Arrived in time...... My bank goes back to zero.

Well if you remember my post a few days back, I had mentioned about spending my mylot payment for last month to buy shoes for my younger daughter. Well it arrived in time in just two days as promised. The size fit well( it's one brand that goes well with size) but they gave a different color. So we requested an exchange. It was picked the next day for exchange. And this time the delivery was delayed. But glad that it came in time. Tomorrow is her birthday and just now we received the package. . She was super excited, wore mask, sanitized the box, opened it and sanitized the shoes to wear and check. Well the excitement to get her favorite pink shoes was seen in her eyes My online earnings sitting for two years had accumulated to a decent amount. I ordered three dresses for myself and one headphone for my husband as a gift. Still a considerable amount was left. Yesterday I ordered a drawing display tablet for my elder one. She wants to pursue designing for her higher studies and to do some projects and to participate in upcoming design competition she needed one. It was costly and I had to pull in some money from her savings too. She had been saving her money since last one year for this. Now my online earning savings are back to zero and I have to start adding the money fresh again. It felt great to buy gifts for everyone including myself. So when someone says we earn pennies online, I have to say every penny counts and slowly the snail fills it's tummy Picture is of the pink shoes that my daughter just received

This is such a joyful post. I'm glad your older child knows how to save. I am trying to teach my daughter that as well.

We should teach financial responsibility from young age in an age appropriate way. These extra pennies do bring a lot of joy.

@arunima25 Those are the greatest gifts, when the children cannot stop smiling and using them. I am happy for you that you choose the perfect gift for her. She will long remember those shoes, especially given the year we've had.

I typically simply invest any of my online earnings. But there IS something to be said about your comment, "When someone says we earn pennies online, I have to say every penny counts and slowly the snail fills its tummy." It may not be much up front. But over time it does add up and has more value than we sometimes give it credit for.
Sometimes, as I am sure many of us might do, I scratch my head at the effort and time I spend here for what seem like mere pennies. And they ARE really mere...

Thanks. Besides a few gift vouchers, I earned 26 K in Indian rupees( 1 $ equals 75 Indian rupees). This was in two years and it comes as an extra income besides my regular job in my free time.

I too liked it. It's cute and pretty comfortable. Actually she outgrew all her old ones and needed one As far as I am concerned, I never keep more than 4_5 pairs. And that includes my huff puffy for home and a good exercising shoes. I need to really use them fully before giving away or throwing and purchasing a new one. And in this pandemic I have not used any of my footwear this year.
