using paypal to earn some interest on $ instead of spending it all (I hope)
Posted 01-14-2008 at 11:02:40 PM by nmeadows0101
we have a few debts that need to be taken care of and the easiest is when we get out taxes back.
However, I am planning on putting over 50% in money market and let it draw at 4.64% . I am hope to earn some $ instead of spending it all on debts which is so easy to do but t.d.jakes was talking about this and he is right-
we get a big lump sum of money and we pay bills or something and bam! there they are again and we are right back at square one again.
So I am going to put some back and use it as I need to while it is making money for us. I am hoping this works because I am sick or being sick and tried.

 |  just for a example -- lets say we put in 700.00 at 4.64% that is $32.48 a mo. interest ! I want to try to look at it like using coupons if I can but it is saving money too. that mo. total would be 732.48! then if you don't add anything just do 4.64% of 732.48 and you have more $. If you add $ before the end of the next mo then it will be more or if you take it away it would be less. |

| |  that is exactly what I do...I use my paypal as part of my annual budget...but on the plus side, I have it set up as a money market account so I am earning interest on it as well.!!! |

| | How do you use paypal as a savings account to earn interest? Is there a fee? I have an account for ebay is it the same? |

| | you use the same paypal account, you just need to set it up as a money market account. I am just starting to sell on ebay in the past month...but have already made money and all that just goes back into my budget |
