everyone wishes they had a money tree in their back garden. how amazing would that be? it grew exactly what you needed, when you needed it.. great life, no work, no worries. but sure we can all dream.
now-a-days, we all struggle financially.. well maybe not all of us, i know a fair few people who could do with throwing a few £ my way because it sure wouldn't leave them short lol! but most people struggle. and if not struggle, when they have their rent, or mortgage paid, bills, loans, groceries bought etc.. it doesn't leave them with much to, have fun with?
i've been trying out a few ways to earn money online, from pay to click sites, gaming sites, survey sites, and so far i've made about $20.. it's not a lot by thats half my electric bill for a month so you can't be bad to that. i've also made about $25 selling things on ebay too :) now i'm not always going to have things to sell which is the only downfall.
does anyone else make money online, and how do you increase your cash flow?

Well, since i have a fixed income because of my full time job, i make extra money through Mylot. Also at the office, i would sell some perfumes that my friend gives me to sell with a mark-up of course. At least that helps.
But what really helps is living within my means.

see thats my problem, big time, i tend to very much live outside my means. if i want new clothes, i buy them and instead of doing a "normal" grocery shop, i'll get what i need, and then what i want, and find myself struggling at the end of the month, especially when all the foods been eaten lol! i have a few different ways to get a few extra ££ but lucky for me i have friends and family who will lend me £10 or £20 here and there when i need it :)

At least you accept that you live outside of your means. That way, you will be able to analyze what are your needs and what are your wants. It has to be , that needs should be met first before your wants, if you want to live within your means and be debt free.

I have always worked since I was younger. When I had my little girl about a year ago I took off work. I couldn't see someone else raising my kid! Especially with all the creepers nowadays! So we have had it kind o rough with only my husbands paycheck. So I am constantly looking for ways to make money when I can. I use mypoints. Almost got enough for a target gift card so I can buy my older kid some school clothes. Then I do I paid for posting site which is really professional like. I think I'll be getting like 59 dollars from that next month. It's hard work though. Then I found this place which I enjoy posting at and if I make some money here that'd be cool too. Inwould try eBay but I really don't have too much to bother selling. When we moved last time we had a huge yrdsale and sold all our cool stuff.

Douglas Adams,in his "Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" series,wrote about a group of people whose spaceship crash landed on prehistoric Earth,and adopted leaves as their currency,which at first made everyone very rich...unfortunately,there were so many leaves available,inflation was a problem,so they decided to carry out deforestation to solve the problem! For my online earnings,I do surveys mostly that'll make payment in Amazon vouchers,or by paypal,and of course,Mylot..I'm always interested in others!

you know, groceries are expensive, supplies are expensive enough, time online is limited and yes, it would be nice to have a money tree to help out with those things. :) Life is about worries, work and dreams too! :) Sometimes I think the only way we can have our cake and eat it too is to dream about it and have fun doing what we are doing now. :) hope this helps! :)
