Hello Everyone,

Happy New Year 2022! This year is going to be great!

Today we have a round-up of the year, with the winner of Guess @susie-saver's HP on 31 December and the final challenge for 2021 - your nominations for Saver of the Year 2021!

Hasn't it been good in 2021? Did you make your savings targets? And we had a lot of fun along the way. I've put together links to all the posts from 2021 below, so you can go back and check all the savings tips shared by members and remember the high spots. Mine has to be Jeff Bezos in Space, which happened the same week that El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as its national currency.

But we also had some fun with the no-buy month in September (I reckon some of the biggest savings were made then), not to mention Bitcoin Pizza Day in May and October Side-Gig month where members shared lots of knowledge and expertise.

I've just been watching crypto predictions for 2022 and it looks like we're in for a rollercoaster ride this year. It's a great time to be here and building your stake, it may be a little hair-raising at times, but hey, we're building a crypto buffer through the Saturday Saver Club, so we'll have some resilience for the inevitable turbulence!

So how did we do this year? Well, @susie-saver, the savings account for Saturday Savers Club, put away a tad over £670 ($890) in Hive and ended the year with 1215 HP, worth approximately $1,896 or £1,422 at 31 December 2021. The account also had 65 EDS and 5 EDSMS, worth about $175 or £130. Not a bad year's work! 🤑

Guess @susie-saver's HP on 31 December: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

This was a close run thing with six Saturday Savers coming in very close range to the final result: @riandeuk at 1204, @ericburgoyne at 1206, @tokutaro22 at 1208 and @jfang003 at 1210 and just past the winning amount was @justclickindiva at 2020 - excellent predictions!

The winner was @lammbock with 1213.4 - how close is that???!!!
Congratulations @lammbock - check you wallet for some SPI goodness and thank you to everyone who took part!

Saver of the Year Award

Our last challenge for 2021 - for the chance to win EDS tokens, nominate your choice for Saver of the Year Award in the comments.

Thank you for joining us in Saturday Savers Club in 2021 and look forward to seeing you this year. There will be a new post about the 2022 Saturday Savers Club in the next few days.

Big thanks to @ocd for support for the Saturday Savers Club

The first two Saturday Savers Club posts, way back in January 2021, benefited from big votes from @ocd and some other large accounts. We were able to use the HBD from those two posts to buy 104 EDS income tokens to give two away for comments every week throughout the year. Each week, everyone who commented went into the Wheel of Names, and every week, we had two lovely winners, bringing extra fun and engagement for everyone.

One of the delights of the Club has been the comments and the shared tips and support between members. The Saturday Savers Club post has consistently been in the top ten most commented posts in Leofinance for many, many weeks. This has value for Hive way beyond the members who are taking part: visitors and newcomers can see a friendly place with lots of interaction, sharing and fun. Thanks everyone.

Hello @eddie-earner and @shanibeer. Happy New Year to you and all the members and friends of the Saturday Savers Club. Yes, it was a good year; and, on some fronts, a difficult one. I'm glad to be entering into a new one and a chance for new ventures.

I'm happy for all the members of the Club who participated in 2021. Even if you didn't meet all your goals, your participation means you were willing to give it a chance. We all meet unexpected circumstances, but will a bit of savings from the participation, I hope it helped a bit when needed.

Congratulations to @lammbock for the closest guess for @susie-saver account. I was over by 5cent.

Congratulations to all who participated in the Club in 2021. It was great engaging with you.

I've read some awesome stories and comments each week for the Club. My nominees for the Saver of the Year are:

SAVER OF THE YEAR:
@ericburgoyne - I admire his steadfast commitment to @cublife and the monthly buy-in. When I faltered near the deadline, I could just kick myself for not remembering to take advantage of this project. Then I'd come to Saturday meeting and see him reporting on his progress...always going all-in for a project he believed in. It doesn't matter how you save or what you invest in...as long as it's steady growth for your account.

RUNNER-UP
@bearmol - What can I say about this young man. He's so focused on growing his account, slow and steady as you advised us all. It was so much fun to watch him each week as he tracked his progress and was excited to share with us updates on achieving his goal of 1K by year-end. It doesn't matter if he failed to reach his goal of 1K. What matters is his commitment you can feel in his approach and excitement each week sharing with the Club the amount his account gained in HP, no matter how small. When I was younger, I had the exact same focus and drive. He will go a long way and be successful I feel on Hive and in life.

Before 12/31, I withdrew my savings and will make investments in the next few days.

2022 Beginning Balances in Hive and HBD Savings are: 0.00

I'm ready for 2022 Saturday Savers Club.

I would have to say the saver of the year is @justclickindiva. I ended up changing from saving daily to monthly because it felt like a hassle but it looks like she did save daily.

Hello @jfang003. Thank you so much for your support. I appreciate it. I started out daily until the Autumn Savings Challenge started in August. Then I followed it's plan of weekly. I think I'll stick with weekly as it was much less stressful trying to tally each day.

I think that whatever time period one chooses is great, as long as it's saving a small amount. It definitely grows.

I don't feel like I'm entitled to give out a nomination, since I only visited a few times, but if I can give a nomination, it should be @justclickindiva.

Keep up the great work!
