Have you ever tried working?

Not to be rude, but if at all possible I've found that working brings in the extra money needed. Part time or anything, lots of people even get SSI or Disability, that don't want to work and they are no worse off than people who do work. Even if it's just enough work to get the money for what you really want to do. Working will make you feel better about yourself and secure you a future in something you like. It will still be work but when you like what you do it don't seem like work.

I work at least 40 hrs. a week if not more.A lot of the people on Mylot just can't make it on a regular 40 hr. paycheck.Therefore,they try to make extra money online. Of course,there are others that are just too lazy to work and think they can make a living off of the internet. There are also some people that are just plain lazy and think the government should pay their way in life.This is part of the problem with our economy.

Thanks for your comments I work 40 hours a week for pay the other for myself. Your right it's hard making it on a regular salary almost impossible on minimum wage. I'm not putting anyone down for making extra money online,it's an inspiration to me on things I can do.

Hi, I didn't think it was a rude question, but I did find it a bit odd. I've been working since I was 15. However, I'm trying to get into the full groove of freelancing as I don't want to be an employee anymore. take care...

Why yes, I've tried working! Infact you'll never guess but I have a job right now! Amazing huh? Just because people post here and get a little spare cash every few months doesn't mean that they don't work! They may be a small amount of obsessives who post here all day long, every day, but you won't be able to change their attitudes as they are probably long lost to society and would be hidden away even if they didn't have access to the net. Whats with the "not to be rude but..."? Thats just covering yourself from being rude when you know thats what your doing! I have issues with people who are on different benefits and who don't need them, but those that do have problems and require that money to survive should not be targeted for the situation that they are unfortunatly in.

I appreciate your comments anyways, I haven't targeted anyone especially mylot users or people in dire need of benifits. Mylot users work hard if don't notice this is not the easiest task, and I know there are needy people thatreceive benifits there are just as many that don't and many more not needing such benifits.
