Stop Being Lazy

I was just on Cashcrates's forums going through some sob stories of how people need to make 2 more dollars or they won't reach the minimum $20 to cashout. I feel sorry for these people, because although it does take some work to start earning something on Cashcrate, it really is not that hard. $2? Honestly? Go find 20 cans in a trashcan and there ya go. Stop being a lazy teen (like I once was) and go put in some work and before you know it you will be making $2 every hour of every day for 30 days straight on Cashcrate.

I have recently been reading up on investing and how beneficial it is if you start at a young age. I am still only 17, so if I establish a strong investing IQ then I will be set financially for the rest of my life. One of my favorite quotes that I came across just yesterday was:

"Stop working for your money, instead have your money work for you."

This had a powerful impact on me and really speaks volumes to about 99% of Americans. They get an education, get a job, pay taxes and barely have any income left for themselves. So basically they are working 60+ hours a week to eat and live in their house. Sounds exhilarating. Live a little, take chances and it will pay off in the end. Having your money work for you is exactly what I am teaching you to do. If you haven't already read some of my previous posts on keywords and backlinks.

Cashcrate and other survey sites are a great way to start earning some extra money. I currently have a job at a pet store, but because I put in a couple extra hours on this blog and survey sites I am making an additional $500 a month. And just because many of you are young, doesn't mean it is hard to make money online as a teen. Just be smart, stop being lazy and use your brain to decide whether there is a good or bad oportunity in front of you.
