I know tomorrow is January 1st, I have set my months goals what to save for online or work towards.
This month is a Corningware set it's about $35.00 at Walmart), also cooking utensils (I can't seem to find them on Walmart's website), but on another major chain store website they are $40.00 for the set (it comes with teh soup ladle, the smaller ladle, spaghetti scoop, potato masher, and I believe the whisk (I can't remember completely).
If I reach these goals before the end of the month, I will worth towards the 3 glass mixing bowls, knive block, and a few towel sets.

You have some good plans! I also plan to save some of my online money for things I need. One would be to pay my income taxes in April. Another is to buy socks and shoes. I want some SAS shoes. They are over $100. But they last for 5 years easy. I want some new cookware too. I also would mike to get back online with weight watchers. I have more support than not having the site.

If they last then go for it. Set yourself monthly goals, and it may seem far away but it adds up fast. I find I am more motivated when I have a goal or working towards something. I started going through my socks and underwear yesterday I need new ones as well.

It's always good to set goals. Well good luck and I hope you reach your goal for this up coming month. It sounds like a lot of work but I know you are a hard working and will make it some how.

Well my goal for this Month is to pay for myself my daughter's birthday party so our families don't have to pay for it. I already have enough to get her birthday gift with gift cards that I have and I'm saving up for the end of the month for her birthday party which right now I think I go $20 down. Chuck e Cheese here we come.

I'm not really setting a goal, but I'd like a new washer sometime this year. It's not just getting the washer, but the plumbing needs to be looked at, too, so it will drain properly without flooding the kitchen. As it is now, I can't let my current washer drain completely in one go. I have to stop it halfway and wait until the sink drains before emptying the rest.

I'm on sewers, but I know what the problem is: there's not enough of a slope on the drainpipe. The backend of the house has sunk about a foot. That's why I had the foundation work done this summer, but didn't do anything about the plumbing yet.

I was spending the endless travel hours thinking of what I want to save up for next. I had a fund set aside for a new vacuum, but my family and inlaws went in together and got us the Roomba for Christmas. We got it early and it seems to get all the pet hair up nicely.
Spent a day at a spa as an early birthday present to me from my inlaws and loved it. I think that my goal is to get to the spa quarterly. A morning or an afternoon to myself without having to think about anything seems to be the ticket right about now.

Normally, I have nothing that I want and since I am trying to declutter my life I wanted something I needed and would use or an experience (my husband suggested skydiving). My mother in law goes once a month to the spa for a massage and pedicure. She found a full service one that could accomadate 4 massages at once so all of us could go. It had a steam room, a dry sauna, a jacuzzi and a lap swim pool for us to use before and after our massages. We walked around in spa robes and ate tons of fresh fruit. It was a remarkable experience. Unfortunately, the best I can hope for in my area is a massage, not the whole spa experience.

I wish you the best with your goals, I hope you make it far beyond them! I just always hope to make payout here, I am happy with that. Lol, maybe I should push myself harder but I don't want it to seem like work being here, I like having fun here...Maybe I should push myself a little bit though...

Most ask how I do it, and I really don;t know. I just get the energy and tell myself I am going to give this much in a day to MyLot or say whatever site. So today since I was off in the afternoon, and worked in the am. I gave the afternoon on and off to MyLot and I should make between $1 and $1.50 today.
I try to get through my emails as well mainly, then work on other non friend discussions but sometimes I switch back and forth.
Such as today I spent an hour or so on here the baked a little, then played with Mac & Gizmoe for a few hours, then came back for a few hours, then had dinner, cleaned, and played with Patches, now back for most of the night.

I love the way you think there.. Also buy buying things from your online earning kinda feels like you have earned double in a way. Great ideas. I think I might try that here as well. Happy new years dear. See you here next year, for sure....

I really like the fact that you set goals for yourself each and every month so that you have something that you are able to work toward. For me, I do something similar each and every month in that I set a goal of the amount of money that I would like to make and then I will use the money that I'm able to pay incidental bills that we happen to have or so that I can do a little bit of something special with my family every month.
Setting goals is definitely a good thing because it does help us to make sure that we are able to actually do something when we are working online instead of going on blind and just hoping that we will have something to show for it.

Now that's the way to get what you need! 
I got my Corningware set as a housewarming present and I love it. They're great to cook in, and if we have enough leftovers I can just put the lid on and throw the whole thing in the fridge.
I love the way you set little goals and put everything you get toward them. I want to try something similar next year but all of the things I would work toward are kind of pricey. I guess I could break the amount I need into smaller portions and work toward it that way.

After I get the bulk of items, it's more small items that add up. I will then work towards my steam mop, vacuum, and washer / dryer combo, lawnmower, and shed.
I have always had corningware dishes while growing up. We usually cook in them, but they do come in handy. I wrote out a list of items, I know I will need, and work towards them. My Amzon gift cards I am saving for a clothes drying rack (as normally I don't use the dryer), and 3 wooden cutting boards (as it's cheapier online than in store).
I try to sit down each month and make a list of items I will need. I try to post here to get idea's because sometimes you don't think of things.

I really admire you being so hardworking ever since I met you here in myLot. Yes setting a goal is one thing that every body must do. This way it would be easy for us to focus on what we should accomplish for the month. No doubt, you can have it.
Happy New Year!
