Today, after some help from friends due to my forgetting how it was done, I placed a new avatar from a picture taken while on my vacations at St. Maartin, less than 2 weeks ago.
I love pay day , even when I don´t make payout. I love when mylot logo turns green. Everyone is happy at the same time. This month I will not reach payout because I was on my 15 days vacation. But guess who helped pay for it: mylot
So, every time that I see my avatar here,every day when I make a post or answer my friends, I remember that mylot, besides the knowledge, the friends, the recipes, the good ideas (and also some fights) helped me get there and will help me again go who knows where, God willing
.
Do you use in a special way your mylot earnings or it depends on thwe needs of the moment? I try not to touch them for anything. As I said, my avatar here is my reminder

I did not had an avatar during my first year at myLot, and I finally uploaded one after a friend told me "that I needed one to have a personality"
. Even if I think I have a personality without an avatar, I uploaded one
. I am accustomed to it, and other members too, and I don't see any reason to change. My earnings at myLot are not specifically allocated. I use the money on my PayPal balance to buy online when I need or want something. They would not be important enough to pay my holidays.

I usually change my avatar with another picture of myself every time I go to a vacation. I hope I don`t get very old in a year, purple, so that you don`t recognise me at all.
But I agree: when I see your morningglories, I go check

Top - I thought you said that you were saving your earnings in Paypal to pay for something specific, but now I read that you just spend them online when you want something.
I do recognize and identify many users based on their avatars, although there are some that do change avatars, and then it takes me a little while to get used to their new avatars. I read most of the responses in discussions, but I admit to paying more attention to certain people that I easily recognize when I see their avatars.

I remember last year when I was making payout every month or two for a while...what happened to that you might think...It is called school, poor health and not enough hours in the day. I don't know right now what I will do with my earnings when I see them again. Occasionally they did wind up paying bills (whether online or offline) and because of an online partnership that no longer exists I lost my original paypal account that I had for years. Now I won't be touching any of my earnings except to make payments as necessary to members of various sites I run. I wish that I had a better way to get money in and I could save it up like you do. It costs so much to travel around here that I would need a lot more than I make from ALL of my online earnings for several years to take even a short trip. Oh well...Hopefully you will be able to have many more wonderful trips.

I actually do pretty well at clixsense, but most of the time I forget about wordlinx because most of the time there are very few links when I do go there. I hope that I am able to start spending more time on this kind of stuff, but it depends on if the school lets me restart classes or not. I hope to find that out today and then if I don't start classes again I might do more in here and everywhere else. If I do start tomorrow, then I will do what I can in here and on sites. Talk to you later!

I don`t earn too much at mylot because writing in English is a slow process. Sometimes I also think that My fingers and eyes don`t help either. I upgraded at some sites and I know that if I lived in the US, I would earn more. When you becaome a verified member at clixsense and wordlinx, you get geotargeted links and most of them are for the US.

Well do I ever have plans for it! Honestly what I do with it varies. A lot of times I use it on things I don't need. I do have plans for it, but it always changes! I probably have five or ten different reasons under each discussion asking how we use our earnings!
A nice vacation would be nice though. I was watching a video on youtube and saw beautiful Australia! I'd love to visit!

I love vacations because I feel it´s part of health. I come back happy and relaxed, full of energy. I thought I would have to use my vacations money for the extra hospital expenses I have been having, but my family has been awfully nice and each of them has helped me some.

Hello dear,
I was very active in Mylot in the past. I came here a week or so ago, to use the earnings for charity. There is a non profit organization which collect donations about shelter for homeless dogs. If anyone wants to participate and help with any money, he/she may join in a Facebook group, joining this group the person declare that he is also willing to pay a small membership tax, which will go for animals taken from this shelter and being healed in private vet clinics.
Because I am not doing very well lately with all other jobs I have online, I decided to get back here and use the money for my membership tax, sending all the payouts directly to the non profit organization.
I know there are options and I am willing sometimes to try and change the amount of of the payout I would like to receive. It is a big challenge for me to try and reach 100$. I know it would take a lot, but the idea gets me excited and if it happens some day and I am able to collect the payouts til they reach this amount I would really be able to put the money into some of my needs I guess.

I earn about $100 a month online, but I work at several sites and exchange links to get free active referrals (more work for me too, of course). Mylot is not the site where I earn more, but it is the one I have fun posting. I play everyday at a site called freerice.com It helps donate rice to the 2 BILLION undernourished people on the planet. I know all of us have our own charities. I prefer to help people although I love dogs.
I must confess though that I spend all of my online earnings in my one luxury: vacations. I live on a tight budget that does not allow for vacations of any sort. I make it possible with the aid of a timeshare I have from the time my husband was alive, some dollar prizes I get for using my credit card and 3 piggybanks where I put coins every time I do something that meanns saving
.
I have the $10 minimum here, but I don´t reach payout every month. This month I won´t, as I had my year´s vacation.

I make that amount working hard online and it also takes time. I have some free direct referrals because I exchange links with friends (mostly here). If, say, we both have an active referral, we will reach cashout soner
. I don´t earn much here although it´s the site I love best. But my English is not good enough to type and express myself without going to the dictionary as it´s not my native language.

