Hello everyone!
Welcome back to my weekly update with the Saturday Savers Club. As usual, every weekend I share the latest progress in my journey of saving and building digital assets, especially within the Hive and Splinterlands ecosystems.


To be honest, Week 18 has felt heavier than usual. The past few days have been emotionally and financially draining in real life. As a result, I had to use a portion of the HIVE I had saved up for urgent needs. Right after that, the price of HIVE surged up to \$0.29 before correcting back down to \$0.24. This kind of volatility offers great opportunities but also tests our strategy and mental resilience as savers.

This trend isn’t limited to HIVE—it's reflected across the broader crypto market. Bitcoin even reached \$94,277 before undergoing a correction. The entire market seems to be searching for a new balance.

### 🎯 **Goal 1: 7,500 Hive Power (HP)**

**Reflection:**
This week’s gain fell short of the target. One of the main reasons was that I didn’t write as much as usual in the past few days. Additionally, I had to convert some HIVE back into HBD to meet urgent needs. That said, I still did a power-up at the beginning of the month as part of #HivePUD, which helped maintain my HP growth. Although it wasn’t an ideal week, I’m still grateful to keep moving forward—one small step at a time toward a big goal.

### 🎯 **Goal 2: 25,000 SPS (Splintershards)**

* **Last week's progress:** 18,445 SPS
* **This week's progress:** 18,512 SPS
* **Gained:** 67 SPS
* **Weekly target:** at least 180 SPS

**Reflection:**
My SPS gain also missed the target this week. While I still played Splinterlands daily, my focus was slightly off, and my gameplay rhythm slowed down a bit. However, I kept collecting SPS through daily and season rewards. The SPS price is currently on an upward trend, and I hope it continues—or even breaks through key resistance levels—to keep my motivation strong.

### 🔍 **This Week’s Challenge:**

Having to withdraw funds from my HIVE savings due to urgent needs was a tough challenge. But I realize that saving is about consistency and sustainability—not about who gets there the fastest. I’ve started reshaping my strategy by swapping some HBD to HIVE when the price drops, setting it aside as a reserve for future needs—whether for power-ups or personal expenses.

### 🗓️ **Additional Plan:**

I realize how important it is to stay consistent with writing and to stick to a more disciplined posting schedule. I missed quite a few writing sessions this week, and that clearly affected the outcome. I want to get back on track like in previous months. Your support and prayers mean a lot—I hope I can get through this tough phase and return to being productive.

### **Closing:**

Week 18 is a reminder that the journey of building digital assets isn’t just about numbers—it’s also about life balance. We all go through ups and downs, and that’s just part of the process. Thank you for reading to the end. I hope the upcoming week brings more energy and better opportunities for all of us.
