Survey Saturdays

I have come to love Lazy Saturdays, and learned to use this time to make some extra money.  The TV is set to College Football, my husband is focused on the game, the litter is focused on watching the chipmunks and squirrels run around the backyard, and I have time to work on some of my survey sites, without feeling like there is something else I should be doing.

During the week I try to limit my survey taking time so that I can still get some of my to-do list completed, but the weekend is  great time to play catch up on these sites!  I have found that during 1 quarter of a football game I can go through my list of survey sites and earn between $5.00 - $10.00.  It doesn't seem like a lot, but it all adds up in the end! 

My 2011 goal was to earn an extra $1000.00, however I took quite a few breaks throughout the year where I just got overwhelmed with too many sites (many of which were not right for my situation), took a few vacations and just couldn't get back into the swing of every day life, and had some family emergencies that required all of my attention until everything got into a routine.  As of September 30th I was only at $650.00, but that was $650.00 of "free" money for my and my litter to spend, or save however we saw fit. 

As of October 1, 2011 I decided that I would like to make my hobby of survey taking work for my litter.  As we move towards the new year I am planning out how I would like to make the most of my time, and learning with survey, product testing,  and point-earning websites are the best for me and the time that I have to spend.  I am deciding what a realistic, yet challenging, goal will be for me in 2012.  I am also planning to use this money to purchase something that is extra special for my family (though I am not quite sure what it will be yet) so that I have more motivation then just earning $5.00 here, or $20.00 there. 

 I will keep you updated on what I determine as my monetary goal, as well as what the money will be used towards!

Looking for a quick, easy way to make some extra money?  Check out YouData. It is not a huge money maker, but the pennies add up with time, and it is always nice to see a few extra cents get added into the budget, for something that you normally do on a daily basis...look at ads and watch commercials! Here is a copy of my referral email if you would like to join under my account (which I would be grateful for), or you can always visit the site on your own to sign up! I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid fo...

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town.  We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before.  It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me.  We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed.  What a way to walk into a task like this.   I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality.  It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it!  It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier.  We have ha...

Ready for Autumn?!

When school starts, that means it's time for the routines to set in, new schedules and activities to begin, and best of all....the weather to cool off and Fall Fun can Begin! I love jeans, sweatshirts, boots, bonfires, apple cider, pumpkin patches, even football.  Give me anything and everything fall!  However, this heat wave does not pair well with warm doughnuts and apple cider - it just makes for bees and overheating.  The pumpkin patches aren't as fun because you don't have on jeans and boots and crisp weather to make it more fun.  The barns stink from the heat when you are trying to feed the cows and enjoy the animals around the farm. This weekend we are going to make our Fall Bucket List and wish for a little chill in a the air so we can enjoy this beautiful season of life we are given.   We will continue to make new goals, improve on our good habits, and find new ways to love each other to the fullest.
