Apropos of my last post, I want to offer a little more detail about how I've benefited through this blog marketing thing I’m doing via PayPerPost. So far I've been paid -- actually deposited in my Paypal account and available to spend -- a grand total of $181, with another $244 on its way pending approval, and that's not even counting what I make today. Just yesterday I zeroed out my Paypal account to pay various bills, and today it's already back up to $22 in PayPerPost funds. Pretty cool.
After tithing on the money I've gotten so far and using some of it to pay my annual AAA bill, I transferred the rest (as of yesterday) to my bank account so I can apply it to that credit card that I'm oh-so-very-close to paying off. At this rate, by the end of March my PayPerPost funds will have finished paying off the entire thing. Also pretty cool.
The only downside right now is having to be strict with myself about how the funds are used. Knowing I've got more than $20 sitting in Paypal is really tempting me to hit up Michael's or a local yarn shop for supplies after work tonight. It feels like my Paypal debit card is burning a hole in my wallet. I should probably take it out of my purse and start leaving it at home so I won't be so tempted to spend it on non-debt-related items.
But if I do give into temptation? It's not that big a deal, because I know that in just a couple of days the funds will be replenished. It really makes the days between running out of my regular salary and the next payday easier to bear. Even if I don't spend it, just knowing it's there if I need it is a huge comfort.
