March to April Income Review... Nicely Balanced!

I've now got some reliable (steady) data to properly review what proportion of my income comes from DEFi staking, after the initial crazy early APYs of CUB, and it's still looking pretty healthy....

I won't be so indiscrete as to outline how much I earn in each category, but I'll do a percentage breakdown and a few thoughts on each...

Here's my income breakdown from the last 30 days:

It's interesting to compare this to the situation back in January...

Basically DEFI has now become my major rewards source, more or less equal to Hive rewards, and then my regular income has dropped from 75% to nearer 40% of my total overall income/ crypto reward tokens in nominal dollar value (or rather pounds, I've worked this all out in Sterling.

ReviseSociology.com resource sales

My income from revision resource sales has held up well, given that A-level exams are cancelled. My income from this is less than half of what it would usually be in April, which is usually when exam fever kicks in, but it's remained stable, and I'll take that!

Revise ads

No change, still lower than they should be. Not impressed, but it's still money for nothing!

Chatbot

Pretty good performance this month, it's the bot that just keeps on giving - 10% of my income, for my doing literally naff all other than hosting it on my website! Love it!

Marking

Now down to 2% of my income, but it keeps me in touch with the real world, and I've got a system worked out where I can mark about 2 essays 4 days a week and it that keeps it ticking over!

Hive (and LEO)

I spend a lot of time 'dicking about' on Hive and Leo, to the detriment of getting on with my land project, but I'd be insane not to, when the rewards are so good.

Most of my rewards are author rewards, about 2/3rds. but every month, as I continually power up, that proportion adjusts in favour of curation!

DEFI staking

I'm now about 80% in Cub, 15% in Run and then 5% between Swamp and Pancake, and I intend to just stick with it for the time being.

It's mainly BTC, bleo and stables I've got in farms/ pools or Dens/ Vaults, whatever you want to call them, but a few other bits and pieces too.

I like CUB, I trust it more than other platforms!

Final thoughts - happy with the balance and Income to Expenditure

I really like those three big chunks of the pie - three diversified income sources and then some other smaller sources. That's what I call secure!

I'm earning more than twice what I need to survive, and I'm just stacking stables with the excess. I don't actually need to pull any crypto out to pay for my basic costs of living in Portugal - my fiat income covers that, for now.

What my fiat income doesn't cover is my land-project, I've been funding that with selling off a little crypto (not very much) and a few savings I've got kicking about!

I'm hoping that when normal service resumes on A-levels which should be September my FIAT income will go back up again and I can start building stuff on the land!

I don't really want to cash out my crypto, I'm quite happy staking and stacking!
