Yesterday I figured out the exact figures we need for our trip. Our goal is now $3,085 by May 22nd. Today I sat down trying to figure out where I might have money sitting around that I forgot about and it dawned on me….
Before I started the blog (and for 4 months after I started it), I worked for ChaCha. When I started the pay was great! I could easily make $50 in about 6 hours. Then the pay went down, down, down. Now it’s $20 in 6 hours (if you are lucky!). So I am thankful I no longer work for them, but I forgot to cash out my last paycheck! They owed me $77! Found Money!!
$77 added to the Disney Fund. $2562.74 saved since June 1st!
You can see all the previous deposits here.
Just chactching up on your trip, savigns etc. I worked for ChaCha and recruited people and NEVER got paid. I actually lost my computer to a virus and lost the program I had to download and have never found a way to get back to where I need to be to get paid. Does anyone have an email or link that would get me to someone who would actually respond to my inquiry about getting paid?
you can email me [email protected]
Will you have saved a lot by not eating out this month? If you don’t normally eat out a lot, it may not help much but if you do normally eat out often, it may help a bunch!
Ha, I just started working for them and if you make $20 in 6 hours, you must be cranking out answers! Its almost impossible!!! I average 200 questions an hour and earn no where near that in 6 hours!
Shelby,
Are you a guide or an Expediter? It sounds like you are an Expediter. As a guide I started off at 20c a question, when I quit it was 10c a question.
I started ChaCha at one point….but then they went downhill FAST, and I got really upset with them. However, I have money coming from them too! :)
I was so bummed because it was a great job….. at first.
Yay for found money!
Try just cutting back on a few things for a couple months…. If your electric bill is normally $150 a month try cutting back and reducing the bill for the next couple months by $50. You still budget for the $150 but your bill comes in at $100 take the other $50 and deposit it. We had to change our shower heads we measured how much was coming out..5 gallons in less than 1 minute we changed them to the 1.5gpm shower head and cut our water bill in half every month! We have figured out lots of ways to cut our expenses since moving south and me being out work! hope my idea helps!
Good luck reaching your goal. You have me motivated as well. Using rebates to save up for vacation also.
