Good day fellow mylotters, I am really eager to earn extra money in terms of article writing. As I do really spend a lot of time writing stories and submit those to the board for approval. Since I was able to make articles beyond their quota, so I am expecting they will give me a big points. And yes, that happens. When I checked the figures inside my e-wallet, the figures gone up. I was so happy then since I exerted much effort in writing those articles. Thus, I feel excited to do more. However, when I have re-checked my e-wallet on the next day, I was quite surprised. The points which they credited on my e-wallet has gone down. Hence, they deducted some points without any notification. But what can I do, maybe they are still computing it based on the weighted average earnings. Well, as they say, never count the eggs until it is all hatched. As never count the earnings until it is on the palm of your hand.

Hi Airasheila, yes, that is very disappointing. I think the only way to feel happy is to think about spending money only when it is safely in our bank. As long as we do not see the money in our paypal or our saving account, it is not ours yet. Some people have the bad habit of spending future money. When their sources of income dry up, they will have a lot of debt to repay. That is very miserable way of managing finance.

BULLSEYE!!!! You really got my attention with this topic darling.. ahaha do you still remember my topic (if you have read) regarding the wage increase I was expecting? It was not pursue due to constraints with the availble funds that the Provincial Government is dealing with at the moment. huhuhu. I actually did planned my expenses for that. I thought we could claim wage differential but due to non pursuance of it, i am suffering from just a little debt.. hehee

It is very irratating when things like that happen. I am in a kinda simalr boat. I am not counting on my help until it is in my hand and I can spend it. It's a terriable way to have to live life, but it seems like it is a necessary evil for us in this day and age. I mean why can't it be just a tiny bit easier...it is for the rich usualy.
