I told him he has to earn his $10 payout by May 26 as that is when he leaves for Saudi and who knows how long til he's hooked up with internet LOL. Of course he thinks I am very unfair, but I think it's a reasonable goal, and that it's something to strive for. What do you think? Do you think I'm a big meanie like him? Or do you think it's good to set goals?

I do think it is good to set goals. I try to set a goal for myself daily and monthly. So I don't think you are being a meanie at all. How far away is he from the payout? Is a lot or a little? I missed payout last month by 40 cents, and then the first day of May I made it over the 10 dollar payout. So I know I have already made payout for the month of May. I am shooting for 20 by the end of May. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your husband. I hope he has a safe trip and returns safely as well. God Bless!!!

You may not like my reply. lol I think its good to set goals, but other people cannot set those goals for us. We need to set goals for ourself and they stay motivated to meet those goals.

I definitely think it is a good idea to set goals. I set goals for my partner when it came to posting here and getting payout for her and it took her over a year to actually get the payout of $10 which is just insane. I kept setting goals for her because she was so close and she just never posted here much until she was only a few cents away and then she decided to start posting here to get payout.

I think its good to set goals. I have really been slacking-- I have not made the $10 payout for the last two months! 2 months! That's pretty bad! If he posts a lot he should have no trouble hitting the goal by the 26th.

Although it is good to set goals. I think some things might hinder one doing so. If he is getting ready to leave for Saudi, I would think that he has other things on his mind than myLot. And even though myLot serves as a distraction...it might be a unreasonable goal for him to accomplish. I am sorry for disagreeing with you and I hope my differing opinion does not earn me a negative because it is only my opinion.

I think the goal you set was reasonable. He still has almost 3 weeks, so that shouldn't be too hard to reach. I try to set goals for myself as well. My husband doesn't do mylot, or I would set a goal for him, too. :) My husband and I both usually need goals, or we don't get too far. I guess neither of us is motivated enough on our own.

Hi there again 4cuteboys.....In my Opinion I think its great to set goals, I think everyone should use this great tool, It really does seem to get us motivated more than if we didn't have a set time or day. You are not being a meanie you just would like to see it be complete. Best wishes and Good Luck Stacy

Good plan, but aren't you afraid of losing him to the net? Don't you want him to pay attention to you?
