In the Economy How Do You Use Your Online Earnings?

kittenclaus @kittenclaus (1393) • United States 31 Oct 09

I'm a member of several sites and used to use that extra money to simply buy things I saw and wanted. I'd let my paypal just build up until I spent some on some little or big purchase. That way I didn't have to spend my pay check...

sallysue Hi: We're lucky we don't hear any creaks at night. I guess after 200 years our house is totally settled. Living in the country we do get mice that's really the only thing we hear at night. Sure keeps the cat busy and he sure is a good mouser.

sallysue Yes, I agree things are very expensive. I especially notice it where we live on an island where a lot of tourists hang out. Things seem way more expensive. The people who live on this island go across to the mainland to do most of their shopping.

sallysue Hi: Jobs are few. I had a great job as a health care professional until the company I worked for went bankrupt. I haven't been able to find anything. It's harder when your over forty.

What do you mostly spend money on?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 27 Oct 09

I'm now creating my personal budget and trying to trace where most of my income or money goes. Unsurprisingly, it's in food. I don't really eat all the time nor do I tend to just eat up anything or go to restaurants. In fact, I...

Do You Trust your Sites Enough To Refer Your Friends?

kittenclaus @kittenclaus (1393) • United States 27 Oct 09

Do you have any sites that you have referred your personal friends? We all know how sites come and go but we continue that never ending search for referrals. We do exchanges, we post on forums, advertise but do you ask your...

sallysue Hi: Ya, I guess I do. I know sometimes if I find a job working for home and than read the small print it says apply anywhere from the U.S. I pass it onto my friend who lives there.

Do you think online degree is as good as traditional degree?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 21 Oct 09

With the advance of technology, it is possible for us to study online for a degree course. However, many people still feel that online degree is not as good as traditional degree, even when the online degree comes from the same...

sallysue I think that depends on the school and the course. I don't think I'd like the idea of a doctor studying that way. Can you imagine a surgeon doing an operation and saying "I've never seen that before".

What Is Your Favorite Way To Earn Money from Online

kittenclaus @kittenclaus (1393) • United States 21 Oct 09

I would have to say My favorite is the ptc sites. I know many of you won't agree with this but after much trial and error I got it down to the legit sites that always pay me. I don't have to spend much time doing this and the...

sallysue Hi: I don't live in the USA, I'm in Canada and a lot of these things are closed to us. I would dearly love to find something that would really pay me, that wasn't a scam, but as it stands right now no luck.

How Long Before You Invest In a New Site

kittenclaus @kittenclaus (1393) • United States 20 Oct 09

Just wondering how many Mylot users invest in a new site from the first. I never invest before I've been paid at least twice. I know that usually takes a few months but I'd rather wait and make sure they pay me before I pay them!...

9 responses

sallysue Hi: If a company wants money I don't even look any further. When I'm looking at a new site I usually scroll down before even reading anything about it, if I see money mentioned anywhere that I have to give them, that's it to them and say bye bye.

Which Survey Site Is Your Favorite

kittenclaus @kittenclaus (1393) • United States 20 Oct 09

There are so many survey sites out there and I'm a member of several. But my all time favorite is Pinecone. I always receive at least 3.00 per survey and all the surveys they send me I'm already qualified for, don't you hate...

sallysue I don't live in the U.S. and I find that I don't qualify for a lot of survey sites. I have heard of people making good money from survey sites, but I haven't yet. Yes, I know exactly what you mean about being kicked off after 5 minutes, yes it is irritating.

Are You In Mylot For the Money or the Info

kittenclaus @kittenclaus (1393) • United States 18 Oct 09
