Well, since i actually just do mylot to talk to new people and check out different viewpoints around the world, i don't make that much in earnings. However, i still enjoy the site. But what i do make, well, all i have to do is repeat what my wife said..."Ebay! Here i come!"

I am saving it up to buy a new lens for my camera.
Which, is not cheap! But I think if I work hard enough here, it will not take too too long. LOL I know I could probably go to ebay and get it cheaper than Best Buy.
So, I am just saving it. Hoping to get there in time for this summer.
If not, then I will keep working until I do. And maybe I will look into being self employed being a photographer for weddings and events.

I've always been interested in photography. I think it's so interesting, and if you love it, what better way to make a living? And there might actually be cheaper sites out there to buy your lense than best buy and ebay. sometimes i find really good deals on kind of obscure websites.

That is a great thing to save your money for!
I think that it is great that you have a goal and you have a time that you might want to get it done in!
Great Job! :D You go Brokentia the photographer!! :DD

I haven't gotten a payout yet, but I plan on using any money I make on this site for online purchases of non-essentials (like make-up, bath products, etc) that don't fit into my budget.

We're firm believers that although bills need to be paid, rent/house payment, whatever, you still need to be able to get something for yourself. That way you have something to show for all of the hard work that you're doing. Good luck with all your nonessentials, cause in a way, i believe that they are.

Hmm a lot of bath etailers (including Lush) take paypal as payment... you can also find some cool stuff on ebay. Etsy.com too.
On a side note - I have had my bank hooked to paypal for maybe 7 years and never had a problem.

LOL oh no, bath products! My wife loves any kind of pampering bath products, it's her one part of the day where she gets to enjoy something in relative peace and quiet! The only downside i've found to it so far, so because we don't want our bank account hooked to paypal, it sits in there, and then anything you buy using paypal automatically deducts from it.

Well, this is my job.
Until I can get a JOB in the summer.
But, this is a real job...but it is very hard to earn money. And, you never earn the same amount each day for all the hours you are on it! :))
I am saving this extra money for my car, or something that I might want with my extra money. But, it would be good if I don't send any of it and just save it! :DD

Well just know that persistance will pay-off. I have been here on mylot for about two months and I am just getting my first pay-out this month. yes it is only going to be ten dollars but I already have another five that will carry over. I am thinking of increasing my payout amount. That way I will actually have a little to play aroungd with on e-bay!

I have not been paid yet but we are buying a new puppy and I had hoped to get paid by MyLot before paying for the puppy because the breeder accepts PayPal to pay for the puppy. But... I won't get the MyLot earnings in time because I missed the cutoff for the feb payout and the puppy money is due tomorrow so I guess I'll just use the $$$ to but things on Ebay.

Oh yeah sorry I just meant $10 to go towards the total puppy fee. The puppy is a goldendoodle and actually quite expensive so MyLot earnings won't cover it! Haha.
What kindof puppy do you want???
