Small Money is Boring Money
Loading ...Small money is boring money? Apparently so! What would you do with a dollar?
Use it towards bills. I lost my job today during budget cuts. I will use this old penny on the floor for bills.
or
I would buy a banana
a half pint of yougurt
and a pint of water
and have breakfast.
Gees, that’s boring and practical.
But delicious!
Well for what it’s worth *boom tish!* I reckon a dollar is pretty good earnings every day. It’s not much on the outside - and I (and probably you too) live in a wealthy country. A dollar used to buy me 100 lollies, my brother used to think he could get me to iron his shirts for fifty cents - it never worked. I have three brothers - and we used to setup ‘horror rooms’ where we’d make our room really dark and set traps for people to walk into. I got really scared one day and started crying. It wasn’t worth the 10cent charge.
Have you seen the almost hidden text in the footer of this site? “Over 1 billion people—1 in 6 people around the world—live in extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $1 a day.” For some - winning this could be double their income! Of course you might think that would be cool until you realise they’re probably not using the internet (or electricity). Would they have fresh running water? Maybe not.
Maybe you could give someone else a dollar or a few today?
The winner today is Melanie - who has lost her job and really even if she didn’t win, could use the dollar. Melanie - I hope you find a job soon. What kind of work are you in?

Factory work. Luckily for me a website just picked me up as their online marketing manager. Not a lot of money right now, but better than nothing. I’d been hoping for this, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to pay my bills this month. Thank you. I enjoy this site. Actually I use this forum where people want their forums to be “more popular” so they hire people to make posts and pay them 10 cents or so per post. I’ve noticed a lot of people on China were having a conversation that if they can afford the startup cost of getting a computer and then connecting it to the internet that they can make tons of money on the internet. I’m sure comparative to others around them that they do.
