Hello @eddie-earner and @shanibeer what a good week for me. After buying Btc in the dip, I then cooled a bit and took a look at all I was doing and where I stood as far as my investments. I feel I'm in good shape as to where I want to be at this time.

I read LBI's new venture, CubLife, and decided to participate. I'm utilizing half of my savings in the Savers Club to invest in it.

Congratulations to @missaj and @preparedwombat for winning in the WheelOfNames!

Also congratulations to @ericburgoyne for reaching DOLPHINhood. What an accomplishment!


Here is my Week 19 status report of my participation in the Saturday Savers Club:

In reading the TIP, I totally agree with the concept of automated savings. I have offline various financial institutions in which I transfer each month funds into savings account. It's so nice to set-and-forget. Besides, it adds up to quickly. And the good thing about it is I don't miss it.

Thanks everyone and see you next week.

Wow, well done buying in the dip - it passed me by!
Always a good plan to take a little time to review abnd plan your next steps.

It's great to see a progression for your savings from the Challenge: you said your goal was to invest in crypto and here you are doing it. Excellent!

I agree with the automated commitment for savings (although I actually enjoy doing it manually at the beginning of the month - it pleases me 😂). Automating is great, though, for people who are busy or may find it more difficult to put savings aside. I love the expression "pay yourself first" - the idea that savings are a payment that has to be made just like taxes and utilities.

Hello. How was your week? Yes, I had a very productive week. I look forward to just relaxing a bit next couple weeks and sorting out all my token buys and stakes.

I love the automated savings. Pay yourself first off the top just like paying your mortgage or car payment and insurance. Otherwise, you'll convince yourself that there's something pressing your need that you can't possibly save $25 this month. When I realized I would never actually hold back the $25 once the first of the month ended at midnight. I knew then I had to do something different. Just eliminating 1 take-out meal a week...and voila...there was my savings. Or better still, buying that amount of items at the thrift store to accumulate more items I'd later toss.

It's a mindset. Once I decided to set-and-forget, it's been part of my life for the past ten years. That $25 monthly savings has helped many family members so I didn't have to use my budgeted monthly income.

Take care and thanks for the engagement.

I had a good week, thanks, I visited family earlier in the week and tried playing golf. I'm planning a quieter week this week, catching up with myself and getting a few jobs done.
I agree about putting savings away, set and forget is right. I love it when I check the balance and see how much it's grown. And I find that I make sure I manage with whatever is left in my current account. Like you, takeaway and idle buys in thrift shops don't get done. I've also started making smaller savings in my current account so I don't break into my savings account when I need something like new spectacles 😂.

Yeah the set-and-forget so you won't miss a month is important, people are distracted too easily. If you can get to grips with that flaw and accept it you're ahead :-)
