You are pre occupied in making extra money, compromising other things just to have it.
You even forget that there is more things to do than making extra money.
The more we have extra the faster it flows down from our pocket.
How do you balance your time in making extra and doing important things in life.

The key is to make extra money in your spare time; rather than sparing time to make extra money. It should be approached as an addition to your life and not a priority.

I need money for renovation of my old house. It needs a lot of renovation: the foundation, floor, windows and doors, installations, almost everything. Renovations are very expensive and I cannot cover them with my regular income. The house is over 100 years old, but it is solid and it will probably stand another 100 years. This was my grandparents' house and I spent some quality times there. So I want to renovate it and move in when it is finished.

I think it is great that you want to renovate the place. I wish you the best of luck. I bet you have so many great memories that you will be able to share with the furture generations of your family. The house I live in is 26 years old and I am hoping to make enough to fix it up. My husband and I found a nonprofit group to help us winterize our home so our power bills will go down in the winter. As soon as I can make enough money I am hoping that we can get the back deck fixed (it may have to wait until Spring). I also cannot wait to paint the bathrooms and the kitchen.

I am trying to make money just to survive. My husband works parttime (his hours keep on getting cut) and we need the money for the bare necessities. We have alreadu switched phone companies (we have Magic Jack) and we have no cell phone. We are temporarily without the satelitte. The only bills I have left are the power bill, the city bill, and a mortgage. I do not make this my whole life. I come on here for a couple of hours while my husband is at work and when he comes home I get off. I believe in family. I also have been working on my crafts and need to make a little extra money so I can get the necessary supplies in order to finish them. I plan on having my store online the second week in August. I do not feel that I am preoccuppied with money, but I do want to live.

Some people earn online for extra money. Others like myself do it as a job. I started over 10 years ago so I could stay at home with my children. So actually I combined making money and doing the important things in life

Making extra money is not bad, its just how you balance things. If in making extra money, you can do more important things in your life, that's a lot better. I am doing this extra work for extra money during my spare time so that I can retire early from my job and have a lot of time for my family.

Some of us need to make extra money because we need it in order to survive. My husband has an employer who cheats him out of pay by crossing off hours after my husband has already worked them. Unfortunately, where we live we only have sixty days to file with the Labor Board and I am afraid if my husband does that he will end up losing his job.
If the economy was not so bad I would not be looking for ways to make extra money. I am looking into grad school. At first I did not want to go to grad school, but I am so depressed that if I keep on staying at home doing nothing I am afraid I might get worse.

Hello Adeena2000,
There are a lot of reason why I want an extra money or income. First, I am saving a penny for my brother. Since he is now a family man and does not have that much income so I decided to help him secretly. Wherein, I am obliging myself to save a penny for him. Second, for my upcoming business. I need to start it as soon as possible. I will be needing an amount suitable for the initial capital. Third, for my mother and sisters, since, I am the eldest from the siblings, I want to give them the best that I can give. And lastly, I need to save a little for myself when I grow old.
While making an extra income, I make sure that I am also spending a quality time to my loved ones. Doing and spending a quality time to them is somehow doing the important things in my life.
In doing those, I am trying to divide my time equally. And explain to them sometimes, if I thought I was not able to spend the day with quality.
Nice topic. Happy mylotting.

Well I guess every people are preoccupied in making extra money because now a days cost of livings are very much expensive and you just have to be smart and practical in searching other ways to increase the source of your income in order to support your needs; but you can make extra income without the need to compromise other things that are important to you. It is just a matter of time management.

I just want to earn money while doing nothing. Before I'd been wasting my time in senseless things like going out, watching movies at the cinema, going to the mall, shopping, eating whatever I like. I am just a student and yet I waste my parents' money, that's why I thought of earning money. I don't how, but my friends told me that I can earn money online. It takes a lot of patience in earning money online because what we're earning is not that big.
I can concentrate on both because I can manage my time well in earning money and studying. So it is not a big deal for me.
