as a wife and a new mommy, i am always at home taking care of my baby. but she's really behave and i want to do something while she's playing or sleeping. I want to earn extra money aside from our business. Having extra money makes me independent. i can have financial freedom, i can buy whatever i want. But no, i won't spend my extra money for something not really important. I want to earn extra money to invest in stock market for our retirement fund. I'll just let our business to take care of our expenses now, try to live simply and invest so we can retire rich. how about you?

I'm trying to save up for a Macbook. I'm in college and so a lot of my earnings from my on campus employment go toward food, school supplies, gas for my car, the occasional night out at a bar or something. It's hard to save too much from that source of income, so I'm trying to find ways to get paid for what I enjoy to do online anyway (often wasting a lot of time doing it too). The money I make from sites like myLot are going in a paypal account that I won't touch until I have enough money for my Macbook. Once that happens then I'll use the money I've saved up :)

That sounds cool. i would normally withdraw it into my bank account or invest it somewhere where I can earn more money. However, I plan to buy a camera sometimes with the money.

I don't believe I will ever be rich, but I do know I will have some extra cash later on once I get my house payed off next year. To me for now, the cash I make online helps me to make my kids Christmas every year. They enjoy it when they know that I work online to buy them presents. I don't buy tons of stuff but I do spend a good $200 a year online for my kids Christmas presents, and that makes me happy knowing I worked for my kids, and to put a smile on their faces.

yes, in today's life, expenses is getting higher, so we have to get ahead of that and have extra income if our monthly salary is not enough. besides, it's always good to have different source of income.

I want to make extra money to buy what we want not just for my self but for my wife and kid as well. The needs are covered by my salary but sometimes its not enough to buy the things that me and my wife wants, especially now that we have a kid, we just want to spend for something that our baby wants since he is now growing up like toys and such. We want to experience the some material pleasures in life and to achieve that, more money is needed.

Hi, I agree with you, however, we must always arrange everything from now on, especially towards a better future, one of them by keeping our money wisely, investing is a solution of the many existing solutions. I had a bad experience in financial investment, however, carelessness can make us fall into poverty. That's what we experienced. Have a nice day

Compare with your thoughts my notion is meaningless.I want to make extra money just for I want to have more pocket money that I can buy something, just since I like it.I am a college student,but my English is not very well.So I go to this site to improve my English.Then maybe I can translate some things to make extra money.

Well your goal was my goal until recently. Recently my husband has lost his job and unemployment has turned us down so we have no income coming in and no health insurance. We also have three kids. We are living off of our savings right now which really stinks. So I am trying to make as much money on line as I can to help stretch out our savings until my husband finds another job. I will probably also get a part time job if he still does not have a job by the time school starts. But since my kids are home from school now and my husband needs to be free to go on interviews I can't get a job until school starts. So online is the way for me to go right now to pull in some extra cash.

this is the reason why that i wanted to make extra money since i have children to take care of from my first husband,at least i dont have to ask money to my second husband if ever my children needs it. in fairness to my husband he is supportive in many ways..no complaint at all,its just that i am just shy to ask evrything to him...im sure a lot can relate with my situation....

for now i want to earn extra money just to buy what i need in school, because we are not rich and sometimes my parents don't have extra money to buy all that i need in school, thats the reason why i do online job.
