It is hard to earn money yet so easy to expend. You really have to work hard to earn it but it takes few seconds to spend it. Everything now is getting expensive so I have to work harder in order to survive. Do you agree with me?

I so agree with you champoy186! When we have money, it only takes one day to spend it. It is like we are a one-day millionaire. And I hate it. I don't want to spend and spend. What I want to do is to save and work hard. I want to keep away with things I want to buy because they are so tempting.

Thanks cearn25. I myself also try not to spend too much on everything. I have to work hard for my future. Everything is going up. We should work hard for survival. It seems like survival of the fittest come true. Happy mylotting

It is really easy to spend money. It only takes few seconds to lose it. Yet, it takes days or months to earn it. I also hate to spend too much money on the things that I really not needed. It's just that they are tempting me to buy them. Let's just take into our mind that life now is expensive. We have to work hard and spend less.

I coudlnt agree with you more on this statement. I feel like some days i workso much that im so exhausted by the time i even get home. Well i feel right now that i really need to work both at work and online when i can. I am at work working on mylot right now. I really am struggling right now i am trying to get my credit score up so within the next three months i can run my score again so i can purchase a house. I am trying to do everything right but i need more money to do so. Or i really have to stop spending on other things and focus on bills that need to be paid as well so i can get on the right track of getting a house. Work is hard and it doesnts come easy to everyone and i feel i workto much sometimes.

I agree with you lologirl. I guess what you need is to buy first your necessities. I am also trying my luck on earning money online through mylot. I also want to purchase a house but my day work salary is not enough. I can't afford to buy one. I really need more sources of income. I have to work harder for a living. Happy mylotting!

God says in the Quran " We have created man in the exhaustion " This world is not a place of comfort, a place for fatigue , in order to survive and provide the requirements of living , so is life

Yes, it seems like it is too expensive to live a life. Just spend your money wisely and forget about luxuries. Buy those things that you really need. Find other good sources of income. One of which is through making money online. I am glad there is mylot. Happy mylotting!

i agree! living is very difficult now a days and i sometime wonder how fast money can spend when you spend all your time working all day juts to earn money. the cost of living is getting much expensive that even if you only have a child to raise is difficult. so at this time, we need to be frugal and always buy first what he truly needs, then save. my husband and i decided to open a junior account for our 20-month old son, instead of educational plan. we are afraid of the downfall of several pre-need plan companies that we opt savings better.

That is such a great idea. Opening a bank account for his future is good. Pre-need plan companies are really dangerous nowadays. I've heard many of these are getting bankrupt. Many of their clients are losing money that is intended for the future of their children. Good luck to you and your family.

Hello Champoy, I agree!.These days the price of everything has increased so much that we have to work very hard to buy these.These days the rates of fruits/vegetables are so high that one need to check out first if it is in the budget or not before buying it. No doubt the pace with which the rates of the basic things are increasing is much more than the pace with which we get yearly increaments in job that's why we feel its easy to spend money than to earn.

I suggest to list first all fruits and vegetables you need before going to the market. In that way, you know what you need and what you should purchase. I think it is a good strategy to make sure that you don't run over your budget. It is really easy to spend our money yet it's so hard to earn. Let us just spend our money wisely. It should be necessities over luxuries. Happy mylotting!

Hi there champoy186, I think times are getting rougher, and costs are getting higher yet wages don't right??? Well what can we do we just try to work harder each day try to find a better source of livelihood and maybe somehow survive it all but hey we have faith and our loved ones to inspire us, so lets soldier on and offer our hard work to them.

You are definitely right there deodavid. Everything is getting higher except our wages. That is one of the reason why it is hard to make a living nowadays. You have to work harder and find other sources of income. Having a one full time job is not enough. We have to find other jobs to support our self and our family. Life is getting tougher. We really have to work, work, work and earn, earn earn...

I agree with you, with everything rising in price it is becoming harder and harder, I have found myself having to go without a few things and having to buy cheaper things at the supermarket, and I don't think it is going to get any better in the near future.

Yes, it feels like as the time goes by, it is getting harder compared before. Most people now are getting practical and buy stuffs that they really need, no more extra. Like you, I only buy few things and choose the cheapest ones. I always have a tight budget. I hope things will be getting better in the future. Happy mylotting!

ya m very much agree with u, it is very hard earn money but very much easy to spend it, the thing has been changed in last few years, everything is getting expensive everyday, so the item we used to purchase in less amount for the same we are bound to pay more. A person who is not able to earn more is very difficult to survive for him.

Yes, if a person is too lazy, I'm sure it would be hard for me to survive. We really have to work hard and earn money for our future. Spend less on luxuries. Purchase only those things that you really need. In today's world, everything is getting too expensive so we have to save our money and find good sources of income. Happy mylotting!

Lots of people can probably relate to this. I also find it harder and takes longer to reach a certain amount of money required for certain needs. And as you said, as soon as we reach the amount, it only takes seconds to disappear because the needs have been waiting.

Indeed. You really have to work hard to reach a certain amount to buy what you need. It is getting harder and harder as the time passes by. I guess that is the reason why a lot of people are having online jobs to earn more in order to survive. Everything is getting expensive now thus we need other sources of income. Happy mylotting!

My salary from my day job is not enough to buy the things I want. That's why I am looking for another good source of income. I found it in the internet. Making money online is so easy. It doesn't need any technical skills. I found that in mylot. This is a good place to earn while you learn. I know I can't make big money here. At least, I earn some extra cash that I might use in times I need it. Happy mylotting!
