i've been wondering why there are still americans here using mylot from america. fact: the average hourly rate in america is 6-8 dollars. in an hour of spending time here in my lot wouldnt even make you 4$ right? so why spend your time here? if you can work even two jobs and earn much much more? what do you guys think? just wondering. no pun meant. thank you

Although it's true that many Americans have a good paying job, the cost of living is really high also. My husband and I both have a good paying job, but yet we are in a sense still living paycheck to paycheck, because the state I live in they place a whole bunch of senseless taxes on just about everything you can think of. So in a sense most are pretty much handing out that money almost just as quick as they are making it. Mylot gives people a chance to make a little extra for themselves so maybe they'll have a little extra money to do things with instead of handing that money out to utility companies and landlords (for those that rent). But I believe the general amount of Americans that come on this site are only here for the discussion and to make friends (such as myself) the money part is just a bonus.

I am an American and I am on this site because I do not have a job. I've looked all around in my town and surrounding town but no one is hiring me. So why not come here to try and make some cash?

I'm an American... you can't stereotype that every single American has a job and earns that much money. I go to college and I don't have a job and i figured hey why not make some money over the internet which requires me to stay at home.

Why wonder? Accept we are American's and can do as we like, WE don't care about your pay, or what you are doing with your time, Why are you worried about ours? This is getting so ignorant now, leave us Americans alone, Don't Hate Appreciate!

Maybe North Americans are other only ones using this site properly. I think we are the using this site to actually discuss things properly instead of asking stupid questions (your one isn't a stupid one, I've just seen a lot of stupid questions.. ;-) I'm not using this site to make money. I get a lot more out of it by meeting people, and talking and sharing ideas, stories, advice etc. The money is just a little incentive to use this site and not another site...

Because like the people in the rest of the world we all have free time to. Some of us enjoy reading and responding to all this blobbity blah.

Hahaha. This isn't a job, its just a tiny amount of extra money. Where I live, you couldn't live in a cardboard box for how much you make on MyLot. I don't care what the potential is, the site can't pay you $250,000. This isn't a way to make a living, its just a tiny bit of extra money for spending. If you think this is an alternative to a job, your job must pay very little.

Hey, I think they are using it not for money purpose, but for friends making, and idea sharing, also for casualling and have fun!

I think that there are many other things then money that people are looking for.. And mylot give them the place for that... Mylot is a great place to find friends talk about your feellings and communicate with other members... The greatest thing about mylot is that you can get honest feedback of whatever you are discussing... Earning is just a little motivation for them.
