Where do I get extra money?

p3halliwel2005 @p3halliwel2005 (3156) • Philippines 12 Dec 10

I am the bread winner of my family and I provide for everything my family needs and is the one who pays all the bills. Even if I have 3 different works my salary still can't help make ends meet. I have 5 kids and have 4 of them in...

Shawna718 For a REAL online job without scams or paid to click, check out HomeJobStop.com It is a job bulletin board and NO ads. I think you actually apply for jobs, and try to get hired and pay witholding taxes. For disabled people, I think JLodge.com has home jobs...

Does being poor mean a better life?

TLChimes @TLChimes (4822) • United States 1 Jan 10

I have watched as American rich folks who thought they had it all, fight to survive on lower or no income, losing their homes, and fighting just to stay on an even path. They thought that going to work each day at a high paying...

Shawna718 I have been middle class, homeless, "rich" by my standards and just making it. My life has gone up and down like the tides of the ocean. Because I am careful with my money, I no longer suffer when money gets tight. I have discovered that if I buy my clothes at...

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 22 Sep 09

Screw you. Yeah, you heard me screw you. This is a rant in itself. I've come across numerous discussions from fellow MyLotters that this isn't a place to have a raging rant, to post things that are aggravating us in our private...

Shawna718 I completely agree-- YES!! People who don't want to trouble their pleasant little worlds should just not read the rant! It is the same as "If you don't like what is on t.v., change the channel!" DUH! Go ahead and get it off your chest, whatever is bothering...

pangbo217 @pangbo217 (42) • China 29 Jul 09

I was born in a small town. The most serious problems in my hometown are the backward ideas about a woman's place in the family, school, workplace, and society. These negative stereotypes hurt not only women, but all of society as...

Shawna718 That would be a wonderful thing to change! My complaint seems silly compared to your statement! Anyway, here goes. In my hometown, there is a problem with cats and people's attitudes about how they should be treated. Cats are frequently abandoned and...

TheCatLady @TheCatLady (4691) • Israel 23 Jul 09
