ambulanceblues Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 How many millionaires are sitting in front of their computers filling out a survey worth maybe 50 cents? Ridiculous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neminem Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Yeah, I love those ones; also, especially, the ones that screen you out for not being a CEO. Who do they think they're going to get? (Who they're actually going to get: 100% people willing to lie on surveys.) To be fair - I will admit fully, I got into this hobby not because I need the extra money now, but because my goal is to retire as early as I can, and every extra bit of money is a little bit more money going towards that goal. Once I do eventually have enough money to retire (which will be no time even remotely soon, but still, earlier than 65, hopefully), you bet I'll keep doing this stuff. So eventually, I might be able to truthfully say that yes, I do have a million bucks and am taking this survey anyway. No time remotely soon, though. (This is why I think the CEO-level questions are even dumber, cause someone might have a million bucks and be doing this to supplement their retirement savings after they're retired, but definitely, what CEO is going to even have time, let alone desire to take a survey like that, when they're probably making several hundred k a year?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgro Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 You need to do more surveys to get that cash flow up to speed. Then you can take that survey!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfree Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 What would happen and you lied - like I am a CEO and I am a millionaire - what is that survey asking?just curious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neminem Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I actually did get one survey about yachting once a couple years ago, because apparently my income was sufficient for them to think I was the right demographic (note: I am absolutely not the right demographic). I told them I was totally not interested in anything they were talking about, but they didn't screen me out, anyway. That was pretty entertaining. That is a pretty good point - I do wonder what sort of surveys they are targeting towards hypothetical survey-taking millionaire CEOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penangel Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 10 hours ago, footfree said: What would happen and you lied - like I am a CEO and I am a millionaire - what is that survey asking?just curious I suspect that that might be one of those questions to catch distruthful answers... because I assume they surely know that a millionaire CEO isn't sitting there doing a 20 minute survey for ten cents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footfree Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Ya if I won the lottery I would give up surveys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neminem Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 If I won a big lottery, like several million, yeah duh I'd stop doing this, what would be the point? I'd be set. On the other hand, if I won exactly 1m, I could and likely would retire right then, but 1m isn't really as much as it seems. I mean, yes, it's a huge amount of money, enough to retire on if you do it right, regardless of your age, but only if you do it right - it isn't enough to throw money around right and left, not if you want to be able to retire indefinitely. Whether I got that much from the lottery, or far more likely, from carefully saving and investing over a period of multiple decades, with a million bucks, I would absolutely continue to subsidize my income from investments with supplementary income from beermoney activities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
