February's beermoney income report:

Swagbucks: $82.09
EarnHoney: $45
PrizeRebel: $5

Admittedly, I got lazy with running nCraves on PrizeRebel. But considering I didn't redeem anything in January, that's an improvement.

EarnHoney managed to tie December with most amount redeemed in a calendar, which is pretty impressive since A) it's not Christmas, and B) February is the shortest month. Must have been all the Valentine and President's Day commercials.

I did something a little different with this month's Swagbucks's calculations - the math above includes ALL the bonus SB I normally wouldn't be bothered to calculate in. The reason is because they had a Spin and Win promotion towards the end of February and I wasted all my spins on tiny amounts of SB and entries for sweepstakes I don't care about because RNG hates me. Those bonus SB from the Spin and Win (no matter how tiny) added up quickly and they don't count towards the Daily or Secondary Goal.

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth putting in time in writing out how I can pull in all this extra money every month. No, not these beermoney summaries - I mean more in terms of what I actually do each day. (Long story short, run EarnHoney on the living room PC from when I get home until I leave for work in the morning and 24/7 on weekends, run nCraves via PrizeRebel on my laptop, run the six Swagbucks apps and when they dry out, whatever other beermoney apps on my iPod Touch, and run the Swagbucks website my PC, until I decide whether or not it's worth getting a Windows tablet for Swagbucks.)

People think it's too much effort for too little pay, but it's their loss when they complain about not having the money to pay for whatever new hot shit comes out, or if they suffer a major financial setback. By my calculations I will hit $1000 lifetime earnings just on Swagbucks alone this month (if only by virtue of being the first beermoney site I joined) and had I not had to deal with unexpected financial situations and impulse Steam purchases I could probably have paid off one of my student loans by now.

Monthly Swagbucks totals based on the following formula:

Amount earned + $3 month bonus + $X.XX meter bonus

June 2016: $31.12 + $1.32 = $32.44 (this is due to me joining mid-June)
July 2016: $96.11 + $3.00 + $5.42 = $104.53
August 2016: $114.61 + $3.00 + $6.54 = $124.15
September 2016: $91.79 + $3.00 + $4.01 = $98.80
October 2016: $96.77 + $3.00 + $6.28 = $106.05
November 2016: $106.57 + $3.00 + $6.21 = $115.78
December 2016: $162.10 + $3.00 + $12.73 = $177.83
January 2017: $83.34 + $3.00 + $4.29 = $90.63
February 2017: $82.09 + $3.00 + $5.83 = 90.92

DISCLAIMER: Keep in mind with the exception of February 2017, these are bonuses where I can easily keep track of. There are recurring bonuses where I cannot keep track because they're not counted in the dailies and random to boot (I earn anywhere from 1-4 cents from the random dailies) and there are one-off bonuses, like incentives for referring people during a certain time period. These are not counted in the money earned above, so the actual amount I've earned may be slightly higher than stated here.
