Hello to all Silver Blogger friends! Today I would like to discuss my Hive plans and future investments that I would like to start this week. I have been so lucky that I became a Hiver since 2020. When I used to be younger and had a lot of money, I never thought of having investments, but now that I am getting older, every single piece of cents that I make money from working online and from posting in Hive should be put up in proper ways.
I noticed most of the senior citizens here from my city in their 60s; there is such no opportunity for them, like a job, as our country has age discrimination when it comes to looking for a job. When I was 30 years old, before I found it difficult to get a job because of the age limit from 18 to 28 years old, so commonly elderly or senior citizens are out of a job and just waiting for a pension from the government for 1,000 pesos every 3 months, I think, and it's not even enough to support medical needs and food.
So this is what I wanted to do. I am inspired by @tengolotodo . I had read his post before about Hive savings, and this is what came to my mind to do the same thing. So I have to keep posting to earn more HBD and transfer it to Hive savings. I have also shared this idea with my newbie onboards to do savings here in Hive. Glad that they have started doing it now and even did a Hive power-up.
A couple of weeks ago I made some HBD withdrawals and HP power down to invest in my house renovation and bought a washing machine since I am done with it all. All that I have from Hive blog posting will be saved here in Hive Savings. I would like to target also to get a thousand of Hive Power because I made a power down before, which was a very wrong decision of mine.
I have invited a group of senior citizens before here in Hive to post, but it seems they find it difficult to create a post, especially since it needs to be written in English. I guess they have less knowledge because they were not able to have a proper education during their younger days. I do not want to retire with nothing and depend on my children, so as of now, while I am still strong and healthy, I have to work very hard and double time.
Economic crises are very rampant worldwide, and 1 income is not enough, so aside from my coaching program and Hive posting, I need to have another stable income, so I am preparing for my ESL teacher application, and I have to organize my time every day from taking care of my kids, doing the chores, working online, and working as an ESL teacher.
I aim that in my 50s I am secure financially, even if not much, but at least I have some investments. I still have 5 years to make that plan work out, but it doesn’t mean that in my 50s I will no longer work; of course I will still work, but at least I am not that worried about my retirement.
Thank you so much for reading my post and its my pleasure to be a part of thi community to share my oldie thoughts and experiences in life when I used to be younger before and for future.
