What will you use you MyLot money for?

United States
March 10, 2008 4:36am CST
It is nice to have the extra cash but have you already created a plan to use it before you actually get it? Will it be spent to catch up on a bill or two? Are you going to save it for a special event in the future? Or is it just one of those things that you'll decide when the check hits your mailbox?

Thanks for thinking of me! What do you do for a living in England? I would love to hear about what life is like there! Can you tell me what children there are taught about the American Revolution? I used to bar hop with a guy from England and he would tell just the great tales! I am a real history buff! Do you have any historical places near where you live or visited them?

That response is just too funny! I had a vehicle break down and my mind had been in another galaxy! I will give you my school address and you can send it there. Did you want me to send you something from my local news too? May I just use your return address to send something back to you or did you want to send you address ahead of time?

No haste or need from my side. Although I am kind of curious to see what makes the news in MI these day. I'll send a return address with the parcel. But there is no need if you don't want to. Thanks for the PM. Newspapers will be on their way in a day of two.

well i am student so as for now i am saving it in my account of paypal,alertpay.I have about 63$ in account.i take this as pocket-money.
• United States

It sure would be fun to be a student again. If I were back in my university days $63 would be alot but could be blown very quickly at a bar! If I may make a suggestion, take whatever you make and put atleast 10% into a 401k. It may not seem like a lot but you have time on your side and the positive interest will make a huge difference when you get older. I read 'Automatic Millionaire' by David Bach and that is one of the techniques he talks about. :-)

I have never met someone from India! Did you say it is against the law to have a bar in your area? It is a religious thing or a political thing? Please tell me what your area is like! I am very interested in hearing what you do for a living and what living there would be like! I will do the same on this end. It is so great to share thoughts this way!

I am already paid once and I have spent, or say rather invested my first earnings in a wonderful refferal programme where I am making profit of atleat 1.02 dollars every 14 days, just for making 2 refferals. They give recurring commissions every 14 days, you have to pay $ 10 once, isn't it good?

Did you send me that link yet or did I miss it? I am always interested on more income. How do you find all these webcash sources? Word or mouth? Do you just surf a lot? There are lots of scams out there and we have to be really careful where we got especially if there is cash involved!
• United States
10 Mar 08
Sounds like a great deal to me. Would you mind sharing the program with me and I may have a program to share with you! There are so many websites out there that are nothing but scams. It is up to word of mouth to get the best out of the internet! I will probably use my mylot money to buy into the stock market and then hold the stocks until the recession is over!

Well, I am actually trying to save up the cash in my paypal account. As to how they are going to be used, I seriously have not thought about it yet. I haven't really started on online purchasing of things though there are really couple of things I have in mind....But with only $10 payout from mylot, I think I have to earn much more to get what I want.. I may want to get a new domain name and a web server host.....but no concrete plans as of yet.
• United States
10 Mar 08
I actually had my payout at $10 but then I thought: what am I going to do with just $10? So I moved it to $50 and will probably move it to $100 as I get closer to it. I am personally saving mine for a trip to Vegas next May. I figured I will have over a year to earn it here and just dump it into paypal. If all else fails this can be my black jack and slot cash. Life is fun! Live it up! What kind of domain are you looking for? I have mine hosted through Yahoo and have been pretty happy with it.

Well KingCrapper, you'd better get to typing if you're going to make Vegas by next May! It's taken me just over 13 months to earn $6.94 and you can see the number of posts I've made. Cheers, Ed
• United States
11 Mar 08
You've only made that much in 13 months? I have been doing this everyday for maybe a month and already made $8! I must make more posts than you or something? Do I make better quality posts?? Even if I don't make enough for Vegas it will still be a nice amount to play at the machines and blackjack!

I will probably just save it, put it twords things I may need or want. Like saving up for my new tattoo I want.
• United States
12 Mar 08
I almost got a tatoo! When I was in Fort Benning GA at infantry basic training a bunch of my friends and I went out to get tatoos. Sadly to say it was a long day and I actually fell asleep on the couch in the tatoo place. By the time I woke up it was time for us to leave. Have you ever thought of investing the money in something to make even more money?
• United States
13 Mar 08
That is a very smart move to use one source of income to finance another form of income! Have you ever read 'Automatic Millionaire' by David Bach? I checked out the audio cds from the library last summer and it was just full of valuable information! Do you own a business? Have you ever thought about selling you crafts online?
• United States
12 Mar 08
Ya I got my first tattoo back in November for my 18th Birthday. I accualy sometimes put my mylot money twords tings for me to make crafty wise and then I sell them to make more money.

