Hello to all the users of mylot. I have a question for you guys. Are you contented to the money that you have in your pocket? Is it enough for your daily living? How can you manage it? Because of this time we are facing economic crisis and the prices of different products are now increasing.

it's better salary than others to tell you but it's still not enough if you're the one's paying all the bills and needs to save at the same time. goodluck.. but of course, i'm wanting to look for better job and better salary.

In this economy, you really can't have to much or enough money. Things cost so much more than they sued to, which makes it harder to hang onto our money. I am tring to save, but that is hard too, because I have had emergencies come up, where the money I had saved, I had to use it. I am hoping that doing things online, I can start saving again. I sm always looking for ways to make money, and it is hard to find anything decent without getting scammed, and I have been there enough, and not going that way again. Well, I wish you good luck and happy mylotting.

no, i am not contented with the money we have right now, it is not enough to pay all our bills, that's why i am looking for ways to earn online to help with the family income. it is really hard to manage something that is not really enough, sometimes you have to let go of something, so you can get by... like now, next week school starts, i havent bought my kids new shoes since they still have their old ones and its still ok to use, everybody in the family have to adjust... and its hard sometimes when you want whats best especially for your kids... thankfully though, my kids can understand our situation right now.

I have actually seen prices of a lot of things dropping lately. That always makes me happy! My husband and I are both lucky because we still have our jobs. I just found out that my contract was extended for another year. That was definitely a huge relief for me! We do use the times when we have money and jobs to prepare for the future. You cant expect to be able to survive in the hard times without any preperation. So we are always preparing for what might happen in the future! We make sure that we save money, even if we have to give up something else.

Mine is not. I manage, but I never have any extra to take my kids anywhere, or go out myself. On top of that if my car were to break down or anything like that I would be up a creek. There is no room for saving with my budget, and I wish there was!
