Good morning, dear friends.
As I opened mylot this morning, I discovered that I was over $8.50. Considering that there are 11 more days to go, I know that I will reach this month´s goal and maybe I will also earn a little more to make up for last month.
Ten dollars is not a lot of money. In fact, I cannot buy much in my country with that. But I save it all in pay pal and take it out once a year when and if I go to a vacation. $120 means something then. And if I earn a little more, it can be $140 or even more.
I do the same with the money I have to live every month. I have a pension and some money that I use in a small part every month. I do my best to use it only up to a certain amount. I don´t want to have big money problems when I get older.
Do you live with a budget and save as much as you can? What is your small luxury?

I used to be a person that saved everything all the time but I realized I was missing out on enjoyable things because I wouldn't do anything with the money I saved...at all. I have let go now and do things with my family with whatever money I make since making memories with them is super important. My children will only be young once.

In my case, money has not made a great difference as memories go. I am very close to my daughters.

@marguicha Well of course it doesn't always take money but sometimes it does and I wasn't letting go enough to enjoy doing things, like going to museums and such. =)

I am constantly saving in an account, that is used for immediate needs. Twice, I replaced a computer, another time, a printer that stopped working. This last time, I had to pay an unexpected medical bill. It's basically used like an emergency fund, nothing else.

I have a credit card but I pay it in full each month. I feel I will use it in times of real need.

@marguicha That is a very wise idea, to have it available for emergency purposes.

How much money do you need to live for a month?
$140 is more than enough for a single person to live one month,

I get together $120 or $140 online in a year, not in a month. In my country, I need at least $1000 a month to live. Life is expensive here.

@Lignitecityabishek96 That´s wonderful! Some countries have a different relation with the dollar.

Am on retirement and get a small pension so am on a pretty strict budget. My small luxury is getting a little something each month. Ice cream or chocolate usually.

I´m on retirement and also have a small pension that my husband left. But I mostly live taking a little from an inheritance my mother left me.

@celticeagle It is a blessing. If I had not had that, I would have had to sell my house.

I like within a budget as in India there is no pension for the unemployed and it's not possible as our population is quite large.

Our retirement pension is taken from our wages along the years we work.

@marguicha Yes, I interact a lot here. The most of what I made online was made during Bubblews time. The site paid well until it lasted.
