See how Hive is changing my life, and my long term plan (2021.10.26)

avatar

This post will be probably long, and I do not even know, where to start this post. I am incredibly grateful, happy and motivated right now.

Well, let me start by stating a fact that I will financially get through this winter, and all thanks to you. I am incredibly grateful, especially to @felixxx for sending me $300 HBD, and I did not even asked for it. He sent it to me with his heart and soul, because he (and probably others, who read my comments under various posts) know that I am in a bad situation. He feels good that he can help. And he donated to other people too. I would like to let you know that I feel even more good about this. I am incredibly grateful and happy about this.

And I also received direct support from others, for example from @dswigle, @abh12345. Not to mention the dozens of good upvotes and comments on my posts lately. Special thanks to @eddiesun, @aftabkhan10, @cwow2, @captainquack22, @mejustandrew, @atma.love, @zuerich, @wil.metcalfe. You are all providing great support for me, both in terms of upvotes and in comments. Thank you so much. This means a lot to me.

All of this literally means financially getting through the winter for me.

I wrote that I will write I post, when I use domething from that $300 HBD to buy something. Well, I still have not bought anything from that. I have not spent a single cent. I sold all of it for fiat, but that is all so far. I am trying to save as much as I can for the winter.

Why does this mean so much for me?

Most of you probably already know this, because I already wrote this many times in various comments, but I also write it down in this post just in case. I live with multiple disabilities in Hungary under the minimum wage. My pension-like income is approximately only $250 USD per month. Nowadays I also work in a four hours per day part time job, but my total income is still only approximately only $470 USD per month, while the local minimum wage is approximately $550 USD per month. Sometimes I had to decide between paying rent/bills and buying food. But I will not have to do this this winter. So this is why I wrote that I will financially get through the winter this year, and I mean it literally.

And I have a plan for permanently getting out from the financial discrimination. Yes. You read that right. I see a possible solution for the problem.

The problem: High rent, high bills.
The (currently planned) solution: My current plan is to earn and save enough money in long term to be able to buy a sailboat, and live on that.

Yes. I would like to live on a sailboat.

With a sailboat, there would be no rent, no bills. And I could live even on my low pension-like income (approximately $250 USD per month) alone. That would mean not just/only getting out of the financial discrimination, but also jumping straight into the financial freedom at the same time.

A sailboat? How? How much?

I talked to a Hungarian guy, who was lucky enough to get a sailboat as a gift in Denmark.

He told me in an e-mail that there is an Instagram page called howtobuyasailboat, where I could find sailboats from €500 EUR.

Well, I have not found that Instagram page, but I found something else. Something similar. A Facebook page called "Sailboats from 1000 EUR".

img_0.2656994306396597.jpg

A sailboat for €1000 EUR?

1000, 2000 or 3000, I will build this up with Hive. Block by block. I am very confident that I can achieve this with Hive in long term.

For a starting motivation, just take a look at these screenshots:

img_0.694875684912464.jpg

This is falling faster than a/the (insert something here).

One or two weeks ago, my SPS collection was worth around $200 USD, but now it is nearly halved. But I am still not worrying about this. I think that this is just/only a short term price fluctuation. I am planning for long term.

Another screenshot:

img_0.00910536939808414.jpg

$124.96 USD + $865.08 USD is $990.04 USD, which is currently €852.90 EUR. And this is just/only my main Splinterlands assets.

For example I am also collecting SPT and other tokens in my Hive Engine wallet.

img_0.6889626683922665.jpg

I am certain/confident that with the help of the Hive blockchain I can reach enough funds for a sailboat (and get out of the financial discrimination, and get into financial freedom) over the next years.

I truly believe in this.

Thank you everyone so much again everyone for the great support.
I really cannot thank you enough for this.
If I take a wider look on this platform and the generous people in it, then Hive is literally change my life. Saving me from the financial discrimination, and leading me into financial freedom.

Thank you everyone once again.

I wish all the best to everyone. Greetings from Hungary.

Thank you. I am sure that this will be amazingly good in long term. It is already very good.

I give you some !PIZZA.

Have a nice day. All the best.

I hope you get your boat. Although I have heard that they are buggers to maintain, cost-wise!

Hopefully in the next few years or even sooner. I will try to speak with local sailors about the current maintenance prices.

But because I am not planning to travel much with it, it will probably need less frequent maintenance than the usual, and I will not have to pay something like €150 EUR every month.

Otherwise that would be the same as my current rent.

If there are any sailors or any person with any experience with sailboats on Hive, I would be glad to hear some opinions and experiences.

Thank you for the support.

I give you some !PIZZA and !BEER !

It would be a very cool thing to be free like that so I hope it works out. One thing I haven't seen on Hive is someone who lives on a boat so that would be a first!

Also, I hope you have plenty of warm clothes. I hear it can get very cold on the water.

I must admit to not being aware of your hardship over in Hungary, and I hope HIVE can provide you with all you need.

I have many warm clothes. I am already well prepared for the cold Hungarian winter. Although if I get the sailboat, I will probably move with it to some warmer places, for example near Spain or Cyprus.

I must admit to not being aware of your hardship over in Hungary, and I hope HIVE can provide you with all you need.

I very rarely blog about it. I mostly mention it in comments under other people's posts. Hopefully I can get the sailboat in the next 1-2 years with the help of the Hive blockchain. There are many supportive people (including you), and I am very glad and happy for this.

