What do you do when you get your pay?

Dear meapas, I like the system that your family practice. This is a very good start..we need to contribute for the household expenses. If everyone contribute, then the burden is lessen. At least we can lessen our parents' burden, they have struggle to provide for our education and our expenses, now is the time we should help out and do our best.. Since I am not working, no financial contribution from me, BUT I contribute by doing the houseworks, cooking, folding the clothes and go marketing in the supermarket. My husband contributed some money for buying monthly groceries and food stuff. Wonderful topic to encourage everyone to contribute as much as they could for the well being of a happy family!

I don't have a proper job yet, that is to say I only mylot for now. My fiance does a job though, and the money we are going to be getting is going to go towards ourselves and our wedding, and also for a car and christmas. The money I make on here is going towards gas, a car, and christmas. I am also going to be going back to school, learning medical trasncription and medical secretary stuff so that I can get a higher paying job. We live with his parents now, so also money will be going towards affording our own place, and for our future. We do want to pay rent but realize that my fiance's parents would probably not accept it, though my fiance and I used to mow for my mom and grandparents so that job is now going to his father as my fiance is at work busy, and I am here at home busy mylotting and keeping the house clean, as well as learning. Sorry for such a long response, lol!

I usually save it and the only time I spend it is to buy necessities like food, pay bills, for gas, things like that. I wish I could go on shopping sprees with the money I make, lol. But I have a family to care for and that comes first. I make over $100 a month so it really helps me out a lot.

My husband and I share the money we earn. My husband pays our rent and most of the bills. I pay for groceries and for the other things that we need to buy. If we have a lot of bills I transfer some money from my account to my husband's account. He usually pays the bills, but if he doesn't have enough money I help him of course. when I have paid for the groceries there is still some money left. Some of that money we spend as kind of "pocket money" and the rest of the money I tranfer to our savings account.

since I live alone in my studio apartment and I have no kids or dependents all the money goes into my bank account, I pay all the expenses needed and well I get to shop shop shop and I also get to do some travelling with the extra change I get. I am fortunate that I always pay my bills on time and I have no debts as I am always on time with my payments. Plus I save a lot too so when it comes to money management, I certainly know how to coordinate and organize my money.

When my husbands paycheck get's deposited into our account the first thing I do is take 10% of the earnings and give it to charity. We then pay any bills we have. With what is left we split in half. Half goes into savings and the rest we have to use until the next paycheck. It works really well and we always have emergency money.

Hi there! I am head of my immediate family, at present, therefore, I organise all the earnings, which I and my partner earn. When my parents used to stay with us, we would give a portion of salary to our parents and it were they who would run the show, as far as house-hold matters are concerned. Now, I run the show, therefore, I manage the funds.

At first, I bought things on eBay with the money I made here on MyLot. Nothing expensive though. Just things like movies. Now I've decided that, indefintely, I'm going to start just saving the money I make on here.

I guess you are a full time web earner,because you can give your family money to run monthly budget.According to your action,I'm sure you are a responsible person to your family.The member of your family must be proud of you I think everyone has 3 ways to deal with the money 1.Reserve 2.consume 3.invest

The first thing I could do is that to buy some clothes of my mother, give her some money and treats her in a restaurant because my mother will always be my mother that give birth to me and don't repay all her suffering when i was kid. Now, even in a small things i give pay back all her sacrifices in life...have a great day!

well, in my case most of my earning 50% will straight goto my parent for monthly family expenses and 15% for credit card payment. Another 10% for saving, the rest for own monthly expenses.

Hi!meapas! I think you have a good way to deal with you money! It is a very good way! I have learned a lot! Because i still a student,so I have to pay my study fees! i will try earn a lot ! Thank you!

I have a full time job, so every month I will get my salary, I will give it to my wife, let her to manage. But my money is really not enough, not means enough for food. I am just afraid I will lost my job one day. I should keep some money to pass that time. If I earn some money from part time job, I will buy some gift to my family. if still have some left, I will give it to my wife. :) Happy mylot!

I get a paen and a paper... then I lost down everything I would be needign for the month ..i set aside that amount. then I set aside an extra amount for unexpcted expenses... then the rest, I put int he bank and forget about it.

I put it all in the bank.

I pay my bills and then either get a few things that I want or that my boyfriend does.

I save them for college and a new bike

Honestly i am too far in my payout here in mylot but i am excited to reach my $ 10 cashout. i have plans when i reach that payout. i may buy something for my son, for my Hubby and of course for myself. i also have plan to go to Malls for some shopping and play on a rides with my son, for short a little bit bonding. hehehe

i am single so i dont really have to give my money to anyone else. i have a full time job that when i get that money every two weeks i put it into my checking account. any money that i make from working online i put into my savings account and dont touch it. it is in case of emergencies or fors omething i am saving up for. i try to save a lot of money. just so that inc ase i need it i have it.

Well, the main thing that my husband and I do is pay the bills that we have and then try to make time for ourselves to do something for us. We do not alawys do the things we want to do, but we do our best to try. We have learned to budget and stick to it. Sometimes the month is not good, but we manage.
