a 9-5 job is more of a necesssity than a routine for many without which they will not be able to put food on the table. i wonder how many my lotters dont have a fulltime job yet can still easily make ends meet not having to worry about money,coz either they are married to a good provider or their environment makes it easy for them not to worry too much, or they make enough working at home , i for one have a savings to draw from and a little here and there from the online writng gigs i find that helps pay the bills.

9-5 is an amazing routine and just fine work.. i were not that lucky.. i had work as a sales assistance at a retail shop. we worked like 12hours.. deduct resting for 2 hours...10 hours...i was exhausted.. my family should be meeting the poverty line in my country. they don receive good education. online writing gigs does help pay some bill such as broadband fee and my electricity.

I have a day job because I need it, even though right now I live with my parents. I cover my own expenses, my insurance and I pay my bills and I have to pay a student loan every month which is equal to a rent, if I had one! My online job pays for the extra expenses, the shopping most of the times and the gifts. All my Christmas and birthday gifts for friends & family are bought from my online work.

The need for money is the primary reason for me to be working. The other reason is to stay active to be healthy, physically and mentally.

In actual fact, I like a full time job because it provides
security financially. However, in my personal opinion if one
can venture into business, the right business - one will be
rich and achieve financial freedom. Since I am retired, I will
try to earn from online sites such as myLot here. If I can reach
USD10, then this will be my first paycheck from myLot.

Honestly, I'm unemployed, I tried to applied for a job but unfortunately I failed. LOL. As of now, maybe i'm not thinking about working because i know that there is someone who is supporting us financially. But eventually i know that it will soon stop. So I might try to apply for a job now. hahaha.. I miss working 8-5. But i choose to stop working because i have to take care of my kid.

I need a 9 to 5 job to survive because right now I am the bread winner
in the family. My husband just retired beginning of this year and my son
still schooling. I have an elderly mum who also stays with me. We have to
pay the monthly expenses whether we like it or not such as water & electricity
bill, gas, phone and internet bills. I have just started to work beginning of
this week, and truly hope I will last here so at least I have a fixed income,
a stable income to cover all the utilities bills. I am also here a myLot to
learn more and at the same time to earn extra. Thank you myLot for being here
for all of us who need the extra income!

Yep, we all need a stable income so that we can pay the bills. I just quit my job and am looking for another one because my previous one has a very low pay if I consider all the bills I'm paying. Plus, my coworkers suck, including my boss. There's definitely discrimination there and that's another reason why I didn't continue working for the company.
