My simple way in sharing my little earnings with my parents

My friend is asking me how I will send money to my parents every month. And I said to her that I will just send something if I have little earnings with my online freelance writing. And I’m using money gram dot com with me linking my PayPal master card debit card. Before, I will just have to go for the pickup agent feature of money gram but I’m tired of dictating the reference numbers and the authorization numbers to my parents because sometimes I will have to dictate the wrong one. So, what I did, I opened an LBC ATM by calling the toll free number of LBC Manila and they send an ATM card to my parents. After that, they also gave me an RRN so that I can put that number every time I will send online money to the LBC ATM that I opened for my parents.

It’s is convenient for after I will process my online transaction, I will just call my parents that I send something and they can withdraw it any time they need to. Though, the online processing fee for money gram with my last transaction is $16 from $14. But that’s fine for now that I still don’t know how to drive. And also, sending money gram online is very safe way of giving money abroad! But again, I will not send something if I will not have my own earnings since I don’t want to ask something from my husband for his earning is already budgeted for our family here in CO not unless it’s emergency and I don’t have my own savings.
