No but we should be we may reevaluate it again though. We have to get two rooms as it is so it may be good so we can just get suites or something.
We've looked at it, but its hard to commit to a $20,000 "room" when the week we go costs us around 1,800 for the week at the Boardwalk. And every other year my husband has a conference there so we get the room for $199 a night at the Boardwalk. So its hard to justify spending that much money when we can take 10 trips for the same amount...if that makes sense haha

They sell a lot of them and I always wonder what these people do for a living. haha Anyways you can rent from an owner so that's the route we may take. We got free dining this time so that helps with the cost of this trip.

Just $4 more to go to hit your minimum goal :)
Put some band-aids on and get to it
I'm always relieved to at least hit the $25 mark. it's not all that difficult if you just spend 2-3 hrs dedicated everyday (plus zoltars)

my philosophy on turking is this.....

$25 everyday for an entire month is $750

throw in great days here and there and you're easily over $1000

grind everyday and push yourself to anywhere from $50-80 a day and the monthly total only rises

i try not to look at each day as a "must hit certain goal" but at the month as a whole

i'll keep the $25 a day streak as long as possible, though. as long as mTurk is up... this shouldn't be too much of a problem
unless it's the weekend and there's absolutely nothing up for the duration

i'm going on a spill, but i've had several cups of coffee this morning/afternoon so far

I don't really look at my monthly numbers. I just focus on hitting $300 a week.

New neighbors are moving in upstairs...i haven't seen them yet. I only hope that they are relatively quiet, they aren't drug addicts and they aren't young idiots.

The apartment upstairs was empty for the last 3 months....it was nice :(

EXACTLY!!! We say the same thing haha - This is the first time we are doing the dining plan since before this the twins ate for free. (at most places) its really not the food or the hotels that cost a ton, its the damn tickets...its almost $2,200 for us now.

It's good if I get $25 a day because of outside work so I keep my goals low. I had a few over $50 days this week so it's been much better for me than the past few weeks have been.
