As a young child, my mother often moved from place to place and city to city. I lived in over 3 cities throughout childhood and attended many schools throughout that time. As a result of moving so much I was rarely able to establish close connections and childhood friendships. However, through God’s grace he has blessed my adult life so that I see things differently and am able to handle stressful situations a lot easier. When I transitioned to college I believe I had less homesickness than others because I viewed my new college dorm as my home. I had no problems joining organizations and taking leadership positions in the organizations. After college, I moved back to my hometown to pursue an additional degree in business. I believe that the determination I had as a young child, made it possible for me to continue focusing on my goals. After graduate school, I relocated to another city to get a fresh start and new experiences. I have sense then relocated 2 additional times. I am sure my childhood contributes to my feelings of boredom and restlessness that creep up on my when I have been in a place too long. In my attempt to work on this restlessness, I made a goal to stick with a job and residence for 5 years. I found a job in a different city close to my own time, but bigger. I worked at a company for 5 years. During this time, I purchased two homes. One home is the beginning of my investment endeavors and the other is my primary place of living. I appreciate the lessons I have learned from my childhood, they have made me strong in spirit and I adapt well to change.

Hi; my name is Fran and I live in New England. I’m married, 55 years old, and we have a 20 year old daughter. I grew up in new york city in a middle class neighborhood. i have 2 younger sisters and believe me when i say the family was dysfunctional. my parents would argue quite often and it was a childhood with a lot of stress. I was a mediocre student; the only subject I constantly did well in (besides lunch) was english. My current family is much different than the family i grew up with. i have a real nice wife, my daughter is great although quite unpredictable sometimes. I have a very boring job and it doesn’t pay much. At 55 years old, i’m nervous that i’ll be laid off some day and at my age it will be hard to find another job, especially in the part of new england where i am located. it’s a pretty small town, there isn’t a major city near by and it would be quite hard to find something else. the money i make on M-Turk really comes in handy. Thanks and best wishes.

I am a 21 year old college male struggling with grades and perception. I have been battling ADHD and Trichotillomania for all of my life and I feel like it has gotten the best of me in all of my endeavors. Looking back at the last three years of my college experience, I feel that my grades do not accurately reflect the person I am or what I aspire to be. I think I am inadequate and incapable of achieving my dreams or supporting my significant other. I worry constantly about what each day will bring and hope that I can continue to put one foot in front of the other. I felt alienated and alone when coming to college, as the bulk of my friend group decided to stay at home and attend the community courses. I feel close to those around me but imagine that I should be more confident by now. I want to pursue my passions and dreams but I am hindered by my feelings, memories, and biology. I plan on embarking on a journey to Germany this summer to find myself. To find who I am and what I can be. I want to train myself to be more reliable and accepting of who I am. I want to return a different person and not relapse into my old faults. I need to do this for those I love and so that I can learn to love myself. I cannot change here.

Day of my wedding

My wedding was on Oct 21 2013. I woke that morning at my apartment and felt great and excited to be getting married. I hung around my apartment to about 1:00pm and then went to pick up my tux. After I got my tux I went to the hotel where we were having the wedding. It is a beautiful old hotel that was designed like a mission with Spanish influence. When I got to the hotel I went up to our suite and met up with my groomsman. We all got dressed together and had a couple of drinks. Then we took a few pictures with the photographer and headed down to the chapel. I was a little nervous but all the butterflies went away when I saw my beautiful wife walking down the aisle. She looked amazing and she just blew me away. The ceremony went smoothly and after that we took some more pictures throughout the hotel. After pictures we headed down to the reception hall and did our grand entrance. Next up was the best man and maid of honor speeches, the speeches were heartfelt and everyone loved them. We did a dollar dance as well and collect a bunch of money to use on the honeymoon. After we did the money dance we cut the cake. The cake was a beautiful ivory three tier cake with red velvet filling. When we were done with the cake we dance for hours at the reception. When only had the reception room till 12:00am so after that we headed to the bar and spent time with our family and friends. The wedding was amazing overall and I couldn’t be happier.

At the end of last month, after scaling Mount Everest I came across a mountain lion and we had an epic battle. As a result I snapped my ACL in my knee and am homebound. Okay so maybe I exaggerated a little bit, I didn’t exactly scale a mountain, just a few steps up to my house and the mountain lion was more of a feral cat that took a swipe at my calf. Anyway, I slipped, fell, snapped my ACL and now Im stuck sitting around my house, bored, until I can walk again. I figured if I can’t do anything overly productive and all I’m going to do is watch Netflix, I might as well find a way to contribute at least something. I discovered Mechanical Turk and began to do Hits and surveys while watching Netflix (of course, appropriately pausing when a survey asks for my full attention!) and I’ve been making around fifteen bucks a day. Not bad for a gimp! Its not going to make me rich and its not glamorous but if you got nothing better to do with your days for whatever reason and you need to make a few extra bucks, this is a good way to do it. No hassle of job hunting or constant Internet scams. I request a deposit into my bank account and a few days later, voila, money! Thanks MTurk, you’re a pal!

