subject: Online Money Transfer Easiest And Fastest Way Of Transfer. [print this page] It is common to ask for a loan from your friends or relatives, but it affects your ego. This ego stays with you until you submit to your needs. So in the end you chase this ego from your mind and ask for the financial help. Just recently, I had gone through this phase.
Some months back my dad had this idea of remodeling the garage. He called the contractor as soon as he could and made him check the entire flooring and roof. The contractor in his usual fashion checked and gave his brief analysis. There were termite infestation, leakage and the walls had some cracks here and there. So it was going to cost a lot and these repairs were unavoidable. My dad, who was initially going with the idea of remodeling the garage, had now the problem of fixing it. The contractor came up with a cost estimate and when my dad checked the estimates, he became perplexed. The cost was way beyond what my dad had expected. It was so costly that my dad would have to use his life-long savings on this remodeling. He could have asked for my help though, but somehow his ego prevented him from asking me. My dad was always proud about his service in the defense. He never backed down, always gave his best and never asked for help from any one; somewhat of a self-made man.
A few days later, when I was casually talking to him over the phone, I asked him how the remodeling of the garage was going on. I knew about it because my mom told me a few days earlier about his plans for remodeling the garage but she never told me about the financial shortage. My dad, known for his dignified demeanor, told me that he did not get the right contractor, some charged expensive rates, and most of the plans did not impress him. He was trying real hard to avoid the topic. My dad is very belligerent and I knew he would do anything to finish what he had taken up. I decided to help him out by sending a small amount as a surprise to him through money transfer. I logged on to my computer powered by Verizon FiOS Internet, checked the list of service providers in money transfer.
I never knew what money transfer was before so here are some quick facts about what it is. Money transfer generally refers to one of the following cashless modes of payment or payment systems- Wire transfer, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Paypal. First, I decided to go for Wire transfer (Credit transfer) but it required both the sender and the recipient to have accounts in the same bank. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) involved the usage of the computer and did not have the option of issuing checks or transferring to a personal account. So I decided to go ahead with Paypal, as it was the most common and one of the safest modes of money transfer. I went to the website, provided the basic information such as my credit card number, name of the recipient, etc. Within minutes, I got the confirmation message on my mobile that the money had been transferred and the concerned recipient could collect the amount either through a check or a direct transfer to their bank account. I later told my dad about the money transfer. He went ballistic at first and he did not like this move even one bit. I had to resort to some tactics to make my dad accept my offering. I asked him to consider the amount as a loan, which he could pay me back whenever he wanted to. Gosh, that was real hard.
Just yesterday, I got an email from my dad, thanking for the amount and also he sent some pictures of the new garage. Somewhere in my heart I felt very happy for being able to bring a smile on my dads face. As a son, I had some responsibility and felt that I was able to do what I could in this way.
