It has helped me to pay for some extras that otherwise I wouldnt have . A few of them are not even "extras" but the copays on my perscriptions and things like that. I also have learned some interesting things when doing the Enron email hits LOL If anyone knows what happend to those hits type of hits from that requester could you let me know.
Is that the one by livestrong? I did something from them about nutrition and it was $0.10 per if I remember correctly.
My earnings from mechanical turk are just a little bit of income on the side that I use to buy some things from Amazon that I probably wouldn't invest in otherwise. Right now, I'm saving up for some headphones to replace my crappy iPod ones.
