Feature: ML Wallet App

     The advancement of technology has made our life easier and more convenient. I had my first mobile phone when I was in second-year high school and if my memory serves me right, I use it to call or send messages to my family and friends. As the year passes by, mobile phones became the tool to access the internet, send email, take beautiful photos, or a handy device for navigating and so on. Fast forward to today, they're now mobile wallets too. 

     According to clearviewfcu.org, a mobile wallet is a digital way to store credit, debit, ID, and gift cards so that purchases can be made using a mobile smart device rather than a physical card. It has advantages and disadvantages for the users but after the pandemic hit, the pros outweigh the cons. Mobile wallets became a necessity, a tool that became part of our daily life. I recently discovered a M Lhuillier's official mobile application called ML Wallet that allows users to send and receive money, buy eLoad, pay bills, shop online, and more using a smartphone. It is interesting to know that ML Wallet App offers a wide array of services making it more convenient to the users. Scroll down to know more about the exciting features of this mobile application.

I have three sisters and we always play cashier or supermarket kind of gameplay. Fast forward to today, I'm happy to share that we are still playing this kind of game but online.

     I was looking for a free online game months ago and I stumbled on mortgage calculator website and saw that they are offering different money games. I got intrigued when I spotted that they offer free money games for kids. The ten-year-old in me got excited and decided to check out the games.
