Eating well

The HEB and Paypal 4% savings test was successful.  I scraped off the $28.44 that $2000 earned in the HEB account since over $2k is only a 1%.  And I left the $.17 in Paypal that $200 earned in a month or so in the savings account.  There is no limit in the Paypal account so the FDIC maximum is basically the limit.

 

Not a huge amount of money but zero pain in using systems I already use in a slightly different way.  So much better than creating new accounts in banks I don't know but I really hate getting 1% or less on money in savings accounts so this is a good experiment and an easy program to maximize my money sitting around.

I'll likely put any savings I scrape together into the Paypal savings account.  The slow transfer actually works to my advantage dampening impulsive savings usage.

 

Meanwhile after the Tennis Channel debacle I had transferred that money into regular Paypal (not savings) and was going to use it for glasses and then decided that I didn't really NEED glasses but I was going to need a replacement for my three year old Sketchers slipons that I've had for three years.   In my mind I rededicated that money and then haven't been able to find suitable shoes.  Still working on that.

And while that was percolating I discovered that Paypal had used most of the hard earned Prolific money I was spending in my mind for other things on my latest HomeChef order.  On the good side I worked on Prolific and bought us 8 good meals.  Not bad.  

Today's goal is to return the shoes to the Amazon return and cut the grass.
