Hello,I'm wondering how mylotters use their money from here. I mean, when you get your payout... what do you plan to spend? For me, I will love to save it but I say like this for like a 1000 times and it never work out for me well. I always use it for my movies or my kids meal:).... I have not much but at least something I love to spend on. What about you? do you save it up or do you use it for something else? please share....

Well considering I don't make hardly anything here and what I do make goes straight to my paypal and I have never done nothing with my paypal I don't do nothing with it. Hopfully one day ten years from now there will be enough in ther to actually do something with. Until then it will just sit in my account.

I tried replying to this discussion a couple of hours ago, but after I submitted my post, mylot logged me off. So here goes again! I usually use my mylot money to meet whatever need I have at the current moment. Right now the next time I cash out, the money will go to my next visit to the dentist. I have no dental insurance, and haven't been for a couple of years. So I need to go have my teeth professionally cleaned. I have some money from Christmas that some of my relatives sent me, so that and the mylot money should bring me closer to my goal.

I meant, dentist costs a lot and does it cover all for you? or do you have to add some money in? lolz.

Hello, this is shocking me... for dentist? are you sure? well, I do understand we need for something that is necessary right? I dont have Dental insurance as well... but when I go to see dentist then I go to see my friend, who is a dentist and he will help me out... if a big job then I have to take payment. I hate dentist... but sometimes I have to go :)

Usually any money I get from all of my sites I put in the bank the first of the month when my checks arrive. I'm not a very good spender which is good. Most of us who live in this apartment complex live on Disability and for the most part I'm the only one who has money at the end of the month. If the site doesn't offer cash back I then get gift certificates to Target. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I used my money for new eye glasses for myself. I am short sighted and I needed new prescription glasses for reading and sunglasses. I have been saving my payouts for a few months and finally had enough this month to purchase my much needed glasses. I feel very proud of the fact that I paid for them myself with money I earned doing something I love.

I save most of my earnings here in mylot. But I also leave some in my Paypal account so that I could buy stuff that I want online, which are mostly games. I have accounts at Big Fish Games and Sandlot Games, my two favorite game vendors.

After having my first payout on here, I haven't used the money yet, I think I will just let it keep adding up and I guess whenever I need it, I will go ahead and spend it. I think I'm just maybe wanting to save the money up that I earn online if anything arises we need money or if not and Christmas time comes around, I'll be spending it on Christmas gifts.

When you don't have much in the way of money, it is easy to save money especially if you don't have that much. I've only recieved one payout, seeing as I've only been here just under two months, and we recieve payouts once a month. So saving it is easy because its not that much u over the minium. And, its a waiting game to see it appear in my checking account if I chose to withdraw it.

Hello, you are right... a little amount is very important and you can save if you can... sometimes I feel so bad when I can't save this small amount but I just want to enjoy what I made

I always split my online earnings at the end of the month. Half I use for investment. The other half I withdraw and I usually use is it to buy something I like, i.e. books. It workds nice for me and this month I have more than previous months due to slicethepie. I hope that I willreach payout here also in February

Hi friend, i'm absolutely new in mylot. I haven't yet received money from mylot. I have started very few discussions but i have already responded to many discussions very carefully and i've written them with a good responsibility. Whenever ,i'll get money from mylot first of all i'll buy a very nice gift for my mummy and then for my younger brother. Then i'll use some money to have a nice party with my close friends. The rest of the money i'll save for my higher studies. The earning rate in mylot is very slow, but i hope very soon i'm going to earn a handsome amount of money . I won't be happy if i willnot give treat to my fiends with the money that i'll be earning from mylot. But my family is my first choice to whom i'll present something from my earning. Because, i could achieve my cherished goal because of great inspiration and support from my dear mummy. She stood with me against all odds and helped me to go ahead in my life.

Hello, How thoughtful of this... you are a good kid. Great choice, hope you will get payout soon and then you can have all the gift for your family

My goal is to pay off debts. That means being careful of every dime that is spent, and making sure it actually needs to be spent. I also am working on making more money to put toward the debts. It will be so awesome to be free from a mortgage and loans.
• United States
19 Jan 10
hello, mortgage and loans is a big money though... but at least it help some though. I sometimes use it toward my food or gas or some other stuff that could cause only the amount in mylot money :)

Well, I would always think of accumulating my money what I earn online so that I can make it big and plan for soemthing really good. Not only mylot, I have beene arning from other programs as well. And I have withdrawn money from paypal twice but both the times, I used it to pay my credit card bill.. this time, I am thinking to accumulate the money so that i can finally go for soemthing really good or buy something online. About mylot, I have almost reached my payout. i am standing at 9.8$ today. I will be able to get my payout next month.
• United States
19 Jan 10
good one. if i have more then I will pay off my bill for sure too.. but just a few hundred .. won't help me. I think my real job will pay it off and this one is my fun money

Well I want to start putting my money from mylot (and other online earnings) into my savings account and letting it add up, but I have not been able to do this so far. I am using my online earnings to help make the ends meet, and I will probably have to continue to do this for the next couple of months, but I will start putting it in the bank once I get a couple of things paid off.

I always think to save this money for some other time but it never happen to me... so i just keep in my paypal and when it start to add up then spend all ... hahaha... can't even save :(

I failed to reach my payout last month lol, but I'm sure I will next month :p. I will save my mylot and other online earnings and let them add up month by month. I am also planning to open a seperate bank account and use it for online earnings only. But I will have to wait until I get steady online income for that.

HI, you know for the past two years ago... I used to work on this customer services site and I made pretty good money there. I made at least $20 a day by just chatting to people... but too bad the site is getting slow... but the site is still on but they just let the real people get more work then online one. and I still have the bank account with them... so whenever I have money in my paypal then I will transfer those to that bank account and use it. I dont have to worry about too much money in my personal one :)
18 Jan 10
