If you check over on @susie-saver's wallet, this week's 9.10p bought 5.76 HIVE which has been added to the savings wallet powered up by mistake! If I remember I'll adjust next week's savings so we end up with the right amount.

Now then - this week's winners!

Every week, you have the chance to win EDS tokens for commenting. Last week we had comments from @ericburgoyne @bearmol @justclickindiva @jfang003, @tokutaro22, @mba2020, @failingforward, @yeckingo1 and @riandeuk.

Okay, everyone who commented last week went into the WheelofNames and we have two winners - lucky first timers: @mba2020 and @yeckingo1 - check your wallets winners - yay!

Thank you for taking part in Saturday Savers Club, everyone!

What's been happening in your world this week? anything exciting or fun? Tell us in the comments - you could win some EDS tokens 😁.

More about EDS tokens

EDS tokens are a low-risk income token, ideal for people who want to save. There were only 20,000 originally and they were all sold at 1 Hive each, with guaranteed earnings of 12% each year. You can now acquire EDS tokens through the EDS Miner token.

Earnings come from powering up and leasing out the Hive that came from selling the tokens, plus earnings from posts and comments each week. EDS pays out every Monday evening. Last week the pay out was equivalent to 23%.

Back to business ...

We're going to be here every Saturday through the year growing a little savings honey pot, if you have plans for saving or getting to a different place this time next year - maybe $5 Hive by the end of the year 🤑?

Whatever it is, stick with Susie Saver through the year and we'll get there. Along the way, we'll share lots of tips and tricks for saving and how to get the knack of making your money work for you and not the other way round.

Let's Get Started

We're using the 365 Penny A Day Challenge framework for the Saturday Savers Club. We're aiming to save £667 worth of pennies by the end of the year.

Okay, let's check in ...

1. Check Progress

Each week, we're going to check in through this post and see where we are up to. Our target for today, 11 December, was 24.94p. Next week, we'll be saving 25.43p and by Saturday we'll have saved 628.03 (that's 62,803p just compounding a penny a day)! 😁.

Each week, I'll be buying Hive for @susie-saver's account with the pennies we've saved.

Here's this week's results - 24.94p buys 15.78 Hive.
1160 Hive powered up in 50 weeks and the remainder invested in EDS and EDSM! Plus we're earning 3.22% inflation on powered up Hive, 20% on EDSM, 23% on EDS tokens and a little on curating and posting!

How much Hive Power will @susie-saver have on 31 December 2021 - SPI Giveaway

We've 20 more days to go ... how much Hive Power will @susie-saver have by the end of the challenge. Let us know your prediction on the comments below for a chance to win SPI tokens.

How much did you save this week? Did you meet your target? Or did you save even more?

Being accountable to another person or a group is a great way to motivate yourself to save (or anything you want to achieve). Of course, you need the right kind of people around you - ones that think what you're trying to do is worth doing ... or at least fun 😁.

Sign up here with us to start your savings journey:

  • just leave a comment below if you want to join the challenge.
  • follow @eddie-earner so you never miss a post (Eddie has lots of ideas about how to make money - he's the earner, I'm the saver - you'll like his posts).
  • share this post if you think your followers might be interested.

2. The Golden Pig Tip

Every week, we're going to share a Golden Pig Tip for saving. By the time you've tried them all you'll have £670 saved.

This Week's Golden Pig Tip

For the end of the year, we will continue to promote the EDS income token fund. Here's how you can help:

  • Vote for @eddie-earner posts - all Hive, HBD and H-E token rewards on posts are powered up to grow the EDS fund and increase the Hive income that is given out every week - it's the magic of compounding combined with a virtuous circle combined with time! Never miss a post by setting up an autovote with Hive.Vote.
  • Carry a little notice about Saturday Savers Club and EDS in your signature at the bottom of every post (See below for sample text and check the bottom of @shanibeer's posts for an example).
  • Write your own post now and then about the Saturday Savers Club and EDS and why you are involved or talk about it in your monthly Hive Power Up Day post.

SAMPLE NOTICE TEXT

This week my way to save will be to optimize my rentals in splinterlands to increase my earnings since luck in the daily chests is not with me.

Hello @tokutaro22, in Saturday Savers Club we tend to go for Get Rich Slowly and not rely too much on luck, so your change is strategy is right in line with our philosophy. Will you be joining the new savings challenge starting on 1 January 2022? Also, we have a challenge this week - how much Hive Power will @susie-saver have by the end of the year? Let us have your guess 😍

Hello @tokutaro22. Good to hear you're optimizing your rentals in splinterlands. I attempted to rent some of my cards, but it didn't seem to work out for me. Mainly it's because I don't know what I'm doing and don't play the game.

