What do you do (or plan on doing) with your myLot earnings?

I plan on using it to help me in my move to California. I am saving up money right now for the move and at this point every little bit helps. It is my hope that I will be able to cash out soon. With cashing out I will be able to add a little bit more to moving and getting a new and better job. I live in Indiana now and there are not very many jobs to be had. I qualify for some better jobs in California but need to live there first so that I don't have to fly in for an interview. What are you using or plan on using your mylot earnings for?

That's where it's at for me. I have been doing a lot of school work and don't have a ton of time. That's actually what I should be doing right now. :S

I save all my earnings from myLot as sort of a "XX Club"... Meaning, the first part of the year, whatever I earn, I use for my son's birthday in August, so I cash out in June/July. After that, whatever I earn, I put towards my Christmas shopping, so I cash out in Nov/Dec. I love doing this because it's like a forced savings account and whatever is in there, is in there. These days, every little bit helps!

That's a really cool idea! I should try something like that after I get to Cali.

Put it back for something. Trust me, ten dollars a lot of the time is something that many of us come up short. Well five dollars a lot of the time, but there are times where if I had just five more dollars or ten more dollars, I could get something else. That myLot earning represents that ten extra dollars that I need. It is just that extra. If nothing else, it will add up over time. If I make more, than so be it. It will go in the same account. When I need the money, I think it will be most appreciated at any time. After all, it's not what you make, it's what you save. If I continue to save month after month what I make at myLot, it will continue to accumulate over the next several months or years or whatever.

I plan to invest it online to earn more. Otherwise that should pay for my electric bills.

I want to go on holiday with my friends but I don't have a job, so everything I earn online will be going towards my holiday. I think I will have enough in about six months or so to take the holiday (but will take the holiday whenever I get time off from university) and after that I shall be saving my money towards no particular cause..

I eventually want to take a trip. I am way too poor to go alone, but I have a friend that I would like to visit eventually. At this rate I will be able to go visit him in about 5 years. :p I'm averaging about 1$ every three days. I could also use the extra money for school and bills, but I think mylot cash will go directly into my trip fund.

I am planning to increase my bank balance with my earnings. I will spend when I will feel to purchase some gadgets or clothes. Right now only saving money for future use. My earnings are too slow, I have earned anything yet via tasks which can help to increase earnings faster. I hope I can submit some tasks which would be surely approved! Just keeping my fingers crossed now.

Hi, you have got a great plan going. For me, the earnings are in my Paypal and I don't know what I can do with it other than online purchasing. I was hoping to make some investment for the money to "grow" but the amount is too little and most high return investment does not use Paypal.

I am not sure if I misunderstood. It seems like you don't understand about myLot payment system. Forgive me if I state something that you already know. myLot payment is done once a month, every month. You cannot cash out at will. 15th is payment date, sometimes it's early, like last month we got it on 14th. You can set your cash out to a higher minimum, however, it is set to $10 by default. So if you make $10 by the end of the month, you will be paid whatever you make by end of the previous month on 15th of the next month. Of course, all these are in the FAQs. Well, I have already used my first cash out from myLot to buy a small digicam. My husband broke my digicam, so I needed a new one. Only myLot earning was not enough, so I used some of my other online earnings too. I am now trying to save enough to make a kitchen storage cabinet. Don't know when will I be able to afford it. But it's nice to have a goal.
