I have quite a bit of money sitting to be transferred into my payments account. Like a lot of money. I've been living very frugal the last month. Like VERY frugal. I guess I just feel like I have the mojo more when I know I have the comfort of withdrawing that money in the future. I know it's a little dangerous because something flukey could happen with my account and I could lose access to even transferring the money, but I don't know.

I have withdrawed very small chunks at a time ($15-45) the last few weeks, but I just feel like if I withdrawed a large portion of it or even all of it - my mojo would go down seeing "$0.00" again.

I guess I'm just a very delicately mental person. And I don't want to lose the flow I've been in

(excluding low earning days like today)

Not to be a downer but that is risky knowing some people have gotten their accounts suspended at which point Amazon keeps their money. You just never know.

Oddly this makes total sense to me. I don't feel like it should, but it does.

I agree. I'd transfer at least half of it to Payments.

I don't know. It's like working and getting a paycheck. Then you leave that paycheck with your boss who has no concern for your well-being and can fire you at a moments notice. And when they do, you AGREE that they can have all the money you let them hold. :eek::eek::eek:

i'll probably withdraw most it in the next week or so because 1) I need the money and 2) because all the reasons you guys stated. I've also left most of the money there because sometimes I spend it on things I don't need when I have it in my possession

im curious, did you use the new link when they were having server issues?
nope
i never had the issues with the original one so i never had to use the new link. They only said to use the new link if you had issues or something like that.

I understand but, it's a real mojo killer when you worked for $1000, or whatever, but want to risk it for superstition. I'd hate to see something happen and have him be forced to live frugally and find other ways of making money, heaven forbid.:)

EDIT but, to each their own. Prefs, yo.
