    Husband is AD Army, and they don't get paid much. Neither do I, seeing as how no one wants to hire a pregnant woman and I'm supporting both my sister and father. Saving up for a baby ain't cheap. And neither are bills.

    I originally wanted to get one particular bill down and out of my hair; but I got addicted to actually doing the work (which, quite honestly, doesn't feel like work a lot of the time). I have nearly enough to pay the original bill off, but I think I'm going to keep doing it and save up for other things that may come along, such as emergencies, house repairs, etc.

    I just started, because CrowdSource has their top tier thing going, but I'm having so many problems with it, I may just not be turking after I get paid.

    I am a year-and-a-half out of retirement, pension will end next year, so need to build up solid base of income here, which is totally doable with some elbow grease and concentration. Besides, I love the variability AND my neck is a lot cooler without some yahoo breathing down it! :)

    I'm a college student and mother. My husband works for little pay because the job market in my area is DREADFUL right now. I can't work because we do not have a babysitter and cannot afford one. Working on MTurk has provided us with some extra cash and I can actually feel like I am contributing. Right now I am saving up for Christmas so we do not have to rely on his checks too heavily for gifts (and after Christmas I will be saving up for new glasses). Working on MTurk has really made a huge difference. So glad I found it.

    I am a homemaker with two kids. Mturk helps me to get some money so that I can buy my own gifts for my kids and my husband on their birthdays. Thats it. Something for me also sometimes.
