    Pinecone: Would you do it for $2 a survey?

    I'm getting less too. I wonder as they get new people to do them for $2 each if they are phasing out those of us who get $5. Sometimes I don't think it's worth my time to do it for $5. I wouldn't do it for $2. I could spend the same amount of time working and make more than $5.

    Inexpensive ideas to clean a linoleum kitcken floor

    I use just a splash of Lysol to a gallon of water or a splash of Fabuloso - I like the lavender scented. Just depends what I have or what I feel like using that day. I like the smell of the Fabuloso better but my oldest DD loves the Lysol smell after I've cleaned the floors so if she is going...

    Costco fans, is it worth a 1/2 hour drive?

    I like Costco better than Sam's for the same reason I like Target better than Walmart. Cleaner, more organized, better lit, more pleasant atmosphere. If I were you I'd go there and go to the membership desk. Tell them you would like a guest pass, that you want to look around before you decide...

    Why do people associate budget with cheap or poor?

    I can understand that! That's why I said we *rarely* have a drink when eating out. We aren't wine drinkers but sometimes if eating Mexican food a margarita or a beer sounds good and on those occasions we will order a drink, but not very often. Don't know what we'd do if we were wine drinkers!

    Why do people associate budget with cheap or poor?

    We rarely buy alcoholic drinks when we go out for dinner. We usually drink water and figure if we want a drink we can have one when we get home at 1/4th the price.

    Anyone listen to Dave Ramsey yesterday?

    Focus and intensity. Dave says to focus all your attention and money on one thing at a time. First on getting an emergency fund set up, then on getting debts paid off, then on funding 401K. If you are putting money into 401K and chipping away at your debts but not really getting anywhere...

    Anyone listen to Dave Ramsey yesterday?

    I have heard him say many times that he has no choice what commercials they run during his program, that the individual radio stations decide that, so not to think that he endorses anything that is advertised during his program. I used to work with a girl who said she previously had worked in...

    Deodorants??

    I love Lady Speed Stick. I have used it for years. I like the one with the pink cap (floral scent) and the blue cap (baby powder scent). I have had people comment on the pleasant scent and wondering what it is. And this is when I wasn't wearing perfume so the only thing it could be is the...

    Frustrated with Angel Food Order

    I've looked at it too and haven't tried it because I am very picky about the meat I buy. I'm afraid I'd pick it up and find meat that was unappetizing to me or that I would hesitate to serve to my family. I don't do mystery meat.

    DirectTV, Dish or cable?

    We have Time Warner cable. Bill is about $148 a month but that includes cable with digital tier, sports tier and speed channel, internet and phone. Just got TiVO not really knowing if it would be better to go with that or to get the DVR from Time Warner. Still not sure we did the right...

    Offended by survey

    I'm not sure if it is the same. The deadline for the one I got was yesterday, the 22nd. And the pay was $5. And I didn't see any warning about graphic pictures or language at all. But I wonder if different survey companies might be researching for the same companies - so maybe the survey...

    Offended by survey

    I emailed the person who sends out the emails requesting that a survey be completed this morning and told her my thoughts about them asking me to ask my 17-year-old fill out this kind of survey when I was not advised ahead of time of the content so I could decide whether I wanted him to fill it...

    What do you keep your ac set at?

    Had it off until yesterday because it's been such a nice spring, pleasant temps for the most part. I work at home all day and I am fine turning on the attic fan, even if it is getting pretty warm. I love the heat! Yesterday the humidity rose and the temperature rose, though, and I turned...

    How much would you pay for a pair of running shoes?

    I always disagree with my husband about this. DS (17) always wants $80 to $100 shoes. DH tries to make him find a 30 or so dollar pair. Okay, $80 is a lot for a pair of shoes but there is something to be said for comfort and there is also something to be said for being 17 and wanting to wear...

    Offended by survey

    Occasionally a company I do surveys for will ask for a teen in the household to do a survey. They recent asked for a survey to be filled out by a 13 to 17-year-old male in your home. I have a 17-year-old son, so asked him to fill it out. He has filled out surveys before, the contents of which...

    buzz agent question for buzz agents

    I have been invited to join two campaigns, went as soon as got the email to sign up, and both were already full before I signed up. The first time my internet went down just as I was trying so I figured that was why. But the second one I got the email and went immediately to the site, and it...

    I Did It - I Quit My Job

    You will be fine. The second income is taxed at a higher rate. Plus as you say, you are paying for daycare. If you are like most two-income families, you pay a lot for fast foods/convenience foods because you don't have a lot of time to cook. You pay for lunches at work. You have to buy...
