Woah! I was looking through my PayPal account and I notice that over the past year I’ve spent $126 on stuff other than hosting. Now, hosting is a cost that I’m conscious of and willing to pay but 126 dollars on other stuff? Ridiculous. I don’t buy much online! Or so I thought.
The only big purchase was a gift I bought my brother for his birthday since I figured it was better to buy something online and have it shipped to him in the US rather than buy the same here and ship it myself. Another small portion was a few donations I gave out. Apart from those every other purchase was $10 or less.
Seeing that I don’t get much in the first place I’d better start managing what little I have better. I’ve never thought of myself a spendthrift. I’m way better handling physical cash and real bank accounts than online money. I think the problem lies with me subconsciously thinking of online cash as play money. (Reminds me, I used to be pretty good at Monopoly, Mayfair was always mine)
In other news, I’ve got a verified PayPal account. So now even the sending limits can’t stop me from spending.




Wow dude, you seem to be spending big bucks. I don’t think I’ve ever had $100 in Paypal. Heck, I don’t think I’ve ever had more than $30. I do have a verified account though.
You guys withdraw the cash or get cheques. I get all mine through PayPal.
You get all your what, Chetan?
Dude, it’s PayPal! It’s not like they deal with much other than money.
Yes, but it didn’t make sense. I get like a fifth of my money through Paypal too. Oh well, nevermind.
Fine, you get the bulk of your money through cheques or as hard cash. I get all my money through PayPal.
Clear enough?
BTW, how much do you make per month?
Nothing, I’m going broke these days. I make nothing. Say, how do you make your money, I never see you do anything.
You drive around by car the whole day and you claim you’re broke? I can barely pay for petrol for my bike.
I do the same usual stuff but with a few more referrals. Only new change is I host two people for a grand total of $5 a month. Not much but it helps pay hosting.
That should pay fully for hosting dude. Nice.
Nope. Both of them add up to $5. Not enough to cover hosting. And who knows how long they’ll stick.
That’s there. You should go around recruiting like Marc does.
I suffer from a rather unfortunate flaw. I don’t have the heart to scare poor innocent souls in to paying me.
I just read the first few comments and what was I thinking?
Dope is a handy excuse.
