I use all my mylot payments to help build up my savings. I want a cusion of at least 6mths income saved and this is helping along with a high interest online savings account.

I plan to have a pizza with my first mylot payout.You could buy anything you like with your first payout.If you don't have anything to buy you could put the money in your bank.

My first payout is still in my PayPal account, actually. I plan on using it online, so that I am not tempted to use part of my paycheck instead. I think that it will be better, financially. I am taking what I get from the internet and putting it back into the internet. And, if I still have some left over at times, then I can always use it to buy ice or something if I ever find that I need it. There will always be something that it will be useful for.

well firstly, it will all depend on the amount that you will get on your first payout. i would say if its going to be a 3-figure amount, don't spend all of it and maybe save half "for the rainy days". but if you really want to splurge on, how about getting yourself a personal item like a bracelet with a "love from mylot" engraving so it will constantly remind you of all the effort that you have put in here that enables you to get that bracelet. sounds good?

i would recommend adding it to your savings account....coz i dont know anything useful that u could buy with $10...or maybe you could go to the dollar shop and buy 10 things! JK

I have been paid twice by mylot crediting a total of 22 dollars into my paypal account in the last 6 months. and i am hoping to make my 3rd payout soon but it won't be early than the next month ending so i would receive my 3rd payout in the month of September. Till then i hope to accumulate a good amount so that i can really buy something nice of it. I haven't credited my payment from paypal into my bank account yet. So i am eager too about spending the money which i earned online. I guess, i would be getting it on my credit card so it can perhaps help me clear my credit card bill. Or i can even use the same money to buy something for me. i can buy a good pair of shoes for myself. Hmm.. You can perhaps some nice shoes for urself too or may be a bracelet if you are fond of jewellery.. We can plan it for an outing to a place we have never visted before so as it would remind us that we visited that place by the money we earned over here..

The first time I got my payout, I treated myself out coz' the amount I got wasn't that much and not even enough to put in my savings.. so I just spent it :) On my next payouts, i'd probably save up for a laptop!

Nice point to discuss. I would suggest spend apart of it in your online business if you think about it seriously. Rest part save it.

I am striving to make some more points on this site so I can save up my earnings to a substantial amount that I can spend some money on my son and myself. There are things that I need and I would like to share with my son and get him some things I feel he would like and deserve. I think this is a nice site to meet friends and discuss everyday topics and issues. And, of course an honest way to earn a little extra income. Spend a little time on yourself and go out for the day and buy some clothes or even get your hair done.

How about you set aside some of the money as savings? I know I will surely do that once I have the money. Secondly, you could possibly consider some of investments. For example investment into some online business or private franchise offline. This is a way to earn more money with money. No matter what, we will need to invest money to get more money in our lives as all of dream of getting out of the rat race and getting the freedom to do what we want to do in the future. That is something I had always been doing with the money I earn online - saving and reinvestment to grow even more money. What do you think?

I had a few ideas of what to do with my first mylot earnings. When it came, it felt good to have it in my paypal account and I did not feeling touching it yet and so I waited for the next one which also came and added to my paypal account. I am thinking of waiting until the next payout which could be this month or next month, depending on whether I make it this month or the next. Cheers!!

Well, I'm approaching my first payout here and I think I will put it into the bank or else just leave it in paypal for buying Christmas presents. I am a stay at home mom and do this to have a little extra that I would not otherwise have. I hope I make next payout date too. I will be trying hard! Take care, have a great day and happy myLotting!!