Well I have been doing the Mechanical Turk program for about a month now. I am very pleased with the program and have nothing bad to say about it. It is a very easy way to make money from your house in your free time. There is a variety of different tasks that you can do so there is work available for everybody. Like I said I have been doing it for a month now and have made around $135 and it’s not like I do it all day long. To me the best part about the Mechanical Turk program is that you can spend your money online at Amazon.com without a credit card. My most memerable moment on Mechanical Turk is when I was able to buy my son a acoustic guitar with the money I made. He had been asking for one for months. I could'nt seem to save enough money to buy him one. Bills and the cost of living was sucking up my whole paycheck. So I set my mind to makeing enough money on Mechanical Turk to get him his guitar. Well I did it and it did'nt take nearly as long as I thought it would. So I ordered it and when it came the joy in my sons face was beyond words. He was so happy and suprised. This made me feel great to, even though I have to hear it all the time when I am trying to watch the TV. Right now I am trying to save up enough money to buy a Android tablet off of Amazon.com. I was expecting it to take forever to get enough money to buy it. I am actually getting there very fast. I can’t wait to get it. I have to say that doing the surveys on Mechanical Turk can actually be quite fun. Some of them make you think and othere are just cool. So if there is something that you want to buy, but don’t seem to be able to save the money, Mechanical Turk is the way to go. The bonus system is a great addition to the site. It is enjoyable and gets you a little extra cash. Best of all it is relaxing and you can work at your own pace, that is my favorate part.

My husband got a cute Pit Bull puppy for his 65th birthday. The first night he made her a bed on the floor by our bed. We went to bed. After a few minutes, the puppy begn to whine. My husband reached down and petted her, but she still whined. Then my husband picked her up and sat her on the bed. The puppy climbed on his chest nd went to sleep. I told him he was making a mistake. He said it was ok because the puppy was happy. When she weighed twenty pounds, sleeping on his chest wasn’t a problem. However, she grew. Now that she weights ninety pounds, he doesn’t want her sleeping on his chest. I wonder why. When the puppy was small, she would pull hard on the leash when we took her for a walk. I told my husband that we had to break her of that habit before she got big. When we walked her, if she pulled hard, we would stop. Once the leash went slack, we would start walking again. She was a smart puppy and learned quickly. Everythig went fine for almost year. When she weighed about eighty pounds, my husband took her for a walk aftre an ice storm. Everything was covered with ice. As they headed down the hill, my husband slipped and fell. The pup didn’t feel any tension on the leash, so, she took off. Appearantly, a 170 pound body sliding downhill on ice doesn’t offer much resistance because the pup ran over 30 yards, dragging my husband, befofre he got her stopped. Once she realized that he was down, she jumped on his chest and began to lick his face!

I started doing Mturk a couple of years ago. I was making jack shit and ended up with a bunch of rejections so I gave up for a while. I came back every so often but the few pennies I was making was not worth it. Fast forward to December 2010 and I am very pregnant with two kids already, my husband had lost his job and we were struggling. I logged on to MTurk again in hope of…well something. This time I did research and found the best ways to make money. I make on average $3.00 a day/30.00 a week now. I was able to have gas money and buy things for the baby, who is due any day now. I am really glad I came back to Mturk.

My Mturk story One of my office collegaues has been working in Mturk for the past 18 months and has been earning considerably. Since a good friend of mine he asked me to join this and have earned. I am also in seriour debit that time. I started looking for used computer. Suddenly my blood brother heard this from my mother and contacted me. He said that he is going to replace his 1.5 years old computers cpu spares. He then bought a new cpu cabinet and put his old spares and gave to a mechanic who is a friend of him and said it would be ready within a couple of days. I started to give internet connection which would take a week to ten days. I bought all the other spares except cpu. But unfortunately all the other things got ready except the cpu which took a month to come. That the was not the older one. The mechanic has said that the older one cannot be used and has to be replaced with a new one. Finally i got the computer after 45 days of strain. Now do you think my computer was a used one? I would have bought a new one which would take only 24 hours to get me delivered instead of 45 days. I lost a lot due to that.

Up until about eighteen months ago I was a successful executive at a Fortune 500 corporation. I had never had to worry about job security or money before even as a single head of household. Then came the recession of December 2007 and I lost my position to a corporate restructure. I found myself, a single mortgage holder with no income other than unemployment insurance. I continued to be on the computer for as many as hours as i was when employed. After spending hours online job hunting I would need a break and play some games to relax. Then I discovered MTurk quite by accident. I was reluctant at first as online schemes are in abundance but I quickly had my fears put to rest once the initial payment was successfully transferred into my bank account. Since that time I have earned in excess of five hundred dollars doing HITS which has helped pay some bills. I enjoy the surveys most of all as they seem to pay the best and provide some fun coupled with challenges. This is also true of the rewrites and editing HITS. Quite honestly, once I am employed again I will most definitely continue to work on these HITS. It’s by no means a way to get rich. It’s simply a relaxing yet productive use of time that will provide extra cash for retirement savings or a personal treat now and then. I highly recommend it as a way to pass the time while earning cash!
