All About Money

I’m trying to rack my brain for money-making schemes. I should be earning from my little sideline of selling glutathione but half of my customers seem to have forgotten they still owe me.

I am on the shy side and not the type who’d remind you of your dues. I just pray that you would remember how much you still owe. I know that’s not exactly a trait a business-minded person should have, but what can I do? I just don’t want to offend anyone, and I try to put myself in their shoes. I wouldn’t want someone to nag me about my debts. Although I must say that I’m also the type of person who won’t get a good night’s rest knowing I’m neck-deep in debt. Good thing my credit limit is just P12,000. Hahaha, pitiful huh?

I’ve managed to pay off my BPI credit card and cancelled it right away. I’m thinking about zeroing out HSBC and canceling that one too. When I got robbed, I lost my HSBC credit card as well as my bill. I forgot about my due date so I was surprised to see late charges. They seem to charge higher than BPI so I’ll probably look for a different credit company as soon as I settle my finances with them.

What to do? What to do? A few things have crossed my mind but I don’t know if I can pull it off.

- Sell bags for Christmas. What kind and how much?
- Sell cookies for Christmas. Who would buy them?
- Join a bazaar. Yeah right, as if I have time to do this!
- Publish a Tagalog romance novel. I actually interviewed someone who did this for a hobby, but I’m not sure I have the time and talent for this. You probably think this is cheesy, but for P10,000, I think it’s worth it. But then, I wouldn’t know where to take my work.

Det has long been convincing me to try being an insurance agent on the side. Like I said, I’m not the aggressive type. I’d probably be my only customer.

I wish I could be more like my brother who is earning money from buying and selling through eBay.

Hmm… any more ideas out there?

Caro had her garage sale recently. Maybe you have lots of nice things to sell.

Actually, we do have too much stuff. It's just that our neighbors, tumatawad kahit P20 na yung binebentang damit. Tinalo pa nila ukay ukay price. Haha. I told my mom to choose stuff we can get rid of. If our neigbors still wont take it for P10 a piece, I'll give them away!

Then maybe you should not be selling it to your neighbors. Sell it in somebody else's garage. Or you may tell your friends about it, post it in multiply, or in ebay. In fact, may mga ibang damit na pinapabenta sa kin sa Charo. Mayroon namang naibenta. He he.
