I Earned $20.356 Through Captcha Typing!!!

Okay, first don't ask me how immediately!

Second, this is legit!

Third, this is not an easy money!

I stumbled into this captcha typing back in September as I was looking for an online work I can do while at home waiting for my kindergarten's school day ends. Of course, I wanted a work that's easy, there is time flexibility, and can actually pay out. I search, study,  and tried online test but mostly I fail. Transcribing, paid surveys, telegrams, PTCs. I can't get in. I can't do the ESL because I am not good at English.

Eventually, I settled to just captcha typing. Anyway, since I'd only be doing it during my free time and when I am not doing made to order crochets, win win for me. I can do it on cellphone or on desktop. (Doing captcha right now, while writing this entry)

Instead of mindlessly scrolling facebook or instagram, I opted to do the captcha typing. This is just a sideline though, not something you can consider as mainstream income. First, it takes a long time to earn $1. Second, you need to complete 500 entries of captcha for only half the amount. Third, due to many subscribers, sometimes captcha is not actually loading. Fourth, this is not for everyone who doesn't want to waste time doing captcha for such a small amount. Tough.

So why do I do this? It was simple. I am a believer that I cannot just picked up 20 pesos while walking around the neighborhood or that I will earn more from scrolling facebook or instagram. In addition a small amount each if added everyday will eventually sum into a higher amount.

Why not just take a nap and rest instead? I sleep at night when my shift is during the day, why should I'd be sleeping again in the day? I am productive during the day so why not spend it doing more? Of course, there were days I don't feel like doing it, so I just let it slide. No pressure. My account is still there.

I tried two: 2captcha and Kolotibablo. Payment can be through coins.ph. From bitcoin amount to peso wallet. From peso wallet to my choice of bank account (BPI), free of charge. For 2captcha, link is here: https://2captcha.com?from=6320190 . I'll have a different post for 2Captcha.

Let me first discussed Kolotibablo. This is the sign in page of Kolotibablo. Click this link: http://getcaptchajob.com/doown7yc7z

Once you signed up and is in you will find the following.

Just like in any work or activity you embark, remember to read the FAQ on the lower part to know the do's and don'ts. If you feel you agree on the conditions provided, you can go ahead to working on it.

I only work the image captcha (IC). It has a lower bid than Re-captcha. There are requirements that my desktop and my phone doesn't support. See above photo.  That is why I settled to work on IC and Fun captcha.

When you hit the "Work via Web", it will take you the following. Of course, you can explore other things. Since, I am more of a basic type of person, I choose not to complicate myself to installing the certificates and plug ins.

Note that you will need to type 500 captchas before your balance in the $Acc. Balance will be moved to Protected Balance. The top part which has a blue moving line tells the time you have to solve the captcha. Try to solve the captcha within the allotted time frame. The lower part of this page (as shown above) will show the captchas you've typed, the loyality bonus points, the balance on moderation, the protected balance, RP, and your position in typing the captcha.

To withdraw your earnings, go to Finances, then Withdaw. You will be able to see your protected balance. Choose Bitcoins. Minimum amount to withdraw is already listed.

Right now, the Select option is not available for me since my balance for minimum amount to withdraw using Bitcoin is not enough. Once you click the Select option, it will take you to your set PIN and let you choose how much of your earnings you will withdraw. Then input your Peso Wallet.

It will take at least a minimum of an hour for your balance to be reflected in your coins.ph in PESO amount.

From coins.ph to my BPI account, free of charge.

Right now, my protected balance is still low. Previously, Bitcoin is lower so I was able to withdraw at $8 and $11 respectively. The minimum in BTC is 0.002BTC. Check below my payment details which was processed from Kolotibablo withdrawal page to my Coins.Ph Peso Wallet. If you need coins.ph link, click this link: https://coins.ph/m/join/9dcaql

Tips:

If the loading is too slow, you can set the discount to custom. But you should remember that if discounted then the smaller amount of pay is being paid. I don't do this often.

If you can't read the captcha, just click Skip. Be careful though with clicking the Skip button too often as this has complication. Kolotibablo might think you are lazy doing captcha.

The loyality goes down when you don't work for days. I've reached 5+12% already but you can see I am back to 2+5% because I haven't been able to work on most days recently.

Remember to set your PIN and to know that PIN by heart  so you will be able to withdraw.

Know that this is not an easy money. Do not attempt to work on it if your patience tolerance is low. This is not for everyone and like I mentioned not for mainstream income.

A lot of reviews mentioned that this is a waste of time and I agree. In my own opinion though, scrolling facebook and instagram over a couple or more hours, is more a waste of time.

***I will try to update this post when my balance is enough to withdraw so I can show it to you.

Happy captcha typing!

How To Earn Extra Income ~ Our Way

As the sole earner in the family, I controlled the outflow of the money from my salary. I am addicted to savings and investments. I am now in full control of my income as an employee. You would believe when I say that before all my salary were just for debt payment. It virtually disappears and doesn't land on my hand.

Nowadays, it has become better. Thanks to my husband and my little girl who did not only inspire me to step up but also to act on my financial mess.

As a family of three, we practice frugality at home or where ever we are. We continue to educate ourselves to wise money handling and financial literacy. We don't stop learning the ropes of how money earn while we sleep.

Since we have moved in our apartment a year ago now, we've been trying to handle living solely as us. And aside from my salary, we've devise ways to earn more.

1. Junk shop trips. We've already earned Php106 for all the junk shop trips since over a year ago. These are cartoons from the groceries.