Good luck with your continued rentals.

My guess for susie-saver account is 1210 HP for the end of December.

I am more or less on track with my monthly goals so I think I will make it before the end of the month.

Hello. Good to hear you're on track with your savings goals. I made the decision last week to power down some Hive for off platform investing. Good decision so far.

Hard to believe we are almost to the end of the year. Hive makes it so much fun to earn and save. And you're really making great progress. Another thing I have learned is that it really doesn't take much to get going with saving here.

Congrats to the winners! :)

So I managed to make it to month four of my savings challenge, but I am unsure if I'm going to have to cash out for cat food and rent this month. So what I am doing this week is taking a break (I just cashed out my liquid earnings rather than adding to savings), but I have not yet powered down said savings. I'm hoping that what I just cashed out will tide me over with cat food for a little longer and something will come up before I have to touch the savings account that allows me to continue. So this week it's on pause, which is better than powering down yet.

Pausing for a while is a great way to manage the challenge of cash flow (or lack of it) 😍. I've done the same, too, when no money has been coming in. I really fight not to break into any savings, but if I do have to, it's the smallest amount I can get away with - down to the penny! 😂 You're doing so well, it's great to see. I am really looking forward to the unboxing of the keyboard (can't believe I thought it was a computer keyboard, how daft am I)?

Any predictions for @susie-saver's final HP total for 31 December?

Hello @phoenixwren. Good to see you. Congratulations on making it to 4 months of savings challenge. You know taking a break or going in a different direction is sometimes needed. I stopped saving my Hive and switched to HBD. I also decided to power down a few thousands to utilize for off platform farm investing. It's paying off for me, so I think it's a wise decision.

In the Autumn Savings Challenge, I was thinking if the amount got too large for me any given week, then I'd just reduce the amount to even .5 or 1 HBD to save. It doesn't matter to me how much, but just save as much as I can.

Good luck over the holidays. Take care.

I am a big fan of mining tokens. How do the EDS Miners work?

For this challenge, we just start tracking our savings. For instance, I start today, and post my savings here every Saturday?

Hello and welcome @mba2020 😍.

EDS Miners - you buy and stake your EDS Miners and then start receiving EDS tokens at the rate of 20%. EDS is an income token which pays out in Hive each Monday - payments are guaranteed at 12% but are nearer to 23% at present. Both tokens are available on Hive-Engine, LeoDex and TribalDex.

There is also a Leo backed income token - Cublife (CL). Cublife is issued once a month, on the 21st. You can buy them with Leo, Hive or pegged Hive. For liquid CL, you receive income in Leo each Friday (I think, it may be Saturday - I have too many paydays 😁), and for staked CL, you receive income in further CL tokens. You can find out more about CL and the monthly buy by following @lbi-token. Saturday Savers @ericburgoyne and @justclickindiva both save for CL, so they can tell you more about their experiences.

We've run a structured savings plan for the whole of 2021 which is just coming to an end on 31 December - we'll be starting again on 1 January 2022. In this plan, you compound your savings by a penny a day (day 1 = 1p, day 2 = 2p ... all the way to day 365 = 3.65p). The @susie-saver account has been used as the model piggy bank for this, using fiat each week to save the equivalent amount in Hive and power it up. Other savers (@justclickindiva, @jfang003 and @phoenixwren) have used the same plan, but saved HBD as their unit of currency. All have regular posts setting out their savings plans and what they've achieved. Other savers here have their own plans and use some of the tips and techniques and the camaraderie of the weekly posts to support their saving.

One of the most popular things we did was a No-Buy Month in October (we built up to it with a No-Buy week in August) where everyone set their rules for what they were and were not allowed to buy during the month and then reported on how they had done through the week. We had some spectacular saves!

We also have weekly giveaways which are just for fun and help everyone to build their stack. This week everyone is guessing how much Hive Power the @susie-saver account will have on 31 December 2021 - have a look through the comments to see people's guesses and then post one yourself 😍.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Shani and a Happy New year to you.
Yep just when it looked like we were coming out of the covid nightmare along comes a new variant.
Hope that by summer we can all get together again. 🍻👍

Yep I'm doing a little experiment with this alt account.
I'll do a blog about it when I get enough data.
