WAHM WannaBe....(I Now Am, At Last!)

I checked my SSS online a while ago to see the total contributions I have paid so far after 12 years as an employed member and 2 years as voluntary member. When I was logged in, I explored a bit until I came to Transactions menu. I was surprised when I saw Salary Loan Application link. I swear it wasn't there the last time I checked. That was a couple of months ago though. I was thinking, is it now possible to apply for salary loan online? That would be great, I said to myself. Not that I planned to take out a loan from SSS now or in the next few days but I thought it's a great step on SSS part to make members do select transactions online.

I was able to discipline myself to do that ever since I got the card and I intend to keep that practice as long as I possess a card. For a self-confessed financial literate person that I am, that hurts. It hurts my pocket m
