Hi all,
I was just driving in my car and then I saw this very nice car driving past me. It was a Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup truck. I live in holland so they are pretty rare. Then I thought well I don't really have a purpose for the money I make online and now I have. I want to save up my cash (earned by affiliate marketing etc.) to buy a Dodge 1500 Pickup Truck.
What are you all saving for or is it just to live of the web. Just wondering ;).
With kind regards,
MOnline

I'm not really saving it for anything special. I have yet to actually hit payout on this site, and currently it's the only one I'm on.
I guess I just got sick of spending lots of time on message boards and forums and getting nothing substantial out of it. All-in-all, the ones I was on were just kind of a waste of time. Yeah, I was talking to people, but I didn't get anything actually out of it, and I spent so much time doing it, it seemed like a waste.
Now I have Mylot, and since my schedule is busier I don't have hours to kill, but the time I do have to spend on it will actually eventually amount to something.
Best of luck with the truck. ^^

You could take the money you make on MyLot and buy your self a domain and start blogging about your hobbies.
I didn't make much of anything with my websites before I converted them to blogs and now I have a dozen blogs, mostly about my hobbies like fishing, traveling and gardening.
A domain will cost you less than $10.00 a year and hosting can be as little as $5.00 a month. Once you have the first blog producing enough to pay for itself you can start another one.
It's a lot of fun and very rewarding.

Hi cheshireKat,
Thank you very much for your reply. To bad you don't have enough time to earn money online anymore. I guess there are also a lot of scams out there so that could be very dissapointing. As for myLot you know they pay and its fun to take part of discussions or start your own discussions.
Also webmann has given you the advice to start a blog. I would say give it a go when you got the time. It doesn't take up to much of your time if you write about something you like to do.
This one is for webmann. I just wanted to say good luck with saving for your boot. It is expensive I can see but so is my truck ;). Its nice to set goals it keeps you motivate I guess.
With kind regards,

I am saving up to buy a house. We hope we can find a house where the sellers are willing to pay closing costs but if they won't we want the money to pay closing ourselves. I can't beleive how much closing on a house is!

Hi luvstochat,
I know how much closing costs so I can really relate to your problem. It really is too much be he you will need to pay it so why not build up a backup ;). Best of luck saving for your closing on your house. If the sellers are willing to pay that would be even better then you will just have saved yourself a whole lot of money.
With kind regards,

My eyes have been on a nice Bass fishing boat. My wife doesn't care to fish but she likes to come with me when I go places. I had a boat years ago when our son was pretty little and we all loved it. My wife would read, my son would play and sleep and I would fish.
Now my fishing hobby is starting to earn me more money online and that's what I will use to pay for it. It's just around $30,000.00
Maybe then, my son who is now in his 20s will come fishing with me again.

Hi webmann,
Sorry posted my reply into one. Take a look at the reply I wrote above ;). Best of lucks saving for your both. But I guess your son will go fishing with you no matter what. Its just something you do and its fun too ;). I am 20 years old myself so I know how much my parents apriciate it when I do something with them.
With kind regards,
