Happy Thanksgiving, everyone I sometimes buy these, in the hope to become rich, have a lot of money to pay debts and to be able to travel some more. To be able to achieve a lot of material goals, we work hard to acquire the money, either through employment, business, gambling with money, buying lottery tickets, and other means of generating money. How do you earn money to achieve your goals that require it?

I work, even if we both have reached the retirement age, we still do partial work to make a bit of money. Your vegetable turkey is great.

I sometimes play the lottery too but of course the best plan is to have a savings account

I use to buy scratch cards whenever I have a chance. Won some and it was fun.

I don't ever buy a lottery ticket because I think it would be a waste of money. Rich people don't look happy to me. I believe that it is better to be happy with my life as it is. I have tried to travel cheaply and sometimes I manage that. Though as I get older prices seem to get more expensive. I have learned debt can make me feel very miserable. I had a mortgage for 6 to 7 years that I couldn't wait to get out of. I don't wait to use credit cards unless I pay off the money the next month. I like to have a savings account which I regularly look at to see its progress. I have built a beginners emergency fund and currently I am working on building more money for this. From 20th April to 31st January I am saving up for my front door.

Sometimes I think lottery tickets will just waste my money. There's greater chance of losing than winning. I will just trust my siblings income will make us wealthy

I mostly worked at some job or other to earn money. I did win over $2,000 on Bingo once on a cruise ship so that was a nice bonus.

It's funny, I actually just purchased a scratch off ticket - I won my $1 back that I spent on it. Funny!

I once dreamt about winning the lottery and I was so sure it would happen! It hasn't yet... I think gambling to become rich is very difficult, unless you have a lot of money to gamble with! I play poker and slots but purely for fun. It's less pressure but very very fun!!

I do online jobs. Sometimes I buy a lottery ticket, but I have never been lucky.

I prefer multiple streams. Paychecks, royalties from books, affiliate marketing, sites like this, rental property, and interest off my investments. Having a lot of baskets helps to avoid the occasional rotten egg.
