I have been shopping for almost 2 years & have been recently thinking about how much easier my life would have been had I discovered Mystery Shopping years earlier.
I had always been aware of MS but thought it was a scam until one day I was reading a financial blog where the writer had been a shopper himself and he explained the process. I immediately applied to several companies and began shopping.
When I was younger & making minimum wage, it was very difficult to make ends meet. I rarely ate out or did anything extra because I was trying to save every penny to buy a house. Little expenses add up (a $5.00 fast food meal here, a $2.00 coffee there - I tried not to waste money on things like that)
Thankfully, with age, my financial situation has improved. But even now I appreciate the extras that I am able to have with this job. There are no free meals - it does take time to do reports, etc. But I would gladly have traded that back in the day for even a fast food meal which I would not have bought for myself.
I just wish I had known about MS earlier and then I could have invested some of the money that I spent on food, oil changes, gifts, clothing, etc. into more profitable things. I probably could have been retired by now. O.o