Thank you again for the support. Both for myself and for everyone else. Nowadays the engagement league is one of the best encouraging initistives on the Hive blockchain. I am happy to be regularly in the top 10 of it.

I give you some !PIZZA.

Have a nice day. All the best.

Sounds like a great plan, I hope your dreams come true!!
(The SPS airdrop is really great, I decided to take half of mine out on a daily basis and started buying stocks, I am only doing this for a week now and it is looking good so far, although I don't have any experience with stock market trading)

Thank you for your encouraging words. I do what I can to achieve it. I am trying to be consistently active on Hive. Both with posting, commenting and curating. Hopefully I will achieve it in 1-2 years, or maybe even sooner. I will also blog about it, when I buy it.

I don't have any experience with stock market trading

Me neither, but be careful with it. Invest only what you can afford to lose.

I give you some !PIZZA.

Have a nice day. All the best.

Hello dear friend @xplosive good afternoon
There are a lot of very generous people at hive, that's what makes it great.

You have a good plan, a few years ago I used to hang out with a person who lived on a sailboat, but I lost track of him a long time ago.
On that occasion he commented that he lived very well; He even changed places every year to take advantage of the most beautiful days of each season.

I wish you much success dear friend. I know you are going to achieve what you set out to do.

I wish you an excellent afternoon

This sounds truly amazing. Really awesome to hear. If I get a sailboat, then I would to move somewhere warm, where the winters are not cold.

Thank you for the support and for the good wish.

I also wish you much success. I give you some !PIZZA.

Have a nice day. All the best.

A token. You can find it in your Hive Engine wallet.

By having and staking at least 20 Pizza, you can make reward calls, and the @pizzabot will give tokens to the users from its own wallet on your behalf.

I give you some more !PIZZA and some !LUV.

LUV is a similar token, but you need only 10 to do the same with it. And there are a few other similar tokens, for example, beer, engagement, alive.

My Hive Engine wallet currently looks like this:
img_0.3461803650026818.jpg

Not every Hive Engine token works like this. For example you can earn #spt by using the spt tag on your posts. There are many others like this, and you can also stake and delegate them to receive a passive income.

You can also buy and sell these tokens for Hive.

I wish you all the best. Have a nice day. Greetings from Hungary.

Hey you!! @xplosive Thanks for the mention, although you give me more credit than I deserve. It has been a real pleasure to watch you blossom into such a kind and gentle soul. I know you are nice, but, life is being a bit kinder to you and you actually have a reason to smile.

People love seeing people thrive and do well. I know I do. It is always fun to find different ways to do it, but, outright donating works too. :)

It would be nice to sail around, but, being you will be waiting a few years, and I probably would as everything like boats, Recreational Vehicles, and the like are expensive right now with travel very limited. When the pandemic goes to sleep, they will be flooding the market and the prices will be cheaper than now. I would watch for that time. You can look now, but, you will more than likely get a newer one or a better one that will be affordable by waiting. I am waiting on a Recreational Vehicle.

I was raised on the Atlantic Ocean and my brother lived on a boat for a few years. Wooden boats require more maintenance, especially painting every year, the underside, plus if the boat is older, wood rot. My brother swore that 500 hours on a boat was perfect, even 700 if it was maintained. Sails get damaged. $$$

Fiberglass also needs care, waxing every year or Awlgrip three to five years. I would have to look that one up.

There is so much to learn, but, the journey to learning will be fun! I am wishing you luck and left you a little something in your wallet.

Thank you. This is real kind. Feels very good.

I would watch for that time. You can look now, but, you will more than likely get a newer one or a better one that will be affordable by waiting. I am waiting on a Recreational Vehicle.

I have to wait either way, because I cannot afford to buy one right now. Maybe I will really get one for €500 EUR a few years later, as one sailor person wrote to me in an e-mail.

This is awesome. Hopefully I will do something similar in the upcoming years.

My brother swore that 500 hours on a boat was perfect, even 700 if it was maintained. Sails get damaged. $$$

Good to read some personal experience. Thank you. Is this for a wooden boat? 700 hours is almost one month. So basically it needs some kind of maintenance more than one time every month?

Fiberglass also needs care, waxing every year or Awlgrip three to five years. I would have to look that one up.

Thank you. I searched for this, and I found out that the waxing (in general) costs something from $8 USD to $40 USD per foot. The smaller the boat, the smaller the price. This price information is from 2019, so it may have changed since then.

If I count with a 15 foot sailboat and $40 USD per feet price, then that would be $600 USD. My current annual rent is approximately $2096 USD, so this is much more cheaper than my current rent, but of course it is also depending on the fact that whether the sailboat needs other kinds of maintenance or repairing or not.

There is so much to learn, but, the journey to learning will be fun!

Definitely, and I already started learning.

I am wishing you luck and left you a little something in your wallet.

Thank you for the good wish, and thank you so much for the $10 HBD. I indeed save it for the sailboat.

I give you some !PIZZA and !LUV.

Have a wonderful day. All the best. Greetings from Hungary.

I believe that I can get it in the next few years, and based on my initial calculations, the annual maintenance of a sailboat is much cheaper than my current rent.

I am very grateful and happy for every help I receive.
Thank you again for the support.

I give you some !PIZZA.

Have a nice day. All the best.

Your story is empowering, I think that you can do this with Hive and that you will get your sailboat! I understand perfectly the need to own your own little roof and to have minimal expenses , you are ambitious and I admire that, I am glad that I discovered your profile, there are so many ambitious hard working people on Hive wanting to get a better life.
Good luck, you will succeed!
