A month ago I had 200 Steem, and honestly I powered down about 2000 SP to get my Splinterlands cards maxed out.. However, since then I have been battling to earn DEC and selling my season rewards cards for STEEM to power up.. I have 3 kids and am very tight on finances.. But with my DEC and Cards I am up from 200SP to 700SP in like 1 month..

Now I have been here since July 2016 and I would agree I WISH I had at least 5000SP, but before Steemit I was doing surveys to earn like .00001 Satoshi so it was an upgrade for me.. I have never been financially blessed and I don't earn much at my job. So for me 1000SP is a personal goal of mine hopefully by the end of Summer but after that I will be aiming for 5k!
