Are you Filipino? Are you going to have a wedding soon? Do you think you\u2019ll do the money dance? Do you think you\u2019ll do the money dance even if the answer to the last question was no? Don\u2019t want to get stabbed with pins? I have the perfect solution for you.<\/p>\n

iPhones have paved the way for in innovative technologies. There\u2019s a device out there called Square which enables anyone to conduct credit card transactions for a very low fee. The fee is %2.75 per swipe. Now sure if you\u2019re a business and you own retail store the transaction fee is lower than that but we\u2019re talking about the ability to mobilize and remove yourself from the register.<\/p>\n

The Square gets you paid. It sure does. What does this have to do with the traditional Filipino Money Dance? Instead of doing the traditional money dance where you pin money to the bride or groom for a dance, have the Square handy and swipe away.<\/p>\n

Here are my problems with the traditional money dance:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pins hurt \u2013 Yes they do and sometimes you don\u2019t have a place to pin things. Also, imagine putting pins on your expensive dress.<\/li>\n
  2. No pins or using the wrong pins \u2013 Pins run out. Although, I\u2019m an avid wedding crasher and I bring my own pins\u2026not straight pins, safety pins. Also, someone might forget the pins.<\/li>\n
  3. No Benjamins \u2013 Guess what, you get dollar bills because people forgot or didn\u2019t think you\u2019ll do the dance so they didn\u2019t hit up the ATM before heading to your wedding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
