It is hard to earn $2 but very easy to spend them.

I need around $2 to reach my goal here. I could cheat and say that I did it if I add the money I got in the survey site.
But it is not fair. I have fun here and surveys are boring and longer than what they should take.
I spent today around $100 in groceries. So even I, with no maths skill, can understand how my budgeting goes.
Miss Luna eats a lot. And she accepts that I share her food with Claudia.
I do some frugal cooking, as my friend Coral ( @TheSojourner ) does. But I am also a hoarder so frugality does not work.

I know what you mean. I have been on Poshmark.com needing some windsuits and a bathroom scale. I love weekends as I can power work! Right now, I am going to attempt to reach $5.00 before bed. But then, I want to get on a writing side hustle. Not sure.

I have been here for over 10 years. I love this site. But it is not what you´d call an earning site.

@marguicha Often, I use the myLot monthly earnings to pay for the shipment of an item.

I always do frugal cooking, well most of the time. But budgeting is part of being a mom. Lol. I am a dollar and eleven cents away from where I want to be before the cut off at the end of the month. I think I can do it. Since we are staying home this weekend, or most of it.

There was a stage in my life when it looked that I might have other problems in life, but would not have money issues.
Yet then I have been having years of some or other issues.
I am trying to sort it out, but well, sometimes our expenses do breach our budget limits.

Life can be very harsh at times.
How are you managing things now?

My husband is a food hoarder too. The freezer, refrigerator and pantry are bursting at the seams.

I had a time of money problems when my husband was very ill. So I started to hoard. If I did not have a lot, I felt poor and worried for the future.

I don't make goals here unless I am really close to the next dollar mark. I was having a lot of internet issues last month which kept me from making that much, but this month has been better.

The surveys I take Are about as long as they say they are. I do pens that are 10 minutes or less. Yeah they are boring it j tend to earn more quicker that way. I do like being on here but it takes me loner to earn which is fine I’m in no rush.

@marguicha Good luck with that. I've been alone for 4 years now and still make enough for a full family. The upside is I have leftovers.

Its not easy to earn money online. Its not easy to save what we get here.
Personally I could not save money anymore. I tend to buy more also. but I'm trying to control myself now.
