Earning online has helped me save money.

Ever since I started making good money online, every time I buy something I think to myself what I had to do to earn that money online (even though I also work full time) it has made me very conscious of how I spend my money and has actually helped me from buying un needed things. When you work harder for your money I think you spend it a little wiser.

That's true. That is why people who experienced the hard things in life are those who know how to use their money wisely. It is good thing that you are conscious with your spending habit as well. :)

I have the exact same issue as you when I've just started making money online. But my habit of spending are still the same, I'm still full of debts and hoping to clear it all of. People tend to appreciate their money more if they work for it. Like me, I'm getting my allowance from my mother so basically I don't have any savings. Hope to start saving and earn :D

It has saved me money through the vouchers I receive from some of the survey sites and of course the cash received is handy in these times...

well good for you if that's the case. perhaps you're earning almost as much as your daily salary with your online earnings.

I completely agree with you. When you compare what you are about to spend with how many hours of work it took to earn that money, you really see how hard you work. Whether you are working a regular job, making money online, or doing both it is really important to think about how long it takes to make a certain amount of money and decide what you really want to do with it. For me, moving out on my own was what really caused me to evaluate my spending habits. I used to buy odds and ends that I didn't need without even thinking about it. Once I had to completely support myself, that habit dwindled considerably!
