Car Talk › Re: Total Value Of Your Cars Relative To Your Net Worth by samsard(m): 2:36pm On Apr 29, 2020

Yes. Loans are bad and it is crippling America.

The majority of them do not have $1000 in savings and they live from paycheck to paycheck.

The day of reckoning is coming.
If you missed an economy class, the whole world literally runs on debt! Loans aren't necessarily bad, even communist China owes a ton of debt. Unhealthy loans are the ones that are bad. I would rather live in a credit economy where the quality of life is good than in a hell hole like Nigeria not owing.
I sometimes laugh at people who scoff at consumerism in the world like it isn't what drives the global economy. If everyone just went back to the basics and stopped borrowing, then the world drives a lot more slowly and some people would have no place. There is no big world economy with a significant population that isn't debt-driven.

and yet a savings/investment culture trumps a credit culture anyday. Someone made a post on LinkedIn about the financial armaggedon in the US and the huge job losses, painting a grim picture of how a COO could end up working at a mall post COVID. 'Anything to stay afloat, till things stabilise, cos the BILLS have to be paid'. And truly it has already begun evident by the comments on the post by high ranking officials who are now jobless submitting that they truly will take any job, even if it rubbishes all efforts that grew their careers in the last 10-15 years. Why that level of desperation? It is cos debts will have to be repaid. Student loans, car loans, mortgage payments, even phones and computers are bought mostly on credit.

I take pride in that my car is mine 100%, and everything I own is mine 100%. I resigned at the height of the recession in 2015/2016, still did my MBA and got married. no shaking. Didnt take up another job till mid-2017. Took up another, and got transferred after 3 mths halfway across Nigeria, and three mths after the transfer I resigned again. Heaven did not fall. Till Jan 2019 when I took this current one. While, not everyone will be wildly crazily optimistic like me with my penchant for dumping jobs that don't make me fulfilled, I could have never had as much CONTROL over my life and life decisions, if I was neck deep in all manner of loans. Like the average American I would swiftly descend into a state of despair, willing to take anything. I believe strongly that we should be in CHARGE of our finances, and by extension lives.

A borrower is a SLAVE to the lender. To me, it is bondage. If it isn't for business I will never/pray to not ever have a reason to use debt to get personal tins done, so help me GOD.
Those debts are the same reason why they also have a higher standard of living. Would you prefer a credit-based America with higher living standards or Nigeria with hellish conditions?

Some take commercial bank loans to buy cars ... Do you know that? I guess that's what the op was referring to....
Most American car purchases are financed, AKA bank loans. The problem is that our mentality is that loans are bad. Developed economies literally run on debt! The issue is that it should be healthy debt

You earn based on how you work on the platform
grin LoL funny response. I'm a transcriber so I'm very much aware of that. I need a rough idea of the earning potential.
I know you need leaderboard stats to make $150 to $250 a week on Qaworld. I know most people fall below that. I also know 1000 audio minutes is roughly $200 on Qaworld. I have an idea how much a transcriber can make on Gotranscript because I also work on Gotranscript

Ohh.... God pls help married women o, it's like nigerian husband's are so unfaithful to an extent that those commenting are telling the woman to be grateful that her husband still finds her attractive, or is having sex with her alone. So a Nigerian man is not supposed to be having sex with his wife alone or find her attractive, huh! sad
Men cheat everywhere. Stop romanticizing foreign men.

how did you survive on GoT? Their terms and conditions are very strict? I'm trying to join, no way. SUPERPACK, are you on GoT?
Getting in is definitely not nearly as easy as Qaworld, you have to just give it a decent shot. Staying in is not hard for me because it's not my first time transcribing.

Guys, for we the newbies. How do we go about the PayPal section when signing up.

From previous posts, it seems the Lesotho PayPal now has some problems.

So what do we do? What's the way forward?
Which problems?

NikkyHabFabric:
An unusual amount starts at?
Hummmm, can't really say, it depends on what PayPal says.
Even address-verified USA business accounts get limited for unusually large transactions. Moving from $50 a week to say $600 can be a red flag although depending on source.
My first account got limited after withdrawing about $300, although to be honest my back n forth transactions were an obvious red flag for risk.
PayPal is looking at how risky everything you do appears.
I know someone has withdrawn $1300 in one transaction, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

Which site do you use. I work on crowdsurf but the pay is very low
How much would say is possible in a week with six hours a day on Crowdsurf? I heard 1000 USD monthly is realistic with hardwork
Transcription generally doesn't pay great.

I beg to disagree. Why would you discourage someone not to try and make attempt? Very wrong. Mind you, lot of folks from Kenya and other parts of the world still join every minute. Why won't our fellow Nigerian brethren join toohuh What folks need now is good internet speed and their eyes on the queue, that's all. I joined QA relatively new and I'm a couple of tens away from the Gold badge. This doesn't necessarily mean that I've not had my 1s and 2s. Been kicked out once also. It all boils down to being patient and persevere. Now, what I want y'all to know is that it you have issues decoding what is been said, there'll be issues because the transcription softwares will only give you ideas or options. Depend on the AI at our own peril. I no know as Efosa take fail you oooohuh Maybe you can explain better sir.
You missed his whole point. He doesn't feel like it's worth the trouble as it is right now. Personally, I don't have the patience to wait for calls. I literally started giving up on Qaworld since maybe late January or sometime in February.
But at the end, it's better than nothing for a lot of folks who have the patience for it.
I believe he's saying it's not worth the trouble and no one should be made to believe it's a walk in the park to join, just watch the queue and get calls.
But again, different life circumstances for different people and it's still worth the trouble for some.

I don't think anyone will ask you to bring any business document. In my case, I gave a business name that I'm yet to register and I haven't had any problems. Mind you, my account is fully verified with no transaction limit.
