What does this represent to us? We are definitely not going to hit the malls or even the movies.
Is there a sense of accomplishment, I'm not really sure. Many mylotters double or triple that amount every month. Myself, never made it. The only time I got a payout was during the "payouts at $1" month.
I was just thinking, okay feeling bad, that I won't make payout this month. Then, I thought why am I placing so much value on $5?
Unresolved self esteem issues, has crossed my mind!!

I just hoard it together with my earnings from my voiceover jobs from Voices. I just watch my Paypal account grow and I will touch the money in case of emergencies.

No, five dollars isn't much, and I often don't make it to that in a month, but it's nice to get a little extra.

Same here. I'm putting in more effort since reaching $4, but not counting on making payout this month.

It's just fun here! Don't stress on the $5, you'll cash out when you're ready!

I think it's because it takes so long that we put so much into it. It's silly really. I am going to try not to fall into that too much when I return here for good. I know it's fun to myLot but I don't want to be a penny pincher for it really. I just want to enjoy.

In the world of online freelance writing, $5 is pretty good these days! At least we know we're going to get it if we put in the time.

You are sooo right about that. Thanks for making me check myself.
