My Mylot money is buying a new digital camera. What are you saving for?

I think a specific goal is a great motivator. For instance, I was off MYlot for a week entertaining guests, and now I need to make up the posts I missed in order to stay on track. I just keep thinking about that camera!

Saving is good :-) Like I say, this originally started off as a complete lark just to see if I could make a minimum payout, but it has worked out to be fairly painless and I like the idea I will be able to, if I can discipline myself, get myself a little treat for doing something that is fun, anyhow.

Yep, sounds like thats going to happen MOM. I wonder if there might be an fix for it? Have you tried calling camera shops to at least inquire? You never know it just might be an easy fix.

The good old ebay account. I was looking at the sites that accept Paypal and saw a cuple of camera shops, as well as Walgreens which carries quite a few cameras that seem quite reasonably priced. I don't doubt my little darlings will spend it for me too, if I let them! The sad thing is, I promised my youngest the camera I am currently using, which he 'borrows' and loves. When I was out last week (been entertaining house guests and showing them the sights- photos to be uploaded in 'Places I have Lived', 'Ireland' in the days to come)my bloody camera screen keeled over. I don't know WHAT happened, but while it still takes photos, the view screen is now white. I feel crummy because my little fella loved that view screen because he was able to guage what he was doing. I might have to save up for one for me and another for him, as well.

It might be worth a try, bu I betcha it is one of those deals where it'll cost more to fix than replace. A real shame because it was a great cam, and the one I had BEFORE that is still ticking along just fine, but it doesn't have a built in view screen. I tell you, the little devils know how to work me!

That is a great goal and very unusual! I am hoping morre people will answer because I amreally curious to see what folks are planning on doing with their 'mad money'.

Nopers, I don't have it all yet, but I am getting there. A wedding dress, huh? That is also very interesting. I haven't really looked into getting money transferred into my bank account. If I carry on here long enough that would be an option, but for the time being I will day dream about cameras and paypal online shopping.

Oh heck, no, I haven't earned it all yet! I am bent n earning it between now and July 1st. I will try my best between now and then, and when I am in the states I will buy one ther from amazon or something similar as it will be cheaper then buying here. I have been here only month and haven't decided even which camera I will get. I am sure, based on my first month's earnings, however, that I will be able to afford something.

I should only be s sensible! I use all my 'real' money for bills and necessities, so I guess this money is purely for 'fun'. Good luck with your goal!

Thanks for saying all that! yeah kind of but they don't trust me much.Really don't know why.

Thank you, and you are right, they are great kids, so not that much not to love. I am no web afficianado so I can't help you out with domain names but I think it is REALLY cool that you are taking responsibilty for your own bills and not just automatically assuming your parents have to pay. That speaks very well of you and I bet they think you are pretty great, too.

That also seems popular and is something I think might be worth looking into. Do you have any tips on the subject?

Thank you and good luck with the car shopping!

I actually thought this was going to be a more popular use of the mylot earnings. Interesting!

Talk about ambitious! What do those tickets go for? Well, it sounds like a brilliant idea and I hope you pull it off. Good luck to you!

Looks like you and I are saving for a Vacation is October

You betcha! Good luck in your endeavor! It has been already a very interesting and wide range of responses!

That is a nice idea, but there is no way I am handing over all the money I made last month to him. Mine gets enough goodies and I look at this as purely fun money for me beyond the Runescape membership.

With the number next to your name I see you are an old hand at this. Glad to see that after time it stays interesting. I was wondering if it is the sort of place people only hang around a month or so and then drift away?

Sounds like a good plan, too. It isn't a bad thing to let it pile up and then have it ready when you want it.

Well get typing and good luck! I was just at your discussion page, and from the way you are raking it in I am sure you will make your goal!

Keep it up, easy. I don't have any luck with referrals so it is ging to have to be through my own graft. Have you taken advantage of uploading photos? It is a steady, easy earner. It seems like daily expenses and new computers are on peoples wish lists, as well as my camera, a wedding dress, and pian lessons. What else, folks?

One of the earlier rreplies says there are laptops to be had for about $200. Maybe he will come back and say where or you culd PM him. I think it was on the first page?

Wow, what an admirable goal. With such an immense debt, I am wondering if there might not be a better route than Mylot? It just seems like it would take a heck of a lot of posts to put a dent into that bill.
