Survey's Really Do Payoff!

Yesterday I got my third check in two weeks from various survey groups and today I deposited all three for a total of $19! Not much in the grand scheme of things but it will certainly help my "fun" budget. Mike and I have devised a budget that helps us save for things we will need really soon (like a new used car) while allowing ourselves each $50 of "fun money" each month. Fun money is used whenever we go to the movies, bowling, buy/rent movies, decide to eat lunch out while at work, buy clothing that's not needed, etc. It goes away pretty fast which is why we've taken to doing surveys to help bolster our individual budgets (it also helped tremendously this Christmas). It's not the quickest way or the most efficient way to make an extra buck; but it lets us earn money on our own terms without getting a second job. Some of the survey money I earned this month represent surveys I've been taking for the last six months. I'm hoping the momentum will continue and the checks will keep rolling in. We'll just have to see...
