Today is Monday, and this is spring break month. Also, it is the beginning of a new month. What I have been doing with my mother’s help
for about the past year or so anyway. I have a Square card reader and account that was the idea of the rideshare guy a long time ago.
that card reader connects to my phone via Bluetooth and gives me the ability to accept credit card payments. Of course, Square takes their
processing fee before they deposit the remainder in my bank account. My square account was pretty easy to set up and I do not need another bill each month
so I went with them, they also handle any disputes that may arise so that is cool too. I initially set up that account then.
I also have a square terminal that does everything. It is pretty cool, it takes chip cards like the small reader that I have and
also has the ability to process cards via the strip or it allows me to key in the card if I need to. Also, they have some type of payment link
to process payments over the web. The Square Terminal has a screen on it that prompts the user of the card to sign and also it has a printer in it and
it holds receipt paper so it has the ability to print a transaction receipt on the spot. I connect it to my wifi but I think there is a way for it to
store multiple transactions and upload them when you can get to a connection, it is good for processing transactions in a remote location (like in my car)
and it is rechargeable too. So at the beginning of each month, I process via the terminal a charge that allows me to pay for all the bills for the month,
all my credit card minimum payments (6 of them), and her minimum payments for her credit cards (3 of them), the rent, my “Child Support” payment for my kid that lives in
a foreign country that never contacts me, with a heroin-addicted mother. This allows me to concentrate on creating content and selling that content. Which has not
really been going that well but I keep creating any way.
