OMG! I am so excited!

Hmm, I think that you should probably decide as to whether to let it sit, by deciding on how long it will take to be transferred to you. If it only takes a few days, I'd say let it sit in there. If it takes more then a week, I'd say take it out and then put it away for a rainy day, or for whatever means you need it for such as the car part you were saying you'd need.

Congratulations on achieving payout. I always cash out on the first of the month, and then at least I know that by the tenth it will be in my paypal account where it can stay or I can withdraw if I need it. If I leave it in Helium then I know I won't be able to get to it for another month, whcih could be a problem if I really depseratley need the money.

That's great news! It's always better to get more than you anticipated. I can't really say whether you should leave it in there or not, that's your judgment call. But if you request it and then keep it in PayPal, you can access it in a few days. If you keep it in Helium, you won't get it till August 10. If you have a hard time saving money and don't want to be able to get to it, Helium may be your best solution. Congrats again on reaching payout this month. It's great to have to be worrying about what to do with your money instead of worrying that you don't have any, right? I wonder what the biggest amount that anyone has received from Helium (in a month)?

congratulations on your payout!:) i would love to receive my first payout here in mylot maybe this month? lol i still need to work harder!!

Again Congrats Canellita! This is getting to be a habit of ours isn't it? While I know that you will be out of a job tomorrow I think I would have spent the money on the car part. You need your car no matter what even when you are out of a job and the car won't fix itself so I would consider it a good way to spend the money! You are right, it always seems when one door closes...Ain't Life Grand??

Hi Canellita, congratulations! The first online earnings is always very sweet! What's your goal? If you can make it to 100 articles by the end of July 09, you will gain another writing star. I think you can make it. Just need a lot of determination to write. At an average of three articles per day, you need to write for twenty three days to hit the 100th article mark. I always cash out from Helium. Feel better to have the money sitting in paypal than Helium.

This is a great thing. I am also aiming to make the payout in next few days - may be a week or so .You seem to be quite fast though in reaching the payout . I am also planning to increase my speed towards making the payout .