I am actualy earning money online to sign up for embership on an online MMORPG. My parent's won't pay with their credit cards so I resorted to this. And its easy to pay them thru paypal!
• United States
11 Mar 08
which onine game do you play and how much does it cost? Since I work all day I don't get much chance to get online to actually do things I want to do so there isn't much time to play. Are you still in school? Are you interested in more paysites to add to your web income?
• United States
12 Mar 08
No problem with sending you some links for extra webcash! I have heard of Runescape. I see kids on the computers at the library playing that all the time! Isn't it great to be able to connect with some many people in so many countries?! Here is a link that I really like http://www.clixsense.com/?2080299 The other one I like is by referal only and I would need an email address to send it to. May I ask if I may send this information to your email box? I see you are going in to the medical field. May throw some information about some health products and see what you think? If you find is valuable, maybe we can talk about getting a business established in your area.

OK first of all it is against the mylot rules to post links here lol.. just saying About the offers, I don't even live in the US and I don't need to make any big money... my parents provide for me and I just turned 18... Plus we own the biggest cosmetics retailer in our country so I don't need any extra money. My parents just won't pay for the game membership because they don't want to waste their money. And frankly I think it IS a waste of money. That's why I'm earning online in my spare time to pay for it lol

I have spent and used my earnings here at the most, but save some whenever I still have extra. I'd just share some amount for the household bills, add my mylot earnings from the money that I earn from day job, save it and spend it on something which I plan to buy if ever I've reach my target amount. I have already bought something for me after receiving my earnings here, so I'm still saving it for the meantime and is still looking for other stuffs that I would consider buying in the future.

I don't have any emergency funds to set aside, I guess it's just all about how you discipline yourself in over-spending your savings.
• United States
13 Mar 08
I find it very important to have an emergency fund! Just this week my vehicle went down and even though I use it only once or twice a week, on those days it is critical that it works! If my emergency fund was there I would be able to rent of buy another vehicle. With gas prices theatening to jump up to $4/gal people will need an extra little something socked away.

If ever I get any money from myLot, I will use it on my kids.
• United States
18 Mar 08
I actually have kids of my own and I hear you about having to provide for them. What would you get your kids? Mine are a little older and little more independant so there is little besides gas money I really should do for them. I know some people spoil their kids rotten. Too me that is a solid form of child abuse and neglect!

i will use my mylot money to start investing in penny stocks. reaching payout is very difficult that is why one has to invest the money wisely to encourage further earnings. though, many people are of the opinion that they will use it to pay for their accumulated bills. it is also a wise decision to do so. thanks
• United States
18 Mar 08
A fellow investor! I like the way you think! The idea of making an income through here and then putting it somewhere to make even more! I perfer to put the money into something a little more solid like the S&P 500 which has a history. Even though some penny stocks have the potential to explode they also have the opporunity to disappear. What is your favorite penny stock? Where do you go to invest in them?
• Philippines

myLot is one of my money-making venture, although I do not concentrate much on earning here, it feels good that I can get something. I am currently saving for a laptop, so anything I can get, will really help me get to my goal.

To me every little bit helps. One of the things I do to give me the edge is to actually save change. One would be surpised how much change can be added up quickly and how much it can be worth. I have gotten in the habit of making purchases when I know I will get change back, put it in my jacket pocket and then add it to my plastic container. Even if I know I could make the correct change I go ahead and break another dollar. My credit union has a change machine that costs me nothing to use so it is like a 'forced savings' plan. What do you think of that idea? Do you have any to share?

I did get an email from you about your website. Love it! Very neat and organized, so unlike mine! I just recently made the 10 dollar level but moved it up to 50. My intial plan was to save it and then put it toward stock purchases, and then I thought I would use it for a trip to Vegas and now I am tempted to get the next couple books in the 'Left Behind' series. You have two full time jobs! Wow! You must be very busy! Do you need additional sources of income? Do you have a family to support or do you just having the cash?

I really want to save it for my trip in next May to Vegas but since I made it to a pay level I am thinking about hitting Ebay for some audio books that I can use for my business. It sure is cool to have that many options! Do you do alot of online shopping that you use Paypal alot? You have a much higher score than I do at mylot. How did you get there? How long have you been here? Any advise for a newer person?

