Do you save up your myLot money for anything special?

April 12, 2012 6:41pm CST
Have any of you planned to/already saved up some money made here on myLot for a specific purpose (a clothing item, putting towards a debt, etc.)? I'd love to know what you all are working towards here or if it's just to have some fun on the boards and make a little extra spending/bill money here and there. Anyone already reach a specific goal they set in their early myLot days? Do tell! :)

I don't have idea at the moment what I'm going to do with my earnings here. Maybe I will save it for the future used. Either I will used it to buy some stuff online. Better now we can make a hotel reservation by the use of your Paypal account. I am not very active at the moment, that is why my earnings here is very low but by next month I will be active again so I am expecting to earn more here everyday. I am here just to connect my friends and participate to some of their discussions.

Yeah I really enjoy doing lot if stuff here in myLot. I have huge number of friends whom I always followed and supoorted. In addition, the earnings I get from the site itself. All hotels connected with agoda will accept Paypal as mode of payment.

Awesome! Well I'm glad you're having fun here with friends and enjoying the discussion - it is quite fun, isn't it? Ooh I didn't know that about the hotel reservation with a PayPal account... great info, thanks!

I usually keep earnings from online activities in PayPal because that's what I use if I ever need to pay for something online as well. Once it gets high enough that I know I won't need that much to pay for something, I'll put the balance in my savings. So I guess ultimately I'd like to just save up as much as I could...

Not to my bank account here, I'm not sure how it works in other countries. They used to have minimum amount I could transfer, but now I can transfer any amount at any time.

I'm right there with you for now - just saving up as much as I can, and seeing where it takes me. Does PayPal take money for transferring to your bank account? I forget, as I've only used PayPal a few times and it was a long time ago.

Well sometimes I'll save my earnings and sometimes I don't it just depends on what I need or want by the time I recive my earnings But if I don't need or want anything right away I might wait to spend it and save like I said it just depends.

Nice, it's awesome that you've had the choice to save some earnings and spend some -judging by your number of posts you've been on here a while and have probably earned some good money. Congrats to you!

Christmas. I let it build up all year and then use it to buy the gifts for my four children. I may use some this year early though when we go west to see my cousin get married.

Hi abby, I never had anything specific to spend the money on...But I like another mylotters suggestion,,,I think I will just save it for Christmas shopping..... However I've only been here six months, so I have a long way to go.....lol
14 Apr 12
Hi! Yeah, saving the money for Christmas seems to be a common theme here, which is a really great idea, especially since we still have like 8 more months to go until the holidays and could probably save some good money before then! No worries, I've been here only a few days or like a week! Haha, you've done pretty well so far I'd say, with those 1046 posts!

Before, i used it to buy books online and the previous months i used to pay for my son's tuition...but this year i planned to save it all for December! (i got that idea from another mylotter )
14 Apr 12
That's awesome that you could pay off some tuition of his with this! You go! :) Oooh definitely saving it up for December would be a really good decision - I have a huge family so I have a lot of gifts to buy and stuff! Would you cash in at the $10 minimum and save it somewhere/keep track of it in your bank or would you keep it here at mylot until December - I imagine the latter would be so tempting, watching it all add up! hehe

I intend to save up my money here for rainy days. I won't want to spend it all at once, because it is my hard earned money. I dedicated my time and my idea to work on mylot and other websites to make that money possible. I hope that I can save them little by little, whatever useful purpose that could be for the future.
12 Apr 12
Well, at 6745 posts I'd say you definitely earned your money! :) Good on you for saving it up. Rainy day funds are definitely something we should all have!

I ever that i reach payout here in myLot i will save it. Let it be stuck in my paypal account and let me earn more here in mylot. What i planned is to buy a external hard drive which costs 40 to 100 dollars and i will use my online earnings to buy it online. If not, i will withdraw it to a bank account then use it for emergency use or to buy new clothing for myself. Maybe, if there are extra earnings that i will made, i want to invest it in any legit online earning sites so that it will increase.
14 Apr 12
Oooh you bring up a good point about turning back around and investing it in another method of online earning..very good point. I would definitely need to do more research, myself, as I don't currently know a whole lot about online earning sites and which ones earn you the most/are legit/etc. But it definitely interests me. I need an external hard drive too! I've been using my dad's and saving everything like twice a year but I know that's not enough because I use my computer every day for writing, work, etc.

I am kind of new here but I like it so much, it's fun, enjoying and at the same time you are earning and learning by reading while commenting every discussions here so it's really interesting, Definitely I would save up the money from mylot for paying my bills.
14 Apr 12
I'm new here too! Welcome! :) I find it fun as well, and so far I haven't been doing too bad with the earning, it's slow but steady, you know? Paying your bills...ahh, very responsible, I admire that! Hehe hopefully I will be able to have some restraint and save up money for bills as well!

Not really-really specific, but I think I'm gonna spend most of them on bijou jewelry on ebay. They are so much cheaper and much more unique than the ones I can get at our places. Also, I may buy some CDs which I can't buy in my country and books which haven't been translated to Hungarian...
14 Apr 12
What is bijou jewelry? I guess I can just go to ebay and check it out though! :) Yes, nice little gifts here and there are also a good use of this money if it's side money to you.

i haven't earned anything yet, but it will probably be used for my cloth diaper & yarn addiction.
