Living within our means is the most simple thing to avoid financial stress. Simplify all your needs. No more wants to buy. Buy only the necessities in life.

ALso save even a little money, each time you were given your salary. That way, you will be able to get money from it when there really is a need to do so.

Meantime, if you have full time job, you can go to online earning sites like Literacybase.

I think earning more is the only way we can get rid of the financial stress. Earning more and keeping that money consistent is the way to go.

For me, the best thing is to have another peer come over the house. I did that to our daughter when she was still a kid.

We would ask the neighbor’s kid to come over the house. The kid would be there in the house with our kid the whole day. The helper would let the kid eat with our daughter and they really have fun playing.

In the evening it’s our turn to play with our daughter. 🙂

Yes, you are right, @Dina,the kids need another peer, if not, they might need the parent to stay along almost the whole day.
I have two kids, so they can play with and play around sometimes, but do need the guidance from the parents sometimes.

Some single kid can play and stay alone for hours, it’s good also for them to have “me” time, I think.

There is a lot more you can do. I would like to write an article on this myself. As we did not have a T.V as my kids were growing up I have a lot of experience! One thing I did was create a craft box with all sorts of things to make things with and paint and brushes and glue and junk. If it would work to make something, into the craft box it went. We had many happy afternoons getting that box out and once, my daughter and I used a huge cardboard box and made it into a play oven. That was an afternoon and then other afternoons “cooking” for the dolls.

Those are actually all the things I did when I was younger. I am a 90’s child so cellphones and computers were fairly a recent thing especially the Internet.

But my favorite things to do when I was a child was playing with my neighbor. Would would make up the weirdest games,camping in our back yard or just play finding Waldo.

Those were the times we’re we actually spent quality. time with people.

Now a days I see children with iPhones even and that is something I dont find right. I can’t say how to parent a child but let them be a child while they can. Once technology hits it will be impossible to get them off it.

Garlic is very good. I have never seen a single person complain about it. Garlic has been known over the ages that it cure diseases completely. Unlike consuming drugs all the time, most natural foods can cure lots of disease without any side effects

garlic is very essential if you want to cook tasty and healthy food, i used to hate it when i was child and i hate its smell and its like hell if the food the one i have to eat is with garlic i used to pick it up and throw it away, oh my Allah how much i used to hate it and now how much i like it, it really add so nice taste to the food, and if you crushed it then you will not be only happy to eat it you will be healthy too, garlic has not only adding taste to the food but also to your health its so vital its has lots of good antibiotic effect and its better than medicine, its protecting from many diseases and its without any bad effect on any of you health issues if you have any

Very well said. Yeah these things do help a lot, when i was new here, i confused a bit and almost were not able to post my blog for about 4 to 5 days. But now I am able to know some rules and this blog of yours will surely help me ans many other new bloggers and lb members here.
I don’t think and I never heard of anyone getting 22 cents for posting blog, but 15 Cents, but yes I haven’t tried posting a long 800 Words blog, i am blogging for about 330 to 400 words on an average and for comments, its sometimes difficult to comment for about 170 Words, so that it may earn 2 cents but still uts good and worth. Besides I am also still new here and learning with experience and will share my experience with You and other Literacy Base Members as well

OK Ceci. Somebody said you could earn more than 15 cents for a blog post which was an eye-opening and very helpful tip. But I did not know that the number of words in comments mattered. News to me!

But it really doesn’t matter to me. I make comments according to what I’m trying to communicate. It could be as little as 20 words, but I do my best not to make my comments 300 words. If I find myself making a comment or contributing to or starting a topic in a group/forum and suddenly realize that can be turned into a blog post, it gets turned into a blog post! That’s how it works for me.

What I’m trying to figure out is why my blog posts are being avoided? Nobody’s commenting. Are my posts that boring or are they too complicated to understand?? (O.o) I need to find the “magic post formula” to get folks to comment AND share. Whew! It’s a tough mission but I’m working on it! 🙂 😀

Those are great statistics about word count for comments. I wish there was word count for our blogs.

When it comes to the blogs i am not sure because i am new here and haven’t started blogging yet. I mainly put myself into commenting other blogs and surfing around to see how the site works.

I have, however, noticed the earnings due to length of comments also. I am usually a big commenter. If i comment on something then it is because i have something to say and i like to try and explain myself as much as i can.

I noticed the amounts due to length because i did make one or two comments a little smaller than most and saw the difference in the balance.

If what you say about the blogs are true about the 0.22 cents then i do believe that if you have a good idea for a blog and it is a bit long then you sould divide it into 2 blogs. I think it is a better choice, just like you said.

The blog is very informative. I’m a newbie on literacy base, I have found your blog very helpful. I have not yet written any blog, but with so much of information you have laid down Am sure I will be writing my first blog very soon.This has also encouraged me to make valuable comments.

Yes, I think most users concern about how we can redeem from the site, and when we will get paid too. This post will be helpful to many people, even for those who are considering to join.

I am glad to know that the minimum payout is still $10, at least for PayPal, which is my preferably payment processor. If the rule hasn’t changed since the time I joined, as long as we redeem by end of the month, then we will get paid on 10th next month.

I am glad you mentioned the server is slow for everyone as I thought it was just me! I hope they can sort that in time. For now I will just enjoy reading and posting seeing as I am new and the first payday is a long way off.

I just joined and still a baby on this website so far I like what I’ve found and hope to learn new things earn a bit of cash and make some new friends. Thanks for letting me know how people are paid thru this site and for letting me know it’s a bit slow. I love reading different blogs and adding my 2 cents as well.

Tahnks for the info about redemption dates. It was a thing i was wondering about when it comes to payment and you have explained it nicely.

When it comes to the server i have also found that it takes a little long to submit things but this isn’t a veyr big issue for me yet. Either way i hope they fix it. Everybody likes things uploading faster than slower.
