Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1640139 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:40:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1640139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I used to do the same thing.... but then I was hacked and the money got stolen :( they stole $100. Now I try not to keep money there and use it minimally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639586 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:55:25 +0000 cascademom 1639586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I got my Mother's Day present and wanted another set of napkins. I emailed them for another set. She wanted me to paypal her. It was perfect because I just sold something on here. More often than not, I treat it like play money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639575 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:51:22 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1639575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: Okay, so long as its not a totally crazy idea. I don't want to have to set up a new bank account for this little venture of mine, especially if it doesn't do well and I've already been the green light that so long as I buy my supplies from the same fund any money I make is -my- money to use however I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639539 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:41:02 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1639539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: nope! I saved most of my money in there and forgot it! Let's just say: it was like Christmas morning when I remembered it! (I had sold a laptop and an iPhone in the same month and I thought I spent the profit but I didn't!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639396 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:01:11 +0000 sunny 1639396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Paypal balance can get pretty high since I use it to get paid back from friends so yes it is real money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639299 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:33:58 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1639299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, it never occured to me to do this! I almost always save up my paypal money and transfer it to my bank account whenever the amount adds up to $50+... then categorize it as income and budget accordingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639296 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:33:13 +0000 PurplePumps 1639296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol, nope! I always xfer it and treat it like any other cash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639283 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:28:34 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1639283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Am I crazy for thinking that any money I start making from selling artwork (which I'll get paid through PayPal) will probably stay there until I decide to buy something? Like, say, a new camera or a tablet. Just to keep it separate from our 'regular' funds - use it as a sort of personal fund.</p> <p>Is that crazy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639272 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:26:44 +0000 mrsjyw 1639272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I never transfer paypal money :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639252 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:21:58 +0000 autumnlove 1639252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: haha, yes my kids too! I saved a lot of Paypal $ for a recent hotel room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639237 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:17:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 1639237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! If my balance goes over $50 or so I'll transfer it to my bank account. But anything below that is for me!! (well... for the kids really, who am I kidding) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639228 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:15:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1639228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually if I have money in paypal it's from selling something on my etsy shop or selling something here- so I usually use that to get J new clothes... But the last time I sold something I saved the money for DH's birthday present :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639220 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:14:06 +0000 Mamaof2 1639220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heck yeah!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-paypal-money-as-play-money#post-1639219 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:13:35 +0000 autumnlove 1639219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't bother transferring the funds to my checking when the amount is under $20....I will find random things to buy on Ebay or Etsy. Bows, stickers, bento accessories, cheap iphone cords, etc. </p>
