It has been brought to my attention that I may be "working too hard" for so called "free money". I just thought that I shed a little light on how much free money I have made this year versus how many hours Ive put in to get it.
Free Money 2007 Vs. Time Spent
Dividends Card - $614/ 0 hours - All cash back from daily spending
Citi (Gas Rebate) - $100/ 0.5 hours - time spent filling out rebate
Mbna Rewards - $120/ 0 hours - Cash back from spending
chase identity - $20/ 0.5 hours - Filled out rebate, then cancelled
chase rewards (starbucks) - $5/ 0.1 hours - filled out short survey
sprint new service -$150/ 0.5 hours - filling out rebates
Microsoft survey Amazon GC -$200/ 1 hour - completing 2 surveys
Grand Total YTD - $1209/ 3.1 hours - total time spent
Let it be known that this chart does not take into account the amount of time spent researching the said deals. That is hard to quantify since I put in about 1-2 hours of time online per day in general. I was curious to see how this stacked up against how much the average american spent online per day this year. According to census.gov, every American will tally 195 hours on the internet in 2007, which works out to a little more than 1/2 an hour per day. This is a measily figure, and I am proud to be one of those individuals working extra hard to bring that average up!
