from the define-"best" dept.

I have been using PayPal off and on since 2012 for 2 main reasons.

1 - Convenience, I didn't have to enter a credit card every time I purchased from a site other than usual trusted sites where I store my payment information, like Amazon, and sending payments to friends/family was simple.
2 - Peace of mind.

I recently found that the assumption of (2) was wrong, so I fired PayPal. I don't want to get into the details. Beyond being therapeutic, it won't really make life better moving forward.

That brings me to the question, since I have fired PayPal, I am sure that someone will want to send me, or more likely, have me send them money. Before I go out and research the providers on my own, I thought I would come here. What do Soylentils suggest for peer to peer payments?

    Let me give you a 3-step process for getting rich.

    1. Save half your take-home pay
    2. Invest in broad-based index stock ETFs, or "target-year" funds, or something similarly boring
    3. Be patient


    Whether you just understand how wealth works, or follow a religion such as Rich Dad Poor Dad or Mr Mustache, you do indeed have a well-tested recipe to follow to become wealthy. Of course, most people decide that maybe being wealthy isn't so important to them after all, and won't make the needed sacrifices, they just like to complain as if it were important.

      Don't forget Financial Peace University. Dave Ramsay has his own little niche out there.

      So the first step toward getting rich is to have twice as much money as you need. Easy!

        You have confused "need" with "want". Most people do.

      You seem to have a very different definition of "rich" than me (or a very different take-home pay).
