Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Saturday Savers Club with Susie-Saver!

When will @susie-saver hit 1,000HP?

Currently, an average of 26.45 Hive savings, 4.97 Hive earnings and .34 Hive passive income is added each week. The account is sitting at 910.45HP. When will it reach 1,000HP?
Here's the bets so far - add yours in the comments for a chance to win extra prizes!

October Side-Gig Month - LBI Giveaway!

Yes, it's here - we love saving money and we like making money even more! Every Saturday for 5 Saturdays, we're going to look at opportunities to earn a little on the side that don't require qualifications or a huge outlay in capital. Last week, we had great a great idea from @phoenixwren about petsitting and @missaj started a side-hustle! Check your wallets for an extra LBI!

This week we are going to look at the opportunity to sell time! We had this great idea last week from @phoenixwren:

I will add to the skills list of suggestions, pet sitting. I'm the resident pet sitter for people in my building; I've watched over cats and birds while their people were away, and taken a dog for walks when their person was staying late at work or school. This has generally been a positive experience except for one lady who had eleven birds loose in her apartment. I don't have a problem with birds; I watched over one for another neighbor who was one bird and had a cage. But this lady's birds would dive bomb your head because you were a stranger in their home (and not just me, they did it to the super too, apparently). Eventually I stopped agreeing to watch them because it was like going in to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, and the lady would call me about five times a day asking about them. I do have limits. 😂 But otherwise, animals get taken care of, I earn a little extra cash, and neighbors are able to take their vacations with their animals safe at home, so it's a win-win-win. :)

Here's a few other ideas:

  • house-sitting - like pet-sitting and sometimes combined, house-sitting is a great way to earn some extra pennies while friends and family are away. You might also get a free holiday, too!
  • dog-walking - adding to the pet-sitting theme, dog-walking is another great side-hustle plus good for your health and well-being and you can post the steps to actifit - yay!

How about this one:

  • in-home companion - this is where you provide some additional support to an elderly person living independently. You might pop round for a cup of tea and a chat to check they are okay and provide some company, or exchange library books or do a little shopping for them.

For an opportunity to win LBI in this week's giveaway, tell us in the comments any other ideas you have about selling time - or any important considerations like local regulations. We'd also like to hear your experiences if you've done any of these.

This is a challenge for anyone who wants to make a lifestyle change (eat well, move more, sleep better) hosted by @shanibeer over in the Natural Medicine community. Anyone is welcome to join 😍. There's been a bit of a hold-up with this while @shanibeer is attending to offline things - it will be back soon.

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, @phoenixwren, @missaj, riandeuk and @bashadow.

Okay, everyone who commented last week went into the WheelofNames and we have two winners: @jfang003 and @riandeuk - check your wallets winners - yay!

- Congratulations!

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%.

559 EDS Miner tokens left!

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.

Penny a Day Tracker Sheet

Right click on the image, save it to your computer and then print it out.

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, 16 October, was 20.02p. Next week, we'll be saving 20.51p and by Saturday we'll have saved 438.31p (that's 43,831p 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 - 20.02p buys 25.90 Hive.
940 Hive powered up in 42 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 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

We're running the LBI Giveaway for October Side-Gig month which will have Golden Pig tips every week - check that section above. Here we will continue to promote building 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.

Hello @bearmol. It's good to see how you're steadily progressing toward your 1K HP goal each week. That's the key, slow and steady. I feel you will achieve this by year-end. Good luck.

It's always fun to read your cooking adventures.

Take care.

Ahh that 30 October is gonna be a hit or miss, exciting :-)

Thanks for the EDS win! Always good to add some. Edsm and eds really are some of the slower, long term building tokens compared to others in crypto. But I'm already seeing the effects little by little. Some discipline is needed but will pay off in the end.

Good luck saving the last bit for that 1k HP mark!

I love those last few weeks when you are nearly at a target 😍.

How are your savings plans going? Do you have any side gigs?

Saving is still going well everything I planned on saving is still saved and the safety margins were kinda big I guess so all expenses and allowance accounts are slowly creeping up too, gotta remove some there every now and then I think.. We did treat ourselves to a nice dinner out yesterday, was well worth it too!

I do have a side hustle, but then again I sometimes don't know what my side gigs and main gigs are anymore haha. Working on an e-learning right now to get people to better understand their mortgage and possibly help out going for the execution only option. Currently doing a lot of animating and structuring the last bits, next is voice over.

Reason I got involved in this was that my main business isn't as scalable and during covid I became very aware of uncertainty of income in situations like that. So I guess it's a spread of risks too, but there's a lot of time going in to it making it feel just as much main as anything else.

Splinterlands play and renting out has been good to me too lately, think that has a bright future, as well as the whole play to earn genre.

That can happen in a side-gig!

We had a meal out over the weekend, too, it was lovely! Also saw the latest James Bond, very entertaining.

Great news with your savings 😍

Hello. How do you determine what amount to rent your cards for?

0

Hey, that's a great question and I think the in-game interface is kinda lacking in that regard.

I use peakmonsters.com, there you can bulk select all the cards you'd like to rent and load the most competitive price at the moment with one button. It also gives you the ROA (return on asset) to determine the relative earning potential compared to the current value of the card.

There's still a lot of development for rentals going on. Basically the start of season is cheaper compared to the end because of the recent changes. But the tools are great for now. I do think renting full decks for a certain league during a whole season would be best going forward. Renter knows what to expect to play with and what league to end up in and the owner knows what return to expect. Till then this is as good as it gets :-)

No, I didn't. This month I was heavily into tokenizing several of my digital art drawings. Each tokenized piece costs 5 Hive for the 1st edition.

I hope to be able to participate next month.

Nothing much this week. Besides Actifit which has already been mentioned, I guess games such as Splinterlands and Rising Star can also be considered a side gig. There are many different ways to generate some extra funds on the side.

Hello all Saturday Savers and @shanibeer. Hope you had a good week. Here is my Saturday Savers Club report for Week 42. We are almost to the finish line. Only 10 week away:

https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@justclickindiva/week-42-out-of-52-headed-toward-the-finish-line-with-week-10-of-the-autumn-savings-challenge-or-saturday-savers-club


Also, congratulations to @jfang003 and @riandeuk for winning in the Wheel of Names.


I read all your ideas for side-gigs. For those able to attempt any of them, it's a good way to accumulate some extra funds. I know about the in-home companion. Usually in the U.S., if this is not completely voluntary work, you have to contract with a home health care provider who schedules you to visit and complete any type of chores needed by the person. You are actually employed by the home health care provider. You can choose full-time or part time. I know several people who do this type of work for a living.


It seems as though I'm all by myself in my prediction on when @susie-saver will reach 1K HP.

Take care everyone and have a good start to your week ahead.

Hello @justclickindiva, thank you for the additional information about the in-home companion, that's really interesting.

Good news with your October no-buy. We had a meal out at the weekend and went to the cinema - lovely!

Good go any way with @susie-saver reaching 1,000HP! 😍

Good for you on your night out. I've already had a take out last week and plan for another this week. That's more than I did all last months, which was a lovely switch up. Although the meal ended up not tasting as I thought it would. Can't say a waste of money because I went ahead and ate it anyway. I hate waste. Just lesson learned in trying out new establishment. Hit or miss sometimes. Other folks' taste buds are not the same as mine. I can't stand bland food.

Take care.

Greetings good people. Thank you for the motivation and support. The side hustle takes a bit of time especially this month because I had previous commitments. Anyway, I’m loving it , thinking of new ways to improve it and discovering each day that I really like sharing my food with as many people as possible. The feedback has been great thus far. 😀
