Check your SSS contributions online!

SSS or Social Security System has finally made their website work and members can finally check their total contributions, loan status, claims, and so on.

Members should register first and you will receive the temporary password on your nominated email address. Register here: https://www.sss.gov.ph/sss/member.jsp

SSS and other government deductions on a pinay's paycheck may seem like a pain for the Pinay worker's wallet but don't forget that you will reap the benefits anyway! Being able to see our total contributions added with that of the Pinay's employers is very motivating to keep working and paying SSS contributions!

Think of it as another piggy bank that you can crack open when you retire. I am not sure though how contributions can be claimed even before one reaches the age of 60.

Remember that after registering online, keep monitoring your email until it comes. It may land on spam so also check that folder. Once you get the password, login with it right away and change the password to the one you prefer.

I actually received 3 different passwords and when I tried it, they did not work so I just clicked on forgot password. Now I can see my SSS contributions too!

Keep on making and saving money! :)

My First $10 from Project Wonderful

Last January, I blogged about how Pinays can earn money from Project Wonderful
and now after 5 months, I earned my first $10 from them!

$10 may seem minute to what other bloggers may earn but $10 is equal to more or less Php 500. And it all came from a hobby called blogging, not bad at all.

I just requested from Project Wonderful to forward my first $10 earnings to my Paypal account and I expect it to be done after 1 business day.

Project wonderful ads are still running in Pinay Money Maker and I hope I earn more next time.

Put project wonderful ads on your blog now :)

Rent vs. Gas Expense - Is it time to move closer to work?

Should Pinays consider paying on rent and relocating to a place nearer to the office rather than spend on gasoline that is ever increasing in price?

I think this is a good idea but it depends on how much you actually spend on gas or in transportation expenses such as bus, tricycle, and train fares.

Rent usually costs 4,000 pesos up to 8,000 pesos. Of course, more expensive rent fees means more upscale apartments and locations. Aside from savings that you can make from transpo expenses, you also save on time and earn more opportunities to catch some sleep.

Imagine being able to walk to your office building and waking up to a maximum of 30 minutes before work starts. Wow, that is a dream come true for many Pinays like me.

One drawback is that you cannot bring your family and all your comfy furnitures with you when you relocate but you have more energy to work and less worries on making it on time or getting home safe.

Consider these options, I too am in the look out for space. During these times of price increase and heavier traffic, renting is an attractive idea.

Can Mangoes Help Pinays Retire Early?

Yes I am talking about mangoes, the favorite fruit of many. Last year, I came across investment information on how one can buy or invest in a single mango tree for Php 30,000 ++ and as the tree grows and bear fruits, you will receive investment income each year.

The tree starts bearing fruits after 6 years, and at around the 10th year you would have 100% ROI. The tree continues to give you income up to 50 years - which means that even if you are just lazing around for 50 years, you continue earning passive fruity income. Returns range from Php 10,000 to Php 50,000 annually. So buying lots of mango trees seems a clever idea.

The company/business/organization behind this is Golden Harvest. I found their website at http://www.goldenharvest.com.ph. In the website, there is no mention of initial investments but I researched online and found some information from its early investors.

I asked my mom about it since it seems a very good type of investment to put money into and she said that like all investments, we've got to investigate, study, and be cautious. Their office is in Ortigas so if you want to know more, you know where to find them.

There are also commissions for referrers and sellers of the mango trees but I am not one of them :)

If you would like to share some information about Golden Harvest, please do leave a comment after this post.

My first $100 from Blogging

Yehey! Aside from being a hobby, blogging was able to give me $100. Some professional bloggers earn $100 a day and that's because they dedicate time and a hefty amount of braincells to their blogs.


$100 is like a milestone for me, convert it to pesos and that's around Php 4,000. Adsense is not yet included. Most of the money is from Smorty and a bit from Blogsvertise.

Yet, we can see more earning opportunities with Project Wonderful and a newcomer called Pay per Play. Pay per play is an audio ad that plays once your blog is loaded. The ad is around 5 seconds or so and they say it will let you earn more from Adsense.

It will be awhile before I can reach $100 in Adsense though, I'm not even at 50%. So what to do now? Since we've proven we can make money with blogs, it's a good time to start looking for more lucrative money making schemes.

I was at the Entrecard Shop yesterday and guess what, I saw that some people are already exchanging entrecard points for $25 via paypal. Not bad eh? I am dearly waiting to be able to exchange e-points for some dollars.

So, hold on to your blogs because someday, all those words will also give you $100 and more! :)

Project Wonderful - Earn money from your blog

Being a work from home person is always a dreamy thought and with the current developments in the blogging scene, it's possible to make blogging a full time job. Read: It's possible.

The latest money making website I found is Project Wonderful. They let you sell ad space on your blog and advertisers with the highest bid gets to display their ad on your blog.

They use what is called "ad boxes" and you can choose from different sizes, this means you get to choose how big or small the ads will be.

Project Wonderful pays via paypal which is available here in the Philippines. As you accept more ads, the bids will get higher too and that means more money for you!

Project Wonderful is only one way to earn money from home, back track to my previous posts to read more about making money out of your pinay blogs. If you have time to write and promote your blog, surely your work will be rewarded in time.
