Honest question, for people with lower goals do you have other income or just less bills? A lot of times if I don't routinely hit my high goal I feel like I may have some issues.
My husband's income carries the household, the extra stuff I do is my own "mad money" for the most part. If we want to go away for a weekend, or pay my daughters cheer bill ($$$$$$$), or like right now I'm saving my mturk money up for a new stove. Stuff that we COULD afford, but I hate to take away from the normal budget for if that makes sense?

Mturk is my second income. I have a full time job M-F in an office. But due to high bills (mostly teeth related ones) I've needed a second income for the last few years. My current goal is $500 per month, but I'm happy if I make $450. It used to be $200 but I wasn't making any progress on paying off teeth bills. Once teeth bills are paid off I'm sure I'll need mturk to help pay for the kid's college.

So what kinda earnings is everyone looking at today?
25.25 - Only notable because it's a fun number, and because I haven't spent much time in front of the computer.

I work full time so I have other income, and also usually only have time to turk between IT calls. So I usually aim for $5-10 a day.

Both? I split the household bills with my partner, and he pays most of the steady ones. I pay everything that fluctuates (including groceries) and my own personal bills out of my Turk money. I have a bare minimum ($600) to pay the bills I'm responsible for, and anything else goes to groceries, fun things with the kids, art supplies, flowers, etc. But I've discovered we have a ridiculously low cost of living, here, and I'm also pretty thrifty.

I tend to pay all of the bills and pitch in part of the rent...depending on how well that month goes.

Man, I would be like disappointed on the daily lol. Its very rare for me to hit that goal. On average I'm typically between the $10 and $25 range, and that's on a fairly good day. Usually I'm so worn out by the time I get home I rarely turk there. I'm sure if I had a better setup or could wake up early enough to catch the good stuff I'd be joining the $50+ club :)

Your rent is nearly our entire household expenses :ROFL:
That's kind of insane...but having 7 people tends to cause that.

I wonder where you live now lol.
