Just wondering what everyone is Turking for. Is it to make a living, pay some bills, fun money or supplemental income? I'll start first. I am very fortunate/blessed so I mainly Turk for my daughters. They like going to Six Flags, pool and the mall to walk around and have a cookie and a slushy. I also Turk to buy gifts for my husband so that I don't have to use his money to buy his gifts. Oh, and gas money, I do a lot of volunteer work during the day and gas prices are outrages. So, what are you Turking for?
To afford my overgrowing greed for gaming and other activities that my parents wont pay for anymore,cus i got 2.4 gpa in my first semester in college lol
This is my main source of income. So, it's for everything. (Grabs cyberguitar) Or, in the immortal words of Spinal Tap... "You know what I need. You know what I want. You know what I need, or maybe you don't. Do I really have to come right out and tell you everything? Gimme some money..." Or the Beatles come to mind... "The say the best things in life are free, but that's not nearly enough for me. Just give me money. (That's what I want)..." Or maybe Pink Floyd...hey, wait! Where's everyone going?
100% of the monthly pet food. I roll a certain amount over into Amazon GC's, then buy dog and cat food in bulk combining them with the $25 super saving free shipping, plus the 'buy together and save' promos. Also I buy bulk nonperishable grocery items like coffee, tea, flour, yeast, oatmeal, cereal, vitamins, paper towels, toilet paper... anything I can find in bulk that offers the free shipping. We live pretty far out in the country, so going to the grocery store or WalMart is a huge distance and very expensive gas wise. I try to stock up using GC's as much as possible to minimize running out, as well as reduce our regular monthly grocery bill.
I only wish Amazon would allow us to transfer the money directly to a bank with at par exchange rates and without any processing fees. Would save me the embarrassment of asking my dad for my monthly expense. Seesh.
I turk to save up for buying gifts (something I rarely can afford on my budget) for friends and family, and for frivolous items for myself. I may also use it to pay for netflix and/or other online premium services that I can't see spending money on most of the time.
Being unemployed I have a lot of time and no money, so Mturk is a way to get some stuff I wish I had but can't afford, even if it's hard to find stuff that ship to my country, and when I do find them they are overpriced, it's still worth it I say.