2. Online shops. We resell brand new items through social medias and Shopee. Most often, it is a drop ship form. We also sell our preloved items. It is a wide market when most people no longer have time to go to the malls.

3. We make homemade treats such as leche flan.

4. I crochet items for sale.

5. We sell boneless bangus, tapa and longanisa.

We manage to mark up a little to these items. But earning from these if sum up is still a good and decent way to earn.

It all boils down to my determination to earn more and be able to achieve the financial stability we've always dream of. Yes, it is somewhat time consuming, small time, and sporadic, however, truth be told, it also means that if we wanted something we can always find ways to earn money one way or another. Sipag at tiyaga.

"Kung may tiyaga, may nilaga."

Philippine 200 Peso Bill

Did you know that I was able to save Php 10, 410 for the whole year of 2018?

Right.

I got addicted to saving this 200 peso bill which rarely comes my way. When it lands in my hand, I automatically keep it.

What triggers me to save this 200 peso bill?

The IPON Challenge of 2018.

I only did complete the 1 peso, 5 peso coins and the 200 peso bill. The rest, I still need to fill up. If I completed the challenge, it will be Php 53, 750.

I did take the challenge seriously especially on this 200 peso bill.

This denomination according to wikipedia "is Philippine president Diosdado P. Macapagal is currently featured on the front side of the note, and since 2017, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's inauguration as the 14th President of the Philippines (EDSA People Power II) is on the lower-left side on the note just in front of the scene of the Declaration of Philippine Independence, and the scene of the opening of the Malolos Congress is also present on the obverse side of the note. From 2010 to 2017, the Aguinaldo Shrine (labeled as "Independence House") and the Barasoain Church were featured on the front side of the note. The Chocolate Hills and the Philippine tarsier is featured on the reverse side. Currently, it is the rarest denomination circulating in the country."

Even Wikipedia mentioned that this is the rarest denomination. Hopefully, I'd be able to complete this challenge this year for my plan travel next year. :)

Let Me Vent A Little

Married for 6 years.

And a little girl who's going to enter elementary this coming school year.

Currently renting an apartment.

No vehicle here in our rented place.

Fixed Bills (Electricity, Internet and Post Paid Line)

Parents' monthly stipend.

Single income household.

My premise at the moment.

In a span of 6 years, a lot has changed. Motherhood has changed me drastically. Personal finance has significantly changed my money view. It eventually lead me to live a debt-free life which I am enjoying right now. There are bills to pay. There are savings and investments we set aside each and every month.

One thing though hasn't changed.

For all my working life, I have been the breadwinner of the family. Yes, I am the eldest. And now that I have a family of my own, it slightly changed. From my parents' point of view. Nonetheless, it is almost the same scenario. Allow me to vent out a little.

Recently, both parents has been sick. One of my sibling with her child live with them. Another one just a town away with his own family. We have a feud way back involving his mother-in-law and his wife. My brother and I eventually settled it. My sister in law and I just became civil a little over a month ago. She doesn't attend any family gatherings where I am there. Maybe because 'nahihiya' of what she did to parents. I won't elaborate more. My parents weren't perfect. And they always say in tears, "Porke ba mahirap lang kami, ganito lang". But they are okay now.

 Families, I know there will be time that we don't talk. Have some inevitable quarrels. After all, though we were raised in the same roof, we have different experiences and outlook to what has transpired. Unique individuals. We are shaped by what we have experience. The environment we thrived in. And so on and so forth.

When the parents were sick, my family (husband, little girl and I) is away. I begged the brother to visit them and bring them to the doctor. He has the means. He said yes, but it didn't happened until we came home. He was busy constructing his newly built home. I was so frustrated. (Tambak talaga ako ng suliranin these days...) And disappointed because it would have prevented a much bigger amount of expenditures.

My father has already seen a doctor and did a series of laboratory test. He is taking his medicines now. However, my challenge is on my mother. I got her to the doctor after I get mad because she wouldn't want to go to the hospital. And since it's been three weeks, her condition needed more test and treatment.

I dig up on my emergency fund. There is no worry, I have money saved.

But this situation made me realized further more.

One, I need to save up more on my emergency fund because no one will be able to help me, or my family, or parents when something happened. God forbid.

Though we are four children, life is now getting in the way. This is a testament of real life. The sad reality of when parents are old. Please don't judge us. If you don't experience this, I am happy for you.

Two, my parents are old and I need a lot of patience. They are stubborn when it comes to going to the doctor. I always tell them, that life evolved. There are social changes. Environment changes. Technology changes. What was working well on their hey days, some are no longer applicable. The doctor said, one of the cause of the severe flare is stress. Tanong ng nanay ko sa akin' "Bakit nuon wala naman yang stress stress na yan?" Actually, there been a lot of source of stress for her lately. This involved my cousins and grandmother, but I won't be elaborating further here.

Three. If I resign this early, I will not be able to save more? It's a question which is bugging me for quiet sometime now. You can read previous post. Isasapalaran ko ba ang comfort ng family ko at ng parents ko? Will there be life after I leave this present job? Will I regret my decision to resign? And a lot of what ifs?

My planned month to leave my work is June just right in time when my little girl goes back to school in July. Yet, until now, I haven't had a solid response from all my applications. I am 38 and if I live in the next 25 years, what I have set aside is still not enough to cover all my expenses. I need a replacement job.

The question now is, if I postpone my resignation, kakayanin ko pa ba? The stress this job function is giving me is undeniably worse. It's giving me sleepless nights. I know that no matter how I try to learn and understand everything about it, I am really finding it difficult to keep up.
