"Saved by the bell-Paypal" So this morning while I am cooking our food, my partner asked me about the due date of our electric bill for this month, as he knows that we still haven't paid it yet. I told him the due date was this coming July 30, so we still have four days left to pay our bill. Then he asked me if I still have money and I told him that the money that I have in my pocket was just **Php 1,000($18usd),** and I still needed to budget it until his next salary. He knows that I buy some groceries after he received his salary. I prioritize to buy our basics needs, such as laundry soap, our son's bath soap, shampoo, coffee, some ingredients in the kitchen and our sons milk as those are really important. Buying those stuff from the store is more costly than buying them inside the grocery store at one time. For a minimum earner like him, his salary is literally not enough. I swear π, and that is why I'm always in a serious battle each day. Trying to budget the money that was left in my pocket is my biggest challenge. The inflation had increased a lot, and if before I can still buy a viands below 100 pesos ($2) this time I can't anymore. Since our money is not enough, he then told me that we will just be going to pay our bill after he received his salary. *~~Tight budget is real π. And I wouldn't deny that we are currently broke π. Why would I pretend and hide about it if it's true, atleast I am not begging for help. My partner is working and at the same time I am grinding. We are striving to survive~~*. I just then agree as I can't convert my little earnings right now, as the market was in bloody red again. π€¦ So this afternoon I was using my sons phone to check my Facebook account. It's been awhile since the last time I checked Facebook. I decided to open it to divert my attention as I don't wanna get demotivated because of stress. My phone don't have Facebook app anymore. I uninstall all the unused app's that I had in my phone, and I include Facebook and even messenger just to save my phone from being drowning, as the storage was already full.π While I was scrolling in my newsfeed, I came across to a familiar advertisement. I remember that I tried to make my account to that site, so I decided to clicked the link to get access to my account. However I find out that my account wasn't verified yet, and so I needed to sign up again using my email address to get the verification code and get verified. After signing up, the site notify me that the code was being sent to my email address. So I then open my email address to get the code. Upon looking for the said verification code an email from PayPal caught my attention. I'm sorry I didn't get a screenshot for that email and I can't find it anymore in my inbox. But I guess if you have already received a reward from PayPal then I'm sure you already know about it. I immediately open the attached message, and I got excited as the message was stating that my reward is waiting for me to claim and I must claim it before July 30,2022π. I know it was legit as I have already received my first reward from PayPal last year and so I grab the opportunity to claim the said reward. Using the reward link from PayPal, I log in to my account. Upon opening I automatically received the $40HKD to my account. *Yaayyy may pambayad na ako sa bill naminππ*
Anyway, you might be wondering why the currency is HKD(Hong Kong Dollar) as suppose it should be USD or PHP. Well, it was because that account was been created during my stay in Hong Kong and I set my primary currency to HKDπ. I then converted my reward into our local currency (Peso), so I can easily transfer it to my personal bank account. $40HKD is Php 275.42 in peso. Enough for our electric billπ.
After I converted my reward I then send the funds to my personal bank account with the help of my Maya (Paymaya)visa card. However since transfering some funds from PayPal had a transaction fee I only received Php 238.30 pesos. Lol. So funny! But nowadays transaction fee is everywhere. π. Luckily it was still enough for our bill as our current bill is only Php 228.20
_____________________ Now, I can finally pay our electric billπ. Thanks to PayPal, for considering my account though I am not using it anymoreπ. This is all for today and thank you for reading. All photos from this blog including the lead image was mine or else stated otherwise.

Hahahaha oo nga sis, di ko talaga inaasahn yun..gawa ka na sis sayang yung reward.
Meron akong balance sa paypal ate kaso di ko ma withdraw. Kulang pa sa minimum limit haha. Beke nemen po.
Gusto mo e-withdraw?
Wow! I'm happy for you! That's a miracle. Over here in my country we have restrictions to use PayPal, it's always a difficult task to withdraw money from PayPal.
Oh, so sad. Withdrawal in PayPal has a minimum but if you're gonna use bank account you can withdraw it with the smallest minimum amount.
that's great sis! ako 5 usd ang binigay ni paypal last year, ginamit ng pamangkin ko since nanghiram say ng paypal account ko para dun ipasok ang sweldo nya since na limit yung account nya, sarap pag ganun sis, Blessing din yun .. I'm happy for you,. buti at pwede kayong magbayad thru paymaya sis, yung electric cooperative namin dito hindi eh, kailangan pa talaga puntahan
Oo sis pwede magbayad sa online. Meralco naman kasi linya namin. Mabuti na nga lang at nakakuha ako ng libre, hahahaha makabayad na din ng bill.
mabuti naman sis, nasa malina ka pala, mero din naman ibang electric suppliers na pwedeng bayaran online, sana yung sa anmin din soon .
wow congrats sis.laking tulong ang mga pagive aways ng paypal.mga ilang ulit na rin akong nakareceive ng reward from them
Kaya nga sis, mabuti na nga lang at nakareceive yung luma kong account βΊοΈ.
wow swerte yun kasi usually mga old paypal accounts ko di talaga naka receive ng reward
Be aware of some fake sites also. Congrats you find something lucky and paid your bill. I also have not used paypal due to their high fee in my country.
We also have fees here, like 0.1 to $1 depends on the amount. Yes dear thank you for reminding me.
San mo pinadala? Sayang yung $5 ko sa paypal, d ko na maopen account ko π€£ Anong link yan. Pashare haha
Bakit di mo maopen? sayang naman. Basta nasa sayo pa yung email address at phone number pwede naman e forget password. Pinadala ko sa Paymaya visa card ko..π . Pag hindi kasi banko di pwede e-withdraw ang below 500 pesos.
Well, that was a good idea to delete the facebook because it eats time and battery both but I use messenger for texting and calling via internet, so i would choose to keep it.
Same sis, financially broke ahahahhah
