Saving up Steem!!!

in #thealliance5 years ago

Setting Aside Steem for the next Meetup!

This little savings fund has been lovingly nicknamed:

"The Dreemie Travel Layaway Plan" hehehe

I used to LOVE the Christmas fund and Vacation fund that my mom used to have for us. Setting aside a little at a time adds up quickly and always decreases the stress that comes with those events! When vacation comes around, instead of me feeling panicked, counting each penny - I have a little wad of cash that was specifically set aside for my spending pleasure!

Having just come back from @thealliance Block Party in Colorado, I am still flying high from all the excitement, love, laughter, and family times! For many of us, this was our first time coming to a Meetup, and we didn't know quite what to expect. I think for ALL of us - our expectations were exceeded and we are so looking forward to the next time!

The main reason why I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to go this last time - was all due to money and schedule (and the schedule was related to money!) I decided to be a bit more prepared this time - and if there is ANYONE who would like to join me... You can feel free to do so!

I opened up a separate account called @dreemsavingsfund - and anyone who would like to start saving for next year's Meetup through that account - I have two incentives! (and nope - I do not make ANY money off of this. I'm actually CONTRIBUTING more to it through weekly drawings! This is purely a place to hold steem for later specified use!)

You can go look at the specifics AT THIS POST but if you just want the quick version:

  1. Get a daily upvote from the account when you deposit at least 10 steem a week.
  2. Enter the $5 weekly bonus drawing when you deposit at least 10 steem a week
  3. Your money will be returned between 60-90 days beore specified event. (no early withdrawals.)
  4. All votes, balances and bonus announcements will be posted weekly so you can always know how much is in there for you!

I am planning on saving up at least $500 in this account (in steem) over the next year. So what will that look like?

Approximately $10 a week (which is approximately 25 steem a week at the current market price), that I will be buying fresh and depositing into the @dreemsavingsfund account - or transferring from my current @dreemsteem account.

$500 is 1250 steem (at the current market value). As the account grows, and as more people want to join - this account could build up a nice little daily upvote! Your % upvote will be proportionate to how much you have deposited vs. how much is in the account. Simple!


As you can clearly see from the graph, both people are heading to Block Party. One is climbing the green money bars, and the other is like - "Hey can I come too?" Of course you can, little clay man. Of course you can.


Sorry for tagging a billion people, hehehe but I am going to tag all the people that came (or some who had to cancel unexpectedly) to the Alliance Block Party in CO, and people that have mentioned wanting to come to the next one! If you want to start saving... feel free to join me on the @dreemsavingsfund - or make your own account! (but the more steem in one account - the better the vote for all of us hehehe Why not join forces where we all benefit!)

If you're interested, send me a DM or just leave me a comment below! If not - no worries! I'm doing this for anyone who would benefit and for all the people that seemed interested in meeting up! Some of you - I know you're out of the country... but... I still am tagging you because I want to hug you someday LOL

Oh my goodness, this is brilliant! It could be almost painless to save up for the next event a year from now. (Of course I've sworn to never power anything down until hell freezes over, but maybe that will actually happen before the next Block Party. Who knows!) Thanks for getting this going. You rock!

I totally started a powerdown because of this
I am powering down 50 steem, one for each week

Maybe Steem will be $100 each soon?

yeah right?!?!?! i thought so too!!! :)

but no need to power down! You can use your payouts weekly!

or.... you can buy some steem and keep it in your account and then just transfer weekly
know what i mean?

so many options!! :)

i hope this really helps people to be intentional about going - and once its in there - they can't take it out until the time! so it will REALLY be set aside for the Meetup!

Ohhh-Just need a lesson on how to do that. I’m so glad you have all this knowledge so I can pick your brain! Use Steem as a savings account? Interesting!

And by the way, I LOVE that picture. I think it's one of the best I took on the whole trip!

it is the BEST picture!!!!!!!!!

I'm confused but snook will help me. Paid for in advance... wow, stress relief!

Its just like those little savings accounts that moms open for their kids ... vacation funds or Christmas funds.

we used to put in like 3 dollars a week into our little booklets hehehe

and then Dec 1 - you pulled it all out and had money to buy Christmas gifts

Imagine THAT... but instead - you're putting aside Steem into ONE big joint account (where your OWN records are kept - so you know exactly how much you have) but.... this big account will grow and then give you upvotes daily! :)

and also - if you enter the weekly draw by depositing at least 10 steem - you get a chance at winning another $5 towards your account (for the end when you arrive at the Meetup!)

its like a win win win win win! :)

Dreemie's creating a Layaway paln for anyone who wants to save for the enxt party.
Whatever you put in will be returned to you in abt 50 weeks. 60 days or so before the next party

BUT, you also will get UPVOTES on your posts between now and then!

WIN/WIN!

so cool!
Its a Layaway plan!
Like from the past... what a great way for us to plan for the NEXT BLOCK PARTÉ

yeah! just like those! hehehehe a little bit each time and then voila! :) you're so much closer to your goal!

and then when you see everyone who is investing... you can also get to know all the Block Party attendees early so you are really excited to meet them face to face! :)

its like a pre-Party meet and greet hehehehe

I totally am powering down.
50 weeks?
Powering down 50 Steem... one for each week.

woo hooooo! that will get you a nice little corner of the broom closet!

you didn't want to eat did you? hehehehe

A tag! A tag! 😄 With all of your savings you’ll be able to go to a block party in the Bahamas! 🤗

not just me!!! the Bank of Dreemie is for everyone. we all win. we all go hehehehehe

Yeah, but we all go to the BAHAMAS. 😄🤣😂

Or Grand Turk! Turks and Caicos is nice! Hehehehe

@dreemsteem, In my opinion little Savings can become that well which will going to reflect as big watery well which helps us when we real need it.

Good wishes from my side and hope that whatever initiatives you are taking you will succeed in it and will enjoy amazing travel times. Stay blessed.

I will do what I can once I figure out where I am in a few days LOLL

GREAT idea!!

yes - figure out what you need to save up - and then divide it up into 50 or so weeks... and then just start setting it aside! :) you could just take from your weekly payouts - or buy fresh steem! whatever! just a little at at time :)

I frign love that picture!!!
