Just weeks ago, I started saving up my HBD earnings

I wrote about it as well, click here. At the time I was excited to earn just a little extra over my rewards in HBD. I stopped my powerdown about the same time, to start building again. I know with about 30 HBD a week, the interest is just tiny, but still, it feels good to be able to save something until you need it or reached a certain goal.

Two weeks of HBD savings

So far, I've managed to save up about 50 HBD, which is about 50 bucks as HBD seems to be quite stable with its price around the dollar.

At the time that I started saving up the HBD, the interest was 7% which was already quite nice. Today I noticed it went up to 10%! Woohoo! What bank gives you 10% interest on your money or savings?

I have managed to stay around or even above the 30 HBD a week in pending HBD earnings. These liquids are my reward for writing, and can be spent as I please. I do acknowledge that putting them into the savings account means that I spent more time thinking about the right time / moment to take out the savings. Where I normally would transfer smaller amounts to an exchange to put into other crypto, I now had a very long and good thought about the goal I was working towards.

I decide on a goal for the HBD savings

Although I will eventually start saving for longer periods of time, for now a short tearm goal is being decided on. I think it's a smart one and I can't wait until I reached it because my current membership expires in a few days. Meaning I can't use it until I renew and pay for the yearly fee.

What am I talking about? I'm talking about Canva Pro! I use this every single day and although I know the free version offers a lot of great things already, like a lot of good stock images and options to create nice things, I really can't see myself working without the Pro membership anymore.

Currently, with our car needing to be replaced, I don't want our fiat money to be affected by one of my memberships and therefore choose to spend the earnings from HBD on my Canva Membership. It's 119 dollars when you pay per year, but 12,99 if you pay per month, doing some math, it means I'm saving almost 37 bucks a year on something I use every single day if I pay the yearly fee at once.

Thanks to the Hive witnesses for 10% APR on savings!

I know with my earnings, 10% on my HBD rewards isn't really that much, but it's something. I will keep using the HIVE piggy bank in my account for higher earnings and I hope that I can save towards some other goals in the future as well. For now, I will be very please to pay for the yearly Canva pro fee, and start saving from scratch again.

Have you been saving your earnings as well?
