Hello all! Well here we are, my first #myhivegoals post, a series idea started by started by @jongolson. This also doubles as my weekly progress report for #saturdaysavers, which is a fun little group that tries to motivate everyone to save and reach their goals. I'm going to look at the progress I've made on my Hive goals, as well as give a few tokens I'm looking at right now. If you are here for the comment SBI giveaway, well, we'll get to that too.

Let's start with my Hive goals.

~ Hive & HBD ~

My current goal is 35k Hive.

This past week I made 235.8 plus 500 from my HPUD on the first, bringing me to 22267.5 total Hive Power. That's 67.5% of my goal!

Math time. 35k - 22267.5 gives us 12732.5. Divided out by the days till the first of next year, we get 35.57 Hive needed per day to reach 35k by that point. That seems somewhat doable. This past week I made an average of 27 per day, so I'm...well, I'm short already. Let's try harder next week!

As for HBD, I am continuing on my tiny goal of moving 20 HBD per month to savings, which comes out to around .71 per day. I've continued to do that so far.

~ PIMP ~

My goal with PIMP is 100k. So far only three people have reached that level, and one of them is the founder. Will I get the fourth?! Time will tell!

I made 287.3 PIMP last week, putting me at 63694.9 — 63.7% of my goal.

~ Silver ~

My goal here is to buy something with silver every week. I couldn't get out to buy anything last week. Maybe this one, we'll see.

Not a great price week last week. It dropped on the 3rd to $23 and stayed there all week. Let's see if it can recover this week.

The sales continue at some of the online places. Look at what I found an hour ago.

A pretty cool design. Even better, it's only $26—just $3 over spot. Hard to beat that.

That stuff out of the way, let's do our SBI drawing! If you are new here, I give away 5 shares of SBI every week to commenters on this post. If you reblog and comment you get two entries and double the award (if you win).
