Welcome back everyone for my monthly Hive PUD day. I can't believe it's December already and my twelfth consecutive power up in 2021. This year has been one I'll never forget with all that has happened to not only my family, but other families worldwide. I feel blessed to at least have a large number of my family still with us. Yes, we like so many other families lost loved ones. I pray that everyone who did find peace in this unusual holiday season of 2021.
To be blessed to have been able to take care of my own finances, as well as assist those of my extended family, I'm usually cautious with my spending and investing in these unpredictable times. I work with what I have and try not to overindulge with both.
Since we're in the holiday season of 2021, I'm being more cautious this year. I've made some savings and investment decisions that hopefully will hold steady for me long term.
First I'm going to participate in the power up for December with a small amount. I don't keep as much liquid as I did at the start of the year. I've staked other community tokens all year and will do so in this power up.
Check out the Hive PUD events for December:

Powering Up Community Projects For December
Besides investing in the Hive blockchain by powering up my liquid Hive, I also participate and stake liquid amount in Community projects. I will hodling these long term.
The tags are to identify the issuers of the tokens for anyone who may have an interest in checking out the project or community for further details.
SATURDAY SAVERS CLUB
The Saturday Savers Club is a project for a group that meets each Saturday over on the @eddie-earner account. Through the savings and investment strategies for the 365-Penny-A-Day Challenge designed by @shanibeer, I managed to save daily my HBD. A few months ago, I decided to discontinue saving my Hive.
Instead, I'm participating in their weekly Autumn Savings Challenge which started in August. I've now saved a total of 507.657 HBD. Earning 10% APR is a smart investment decision. I'm scheduled to claim 3.292 HBD interest today.

Wondering why you should power up? Powering up your account can help you by:
- Greater voting power on content blogs;
- More curation rewards when you vote on other bloggers' posts;
- More resource credits to perform transactions on the Hive Blockchain.
