Although “extra” is a fantasy right now
I’ve been turking now for about 6 weeks with no real goal in mind except to make a few extra dollars – although “extra” is a fantasy right now. I need every dollar I can get my hands on since I, like many others, am laid off from corporate America. I have since set a goal. My nephew is getting married in Las Vegas in December and I want to be there. I need to make enough to cover the airfare and the room. I love turking! I approach it as a job, getting up in the morning, making coffee, and then sitting down for a few hours of turking. Then I take a break, look for a job or do chores, then back at the turking. I also turk when I can’t sleep or when I’m bored. I find that it allows me to use my brain for something other than complaining about the state of our economy. I have resigned myself that the “good old days” are just that – old. My life has changed dramatically from a monetary standpoint but has gotten better from a stress level standpoint. Migraines are all but gone, I’ve almost eliminated two of the three medicines I was taking daily and I am able to find the time to enjoy life. Definitely different than the life I was used to. The very best thing of all is the time I am able to spend with my family, especially my mom and my son. We have a great relationship and I am thankful for every day we share.
