I use to waste time for TV. Now I watch it and I take surveys on my laptop. Make easy $200 every month which pays my cable bill. I wasn't making much at the beginning because of sweepstake rewards that many of them offer (waste of time), but since I found surveyjet it all took off for me. Now I enjoy TV and I make some...more

Pamela, look up surveyjet, that's how I sturted. I wasn't making much until I found them. Maybe I found good one here and there but it all really started thanks to surveyjet. If you follow their advice you'll be on your way in no time.

Don't buy new until the old is completely useless. Look for specials in your grocery ad. Plan your meals and use coupons for your groceries (don't limit yourself to paper ads, use online saving clubs like ever save, saving star, where the hot deals are, couponsuzy and such) Use your TV time to earn extra income wit...more

Kathy, it wasn't easy I must say. Many of them are just waste of time. It took me a while to figure them out. One place called surveyjet made all the difference. I think they are still up since I get a newsletter once a month. Look them up, it's a good place to start, and you don't have to pay anything (many places ask...more

I'm glad they were able to do this. My family on the other hand is already financially pushed against the wall, we can't do anymore downgrades or cutbacks. We did everything we could to eliminate wasteful spending. I personally take any extra job I can get my hands on, mostly babysitting and cleaning, I even take surve...more

Some of these are very good advices. From my perspective I would add something extra. Few years ago I found great way to productively utilize my free time. I am a stay home mom and my kids can safely play by themselves now (under supervision of course) while I enjoy my favorite TV shows ...with one little difference. N...more

No matter how much we make we must budget. My household use to make 100K and we were wasting it. To many outings and steak dinners, premium cable, new cars every 4 years etc. We had no kids back then. Now we have one child and I had to stay home to take care of it (please don’t suggest I could hire baby sitter, we didn...more

Hi Kathy, I like Survey Spot and Synovate because they send out free stuff to test. If comes to cash I am signed with over 30 sites. To see what fits you and what you may like the best look up free review site that I used years ago called surveyjet (I think they are still up since I get a newsletter once a month). They...more

I don't know about this opening of multiple checking accounts to get a few dollars. It takes time to open an account, and how many account are we really talking about here? If someone opens a credit card these days and gets $300 worth of cash, thay must have a stellar credit score. Usually people with lots of money hav...more
