I say this in the nicest terms. LOL!! I have a plan to save all my earnings to benefit my kids for christmas. LOL!!So from now on all my mylot money is going to sit and wait until I find good deals and I'll start getting christmas gifts for them. LOL!!! So they benefit from my hours of talking. LOL!!! So what are you going to do with your mylot money? Are you going to save it or spend it? Also this way I don't have to go to the store and waste money on gas. LOL!!!!

Well I only really tend to use it if I am buying something online but I have been leaving it to take it out when we go on holiday next month but maybe now I will leave it there til Christmas - what a good idea! xxx

Thank you Mummymo. I have come to the conclusion that christmas is usually when we have a hard time and so I wanted to make sure that we had some extra disposible cash available to us. LOL!!!

I was only paid once and I have another one pending and waiting for the payout date. I am barely 3 months here so I have not earned much from here. I just enjoy myLot and the money is just a bonus. NOt that I don't need it, I badly need money. But the only earning I got from here was $19.91 (the first month). It's already in my bank and just sitting there. I don't have a plan to spend it just yet because I don't know what to buy with that amount considering the price of the goods nowadays. Maybe if it reaches to $100 maybe then, I will spend it. I would buy a nice bag or maybe a digital camera.

Howdy Bella :)))) most of mine goes for frivolous stuff, that either Jake or I want...mostly jake, LMAO that way it does not cut into my budget for the house and necessities. That is a grand Idea about saving for Christmas however. I think we shall have to try that!

I squander my mylot money on all sorts of different things. Makeup usually...late night Ebay outings. Sometimes a pack of cigs and a six pack. LOL It just depends on my mood I guess.

Well, I think mine would go to cover some amount for my train-ride expenses. I think the little amount I would earn here would end up giving me some more free trips in our local subway system. At least I know that it helps me one way or another. However, if I earn more, I think I would buy myself a pair of jeans.

Thanks Ravenladyj , It was all my discussion on the gas that got me to thinking by christmas we're all going to be strapped becuase everything is going on a steady rise with no hope of stopping. Have fun getting your garden stuff and when you get to PA drop me and Cyn a line and come with us to class once or twice. LOL!!! Have a nice one and thanks.

Sadly I usually have to squander my mylot earnings on things like paying the bills and car insurance! Last month I used it for a third domain name, so I can hope that maybe that will help me earn a little more. I have 3 blogs right now but they are so time consuming I haven't been able to post and earn on mylot as much as I would like to!!

Our bills have to come first before we squander on things we want. I hope that you get a chance to get one and make payot. have a nice one.

I saved it for a while but lately I have been going ebay crazy and spending it like mad. I don't plan on doing much over the summer so if I ever do make payout it will just sit in my paypal.

Yep my money will be sitting in my paypal until the christmas holidays. I might have summer plans but I also have a goal now of how much I have to make a month. This is still fun for me and everything but I definitely would like to make payout everymonth until december that way I have some saved christmas money on the side. LOL!!! Yeah me and my bright ideas.

This is what I have been thinking of doing, I have been putting it towards our holiday that we are going on in a couple of weeks, but then when we come back I think that I seriously need to start my christmas fund off because it might seem like a long way off but it will be upon us before I can think about it. So yes I am going to start saving it from now on.

Since I will only be likely to earn about $10 a month, which converts to £5 it is not much. It will probably go towards clothes or socialising or something like that. I will try saving it though since I am likely to have little money over the next few months.

No matter how small the amount every little bit helps and if you just put it aside and don't touch and save it up you'll be amazed at how much you can save.

If I am getting £5 a month over a year that is only £60, so it isn't really that much. I tend to save as a result of not spending, rather than a conscience effort to save separately.

hi there! that's a good question. Well, I just joined mylot and I haven't reached payout yet. But when I do, I'll just let it sit in my paypal account until Christmas time. And when it is already enough I'll use the money to buy my family Christmas gifts. It's nice to give them something for Christmas for a change. And I bet they will really appreciate it.

I bet that they will appreciate that too. Have a nice one and I hope you reach above payout every month that you are on and active .. have a nice one.

Thanks my kids always come first. they get before I even consider getting something for myself. LOL!!! So I have to say that I'm happy to do this .. It relieves the stress a little to know that there is a little bit of extra for them that I have saved and won't spend it easily.

My mylot earnings as well as my earnings from other sites are sitting in my paypal account. I am trying to save it all up. I used to transfer all of my earnings right into our bank account but I stopped doing that. I don't want this money spent unless we really need it. I do still deposit the earnings from the sites that send checks though. I usually wait a couple of months and let them build up before I bring them to the bank. I had a nice little stack on top of my microwave for awhile. I just took them in so now it is time to start over!

Squander mylot money? Really Bella, slap your wrist! What an insane suggestion. I am very responsible with money. So responsible, I'm seldom allowed any! LOL I use my mylot earnings to pay for the privilege of meeting you all here ever day. Should I be rethinking that? Spend my mylot money elsewhere? Turn it over to the soon to be ex? Give it charity? Give it to you? ............... Well damn! Now I'm confused and bemused and arguing with waaaaaaaaaay too many people in my head demanding their allowance! Thanks a lot Bella! ROFL
