative. From the "pandemic" to vax-shaming to now the fallout of all the political mismanagement done by people who care more about staying in power than actually doing anything to help their populations. Fun stuff.

But, all that said, the world keeps spinning which means the sun keeps coming up every 24 hrs or so and things still need to get done. Time to look back on my goals from the beginning of the year and see how I did.

2022 Goals

Hive Power

My first goal was: 50k HivePower

With the recent tanking of the crypto markets, including Hive, I have just today bought enough to make sure that goal will be achieved in the next 11 days. I started with around 25k and grew my HP steadily over the year with a couple of strategic buys to help along the way. With todays dip down to 26 cents, I was able to make one final purchase that puts me at 49,960HP. Even if I do nothing the rest of the year, the interest alone should get me there, so I made it. Yay! Next stop, Orca territory....

Leo Power

My second goal was: 50k LeoPower

This one I reached a couple months ago. I started the year with around 30k LP. Again, with the bear market we're in, prices have come down far enough that it doesn't take nearly as much fiat to acquire significant chunks. There were a couple times during the last few months where 1 Hive would get you 8-10 Leo. I used those times to add a bunch and I have now reached over 65k LP. 100k is next.

CUB

My third goal was: 10k CUB

This one turned out to not be very difficult. With the price dropping to 2 cents, 10k is only $200. I started with 7000 CUB so it wasn't much of a stretch to get the last 3k. I'm actually closer to 20k CUB now and I've got it locked in earning more every day. I'm still debating what I want to do next. At these prices, it really feels like I should load up a bunch more but...we'll see.

HBD

My last goal was: 25k HBD

This goal was a complete miss. In fact, I used the last of the HBD I had saved to buy the Hive I needed to reach goal number one. I don't feel badly about this however. In my mind, the time to be saving stablecoins is not in the depths of a bear market. I actually had this up over 6000 at one point this year, but between Splinterlands and wanting to take advantage of the low prices on Hive, I decided to empty it out and use it to buy things on sale. If and when the markets recover, I can hopefully power down like 10k Hive (or less) and get 25k HBD at that point. Or, better yet, I can focus on just saving it now that I've reached my "minimums" of the above tokens and build up another nest egg I can use when the next bear comes around.

Progress Reports

Anyway, my plan was to do monthly updates on this but I got very busy in real life and never got around to it. Now that we're at year's end and things have slowed down a bit, I thought I'd do an end-of-the-year recap and see where everything stood. It is really amazing how far I've come. At least tokens-wise. I'm not sure the value has changed very much. But, as I said, if and when the bull comes, I will be in much better position to actually lock in some profits without decimating my account. I can't wait.

The Future

In the meantime, I've got a couple weeks to mull things over and come up with new goals for 2023. As I said in my original goals post, I highly recommend people do one of these. Whether anyone reads it or not, at least YOU will have it to look back on and track your progress. It helps make you accountable to your own personal goals and gives you a measuring stick to see your progress and whether what you're doing is working.

You know what they say: failing to plan is planning to fail. Get something down on the blockchain. Five years from now it will be very interesting to look back and see where you were and what you were thinking. At least I think it will be. :-)

So now the planning stage begins for the next 12 months. I think I'll be adding a few more tokens to the list as well as some Splinterlands goals....

Good luck and we'll see you in the new year with my 2023 goals post.

Thanks for reading!
