I have recently rediscovered Lenddo. I was invited by a mummy blogger friend, Trish, to join this interesting site a few months back. I have signed up as she requested but never really got the chance to explore the site further. Upon reading, though, I discovered that Lenddo might just be the next best thing to Paypal + earning online!

With a lofty goal to save the lives of millions, Lenddo initially aims to tap into members’ online reputation + networks to access financial assistance + services, especially in times of needs. If you happen to be a tech-savvy mum who is online most hours of the day, then, this site might just work wonders for you. All you have to do is make your online presence felt. Tap into your social media: Twitter, Facebook, email, + use your connections to build up your online reputation, thereby building your credentials to avail of a Lenddo educational loan or a Lenddo home repair loan, in the future. Anyone who creates a reputable online network + links qualifies for a loan, + what’s even better is you also help build that online reputation simply by just updating your Member Information, which includes adding your Contact, Financial + Employment data, which shall be used in your loan assessment later on.

Personally, I am thrilled at this opportunity, Lenddo not only gives us helpful money tips + other invaluable information, but it also gives us access to resources so that we might be able to have that chance of building that dream business in the future, or whatever plans we might have, just by building our online network today.

For a detailed discussion on how Lenddo works, check out this video:

That this mum is a cheapskate is something I’d readily admit to, hands down! Not only have I been practical since I became a mother, but I also got conscious of how I’d spend the family money, discerning which things are priorities {like the little man’s needs + the basic needs around the house, bills to pay, + the likes} from mere wants {hobbies + the likes}.

Needless to say, I have also been very stingy when it comes to spending for my own. I hardly buy new stuff for myself, oh well, except for the regular stash of postcards I get from the bookstore whenever I find the opportunity, + will always be in the look out for special promos or discount sale whenever I buy new clothes + things. + did I mention I hardly buy new books, either? I get my supplies from online book shops that sell pre-loved novels + paperbacks at cheaper price. Or when needed, I’d only go for cheap cell phone cases, too. Not only that, I have also given up on those expensive salon services + opt for the quality yet economical counterparts, just like what I did last weekend when we went to a local salon for a much-needed hair trim. I paid P200 for my sister’s + my haircut + a pedicure. What a deal! Had I been to one of those posh salons in the mall, I would’ve paid for much more 😉

I guess it is very important that we keep tabs of our expenses + make it a point to save as much whenever we can. We can use the extra money to buy other more important things or add it up to our bank savings for emergency use in the future. Money does not grow on trees, after all, + it does pay to be money-wise!
