If I'm late to work today, do you think "I was transferring money out of Prolific and paying it off my credit card" will be considered an acceptable justification 🤔?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

😂😂 worth a shot, surely?! You might be able to educate your boss on the joys of earning from surveys - maybe don’t mention *that* survey company though!South_coast said:If I'm late to work today, do you think "I was transferring money out of Prolific and paying it off my credit card" will be considered an acceptable justification 🤔?Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

LOL, I think my boss would just look at me as though I had gone slightly crazy 🤣! I'd probably accept it from my team, though - though I am such a softie that they get away with murder anyway 🙄!

Liking your 2025 target - get those cards gone and feel the freedom!
DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

I started this last night (well, I assume it was - same amount) and gave up before I got to the interesting bit.... just not in the mood for surveys. I didn't complete a PC one either - didn't have it in me to tell them for the hundredth time why I wouldn't buy X **** product for multiple environmental reasons (let alone that I don't have a use for it). Wish their selection process was more finely tuned.