This website called freerice.com ... I understood about it long ago. But at that time and it is still valid, my English was and still is not that good, so I tried to register there and then I saw that there is a big wall in front of me caused because of my bad English skills. Probably I should try it again and see what will happen. I stay on the computer every day, so why not spending some time helping people who suffer from hunger.
I think I also should make a coin box too. I am having few metal boxes from perfumes I have bought in the past. Sometimes when we are having enough money, I put there white coins (yellow coins in our currency are not enough for anything, even really much of them at once), so I put white coins there and when the paper money finish, we have for food for 2-3 days.
I probably should hide one of them for very very urgent cases and for future uses like some small trip, or even vacation.
I am very happy for you that you are able to make such amount every month. I mean the 100$. It is a great extra and collected for few months it would help for something bigger than daily needs.

It is a beautiful new avatar, my dear friend, and I am so happy to see you smiling and enjoying yourself!

If I saved up my myLot earnings for a year, then I would be able to take my children to a theme park or something like that for a day. It might not be the longest vacation ever, but it is still a much needed break from the day to day existence, and it is not a bad idea. Maybe I will start to think about doing that with my online earnings. Currently, they go to paying bills or having something extra from time to time, such as a special dinner or ice cream at our favorite place.

I like my new avatar much better than the last one
. I`m even getting to like my hair. I hope it will grow quicker now.
I have a timeshare and years ago we spent very little when we took one of our daughters and her children to Disney. I paid for an awesome apartment with everything, including a jacuzzi for 2, pool and you name it, not much more than $1000 a week. We saved even more by buying the kind of food the children liked and we even got food to make sandwichs to take to Disney. We only spent on cokes at the park.

The only thing we ever bought were soft drinks because thy get warm after a while and they are heavy. But I can assure you that our sandwichs were a lot better than anything that Disney could offer us (that was affordable). I wolud even roast chicken parts the day before and wrap them in aluminum foil to eat cold the next day. Yummy!!!

Thank you so much for the honor of best response.
I think it is a fantastic idea to get the food yourself rather than buying things at the amusement parks, especially since you can get food that not only will the children like but also will be healthier for them - it is an added bonus that it is also less expensive and you don't have to waste time trying to find food vendors that offer what everyone wants.
I remember when I was little my sister would take us on vacation. She didn't have much money, so we would go camping, which was fun and also very inexpensive. Then, we would take day trips to attractions near wherever we were camping. Most times, we would have the food already at the camp site (we usually went shopping for the week the night before we left), so we could make up sandwiches and snacks and take them to wherever we were going that day, and we wouldn't spend any extra money on food. It allowed us to go places that we normally would not be able to afford, and we always had a wonderful time regardless of the weather.

Well, speaking of my case, if I have to be honest, I do not give much importance to my avatar here on Mylot.
I put a photo taken two years ago on holiday and since then I have not ever changed.
This is also why, despite being past two years, I am almost always the same in appearance.
I have chosen from all those pictures, one that takes me to the front, so those who see me, they know exactly how I looked.
Maybe in some time, I could still change it with a newer, even if not definitely notice many differences.

I have changed in two years, because my hair is just growing back after it fell off due to chemo. But I like to place a new avatar here every time I go on vacations. It reminds me that it is in part thanks to mylot that I had fun. I don´t have money for vacations, but save all my online earnings for that. I usually can make it to where I want to go (I add whay I save in 3 piggybanks and some dollar prizes I get for using my credit card).

Right now I am using all of the money that I am making online to help to pay some of our household bills because of the fact that we've had a really tough year financially. However, in the future, it is my hope that I will be able to leave almost all of the money that I make online throughout the course of the year so that I will be able to do all of Christmas shopping at the end of the year without spending a lot of money from our checking account.

Welcome back marguicha! I hope you had an amazing time at your vacations! I have just reached my second payment here in mylot. My first payment was added to the money that I earn from doing online translations, and I used them to pay part of my insurance. It's actually a great extra and when everything is added to a nice amount, I feel so happy! Mylot is a slow but steady income, while other online jobs (like translations) aren't standard. You might work for a week and then do nothing for the next 3 weeks! Here, if you participate every day, you will earn for your effort.
I like your vacation plan, I might start saving the money for next year! My financials are getting worst and if I want to go on vacations I need to have a plan and follow it!

I wish I could get a translator job, but all of the sites that offer those jobs want me to buy something first.
I earn about $100 a month online, but I don`t earn much more than 1/10 of that at mylot.

Try OneHourTranslation. It needs time to get verified, I think they sent me an e-mail 2 months after my application where I had to upload every qualification that I had. I thought they had rejected me because I hadn't heard from them for so long! And until now, all my translations are reviewed and graded from other members so I need to maintain the high quality. It's free to join, you can try it. I just had to do a traslation of a small paragraph before or after becoming verified, I am not sure when.
1/10 of your income is a nice amount, it helps you to reach $100! If you were earning $90, you would think "I need 10 more to reach $100!". Mylot gives you that little extra that makes you feel different!
