What are your earnings going towards? /---------------------------------------/ ./--Joey's Reply-----/... I remember reading in a few discussions what fellow mylotters are planning or using there earnings towards, this made me think and i thought i'd ask you. I'm very interested to seeing what you guys plan to put yours towards. Fancy sharing your goals? For myself i plan to buy my son the biggest soft you i can find. My grandfather bought myself a massive soft toy as a kid, it's one of my favourite things and i'm not bothered to admit this. If i can find a massive roley moley toy then i know he'd love this as it's one of the children shows he always watches. Also i'd like to get my wife a nice surprise, i often don't buy myself things but others. I'd love to buy her something from jake, maybe a neckalace with locket so she can a picture of jake with her at all times. These are ideas but it shouldn't be to hard to reach. What about you? ~Joey

My earnings are going to a game called runescape's membership. It cost about 8 dollars for the membership version, and I have been posting like mad to try to get to that goal. After I get my membership on the game, though, I am going to try to find a good, beneficial site to donate some of my earnings to so I know I would be helping someone. I might find a benefactor or a charity and give some to them. I will also save a little bit more for my membership, also because it is on a month basis. I really hope I can make a difference in someone's life because of some of the donations that I will make to the charitys/benefactors.

Hey miningbeeble. I know someone else with my goal buddy. I haven't played runescape i've heard of it tho. I hope you can reach your goal soon buddy =) And your ideas after this is very cool. It's nice to see someone who's into giving to other people! i'll probably put the rest of what i earn to paying for my hosting or getting a couple of theme designs. Anyways kudos! Thanks for sharing. ~Joey (I had to rate yours +) =)

This past payment went for a pasta maker, hand crank, tha tI will use to condition polymer clay. I also purchased a set of bead making tools to ease my efforts at fabrication. I use the slay to make big bead ends for some hair stick blanks I got. Once I perfect my technique I will probably sell a few on Ebay or some other similar site.

My earnings from myLot will be going towards the expenses associated with my daughter going to college this coming August. There will be numerous items that she will need to have for her dorm room and of course the outlandish book charges. I plan on letting the earnings sit in paypal and earn a bit of interest and then withdraw it in August to get her ready for college.

I'm still waiting for my earnings to reach $100. I plan to use it for my youngest daughter's 7th birthday. Instead of giving her a party, she chose to stay in a five star hotel where we can celebrate her birthday intimately with just the family members.

I use my earnings to help pay my ebay fees. My earnings go into my paypal account, and ebay takes out my ebay fees from paypal. It works out for me. Good luck on getting what you want.

All my earnings go straight into my next bargain Ebay purchases! I am collecting the Bad Girls series and I currently have the first three series, so now that I got paid (yesterday) I am looking round the site to buy series 4.

My first mylot earnings was used to buy my little 2 year old daughter a bubble machine. She burnt out the first one. She really loves BUBBLES and I do too! But I can't really sit there for 3 hours and blow bubbles. I love it! Put in batteries, add bubbles, hit the on switch and watch her go crazy chasing bubbles.

I haven't really set a plan as to what I'm going to do. Usually I just save money unless I need to spend it. Just going to see if I can potentially make worthwhile money posting here.

i love spending half of my earnings here in mylot buying small stuffs for my family and my boyfriend. it's not much but i like seeing them smile whenever they receive those small gifts. half of it, i invest in an online thing. risky, but it's worth it. mylot has done a lot in my life. the little money i earn here is truly great. i also get to pay some of my bills through my earnings here.

Most likely I would use any made income, to buy books on ebay. They can be bought for cheap amounts.. so I dont need to make much, to be able to get a nice stack of books.

since i'm a newbie here. i don't really know how much i'm going to earn on a given time. but if ever i see something interesting on ebay and my earnings are enough. i might try to buy it just for the purpose of buying something from ebay since i haven't purchase from them. a received a lot of good referals to buy from ebay so that's on top of my list.

I am saving just to save. I want so many things that I have no idea what to save for. I suppose it will come in handy at the end of the month when all my bills are due. The last week I am always broke so I can use this to not be so broke that week. We will see I am new to this so I am not even sure how much I will be making.
