There are a lot of things we need and want in life, I would just like to ask you guys, what could you buy with $10? What if you were given and extra $10 a month, what would you do with it?

I would do as I do with my Mylot money I would just let it build up until I had $100 and then do something with it then as I did with my first lot of Mylot money I bought my portable DVD player.

wow.. you already reached $100 with myLot money?? That's great. How long have you been 'typing' in mylot? =) But let's say you had $10 a month and you need to spend it or else it will be gone. What would you buy with it?

I would save it until I had a lot more to spend like maybe up to $30 or $40 and either buy something for my son or spoil it on myself :)

whats that 6082 near your name ? Is it the number of posts that you have made this month ? If so how much have you earned this month ?

It's the total number of posts I have made on mylot since I joined 9-10 months ago. The most I ever make each month is the minimum and a little bit more.

Oh.. Let's just say the $10 needs to be really spent each month or else it will disappear. What good could $10 do for your budget each month? =) Or simply, how do you spend your $10?

That would be 35 when converted to my local currency and with that I can fuel up my car for half a week. Nothing much but that is much better than nothing. prices of things are increasing all the time and the value of money is decreasing... I hat inflation!

Yeah, I hate inflation too. Wow, gas up your car for half a week, that's a good help though, right? By the way, from what country are you? Thanks very much for sharing your input. =)

Hello dear laydee. If I were given an extra ten dollars, I would save it without using it untill I have got enough to buy another laptop for me to use. That would be my plan and thought. hehe. Thanks.

I have a scheme that i set when i got my first job, that every extra coin in my salary that belongs to the tens not hendreds is saved as of now i save 31 dollars every month and if i get more 10 that will add up to 41 then after it is build i buy something tangible that i can remember for years. My 31 dollar savinf for this year i bought my partner a birthday present on his birthday which was on 15th. Nov. Thanks for your post.

Wow that's a good scheme. I have read that in "The Richest Man in Babylon". We're actually practicing that in our company. That's a great way to have savings. As for the 10.. what if you can't save it up. You need to spend it, what would you spend it for?

Then I will buy something good for myself and pamper myself by going to a beauty parlor for manicure, pedicure and some massage.

There was a period of time when I had only $10 to spend a week. It covers most of my transport costs and the rest was spent on food that allow me to last for the week. I am glad I had that experience and it makes me treasure what I have more now. and Thank goodness those difficult times are over.

It's really true that when you experience the difficult times you learn to appreciate the good things in your life. Thanks for sharing. By the way, how long did that 'tough' time last for you?

I have got many thing to buy with 10$.if i got that amount the first thing i would be buying would be is a gift for my parents.the second priority would be to give a treat to my friends.the other month i would be using that money to buy some decorative items for my room.maybe at certain months,i would prefer saving that amount.again for me there are countless choices.i would go for movies.parties and many things.i would say i would be having countless options,but then the money wont be big enough to satisfy all that.

Wow, you really like planning hey. :) Yeah, I guess that amount isn't really big enough to buy anything really special. But I guess an extra amount isn't bad at all. =) Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. =)

When you reach your nominated goal as mine is $10, once you reach that goal... if your goal is there..it is automatically transfered into Paypal or what ever, and I usually just let it sit in Paypal until I have $150 then there is no $1 fee to transfer it to my bank account...

That's a good way to spend what you have. But is the effort all worth it? I believe there are many people who do those stuff already at a much cheaper price :)

I agree. The fluctuation of gas prices is really crazy! Whew. How many days does a gallon give you?