Hi kingcrapper.. I joined in mylot five days ago without thinking of what shall I do with the money i might make in here. I am excited to see the progress of my earnings though I am a lil bit hesitant now to post new discussions since I just got few responses. What makes me active is sharing thoughts, ideas, experiences and opinions on other people's discussion. I forgot to mention making friends as well keep me visited this site everyday. While reading your post, it made me think of what to do with the money. It might take me sometime to reach the minimum pay out. I was thinking to send it for my lil bro back in the Philippines. It might be a good start for his savings in a bank. Actually been planning to open an account for him. He's 12 years old and the youngest in the family. Would it be nice to have something for his future? Hmmmm...
• United States
13 Mar 08
If you are into saving for your family may I recommend the Automatic Millionaire by David Bach? I checked out the audio cd last summer and I was really impressed with the information it had on it! 12 years old. It is sure would have been nice when I was 12 to have an older sibling looking out for me!
• United States

That is so nice to have such a close relationship with others. Are you from the Philipines? I used to know someone from there but that was some time ago. Do you have any connections in Japan or China too? I have always wanted to chat with people in Asia just to see what life is like there! Do you think it would be possible to get a front page of a newpaper from the Philipines? I would love to share it with my students!
• Philippines

Will check on it.. Thanks for the info. I love my younger bro so much. He's actually an adopted sibling but we treat him more than our own flesh and blood.

I am planning to save it for buying a new camera. I am trying from other sources also. because if i rely upon only on MyLot, the camera i have in Mind will become outdated by the time i earn enough....
• United States
17 Mar 08
That is too funny! I know that making income from mylot is not exactly a 'million over night' type of thing but if you find other poeple and share this with them you will make more quicker. I try to get on here and have fun with it otherwise it would be a job and jobs stink. Do you have anyother sources for income to speed up the digital camera purchase? May I make some recommendations?
• Indonesia
15 Mar 08
hmmm, haven't planned anything yet. well, I had some in mind but not really planned anything. but perhaps I would save all my earnings in case I would need it for something in the future. I rarely spend my earnings except for main needs, and when I just feel I need to buy something, I would use the money. usually I would only leave it in the savings until I have something new in mind.

I have finally reached the 10 dollar pay mark but moved it up to 50 instead. I had an opportunity to get the first five books of a series called 'Left Beind' and now that I am on book 3 and am sucked in pretty deep I may have to dig in to get a couple more! It is very tempting to spend it on things but I am trying to wait and/or using it for something that I can sell at a profit to make more.

A person can't go wrong with using extra funds to get the basics! I am sure with gas prices going the way they are everything else will go up too! Gas was 3.39 around here last night, since it is the weekend I am sure it will change again for the worst! Have you notice prices always change on a Tuesday (usually up!)? One of the reasons my full size Chevy van hasn't moved for a few days. It was a 30 gallon tank. If gas was $4 a gallon it would cost me $120 to top it off! Who's fault is it that gas prices are so high and climbing?

I seem to have alot of plans with my money from mylot. My inital idea was to save it for a trip to Las Vegas next May. With the stock market down I could really use the cash to scoop up some cheap stocks that would be worth alot more when the recession is over. Recently, and since I finally made the 10 dollar pay off limit, I have been thinking about getting the next couple books in the 'Left Behind' series. Got the first five pretty cheaply and the story has me really sucked in! What do you do for a living?

I'm saving up for a new computer. Mine is kinda junk now and is driving me nuts since it's so slow. I also like to purchase new books all the time, so I figured I'd use some of my earnings for that. I know I'm not going to make millions here, but it's a start. On top of that I also plan on finding other websites that actually pay, but the only other site that I know of that actually pays out is Epinions, as I've gotten 1 check from them.
• United States
13 Mar 08
There are so many pay sites out there. Some of them are good. Others aren't so much. The trouble I run into is I can't spend hours on the computer for pennies! Some of us actually have real jobs and businesses. The idea of multiple sites can make this task even more distracting. How do you use your time wisely with paysites?

A person with a goal! I like the way you can change your minumum from as small as 10 all the way up to $100! It would be nice to run a few webcash sources and then cash them all in at once. I wonder what the tax thing is for something like this? Is it enough to worry about income tax?
