I'm getting so frustrated. Maybe it's because it's the holidays. It seems that there is just never enough money for anything. The bills come in, but there isn't enough money to cover them all. I've tried to make just a little bit of extra money online for several months now, and granted I've been paid a little by a few things, it just isn't turning out the way that I expected it would.
I worked for months on getting my blog up and going so I could blog for pay. Now it seems as though the assignments are becoming few and far between. I've only had a couple of views on my blog in the last few days. Sometimes I just wonder if I'm just wasting my time.
Maybe I'm not doing something right. Maybe it's because more people are trying to make money online. What's your opinion?

jothis: how do you use bookmark sites and what are they and who are they? I have heard mention of the term, but never the who.what.where.when or why of them!

I don;t think you're wasting time.When you have less money this year and you keep trying to earn extra money online don't spend it this year.ext year you can spend some more.
We also had a christmas when we didn't had much too spend and more than once,but because i have a job and others in my family too we'll bring in some money to spend for christmas.So sometimes we just need to wait for another you to have a christmas we'll never forget.

I understand how you feel. I took my whole last check to get my kids layaway out and I am still not through. I know how you feel about trying to make money. I am a webdesigner and I submit to guru.com and others and nothing. And people in this tumbleweed town wont give you a job for nothing so Im in the same boat. All I can say is dont give up, i havent. Keep trying.

With the new year starting, why not figure what you will do online, and have it all set up to start Jan 1 and just do it and be dillegent to it all year and see how things add up this time next year.

All i want to say is dont let the Christmas feeling get too much into you.What i mean is, celebrate and have the greatest time, but dont buy everyone gifts just because it is accustomed to exchange gifts every Christmas. You can make your relatives or kids or whoever understand that it isnt the best of periods for you,and that this year you cant have gifts for everyone. Try to pay the debts, the bills, what is urgent and forget Christmas expenses.The next year there will still be Christmas, every year there is.So just be ok with the payments you gotta do and hope next year it will be better one.Its not the things we buy or the things we give presents that define whom we are and if we are having a good time.Its the feeling we got when we gather with the family at Christmas and enjoy each other's company.Gifts have nothing to do with that.Merry Christmas everyone!

well i don't know much about online money making as i m not good in network
but i know one thing that the online money making is slow process initially but later it pays you well but however the amount it pays is not enough to survive
so try to find other part time job like tuitions or guest faculty in academics center

I have quite a few different things that I do on the internet - but none of them, or all combined for that matter - aren't enough to pay a bill. It's what I call my "fun money". When I want to go out with my friend for the day, I dip into the "fun money" fund. I mean it's less than $200 a year. I have a full-time job that pays most of the bills, and a part-time home business that helps out tremendously. There are lots of things out there, you just need to find the one that's right for you. Don't quit looking!!!!

hmmmmmmmmm
my opinion is that maybe you shuld make some nice things and try to make a nice dinner for your family
if youare really broke, invite people and tell them that and ask them to bring things for dinner, or go to their house
when my grandma was a kid , she said she would get only one orange for Xmas and was very happy to have it
my Dad only got ONE gift as a kid for Xmas
So, just relax and don't stress and try to make it a good time. If you are totally broke, sometimes charities will donate toys. Sometimes thrift stores have good deals on toys and games. Like for $3 and stuff
