Keep going. I was on mturk three months before I joined here, and I surely could have done much better had I tried to learn from others right from the start. On mturk, very little is as it seems.

I'm both inspired and depressed when I see others' PE. I have been turking since the beginning of the year. I know that my problem is more mental than anything, while I need to treat this as a full-time job, I just don't get out of bed or get started early enough. I feel like I still suck.

Never feel pathetic about what you make off this platform. I know it's really hard not to compare yourself to others and what some make, but it really doesn't do you any good. We all have different motivations, different skill sets, or totally different circumstances. If it's helping you to stave off disaster, then that sounds to me like you're doing pretty great.

Besides, a year may seem like a long time, but mturk is a never-ending learning process, and we all learn at different paces. When my 1 year anniversary came up I think I was just hitting 10k approved, and I was still struggling to make $30-40 per day. It definitely took me quite a bit longer than many of my peers, but I still got to where I needed to be. I get what I need out of this and that's good enough for me.
This is really an interesting point. People who are actively doing mturk come from a vast array of different circumstances in life, and some may be very good at some things and horrible at others. But it isn't always the same things. I kind of like it. I wouldn't want the whole world to be mturk, not at all. But I find that it offers a very interesting perspective on reality.

ill cry if he misses game 6
And I had been so happy seeing Draymond Green fuck up the last possession... I'm 100% convinced the Warriors made a deal with the devil at some point.

I felt the same about PE posts for a long time. I think really, only in the last year or so have I started to just not care. I have chronic depression issues that can be very crippling at times. I tend to go months at a time where I consider even getting out of bed and sitting down to work for a few hours to be a major victory. I know I'll never be one of those people that wakes up and just grinds stuff out for 6-8 hours and posts huge earnings on here every single day. But I write up my budgets every month, and I refine them each week based on what I've made so far. As long as I'm hitting the goals that I'm setting in my budgets, I just don't feel anymore that I should concern myself with what others are doing.

I rarely and I mean rarely post my earnings except for my shit ones because I feel those make people feel better about their bad PE days, I posted a really big day some months back and afterward I felt kinda shitty.

So, I sent my husband to take out the garbage. And for this he brings me a 4 week old kitten, maybe 3. So, now I am home with kitty formula and food, and likely a sleepless night.
awwww... i can't wait to move and get a cat.. it's gonna be my favorite child
