I want to get my wife the CD she has been looking for

In the town where I live we have been hit hard by the recession. A lot of jobs have been taken away including mine. I want to get my wife the CD she has been looking for but unfortunately no store around here has it. What I have been trying to do is to earn enough money here on Mechanical Turk to but it for her from Amazon. I know it will take a while to do but in the end to see the look on her face it will all be worth it. My experience here so far has been very positive I am earning a good relationship with a couple of employers and starting to get ready to earn some bonuses. My qualifications are also growing quickly so I am opening up the door to more and more opportunities which will allow me to but this CD faster. If this proves successful for me I could look at continuing to do this to but more gifts for my relatives until I can get a steady job again when my schooling is done and I have a brand new career.
