As far as I know you can earn up to a certain amount - you cannot exceed a certain percentage of the
salary you were making when you took your disability. I do not think it is uncommon to work as you could certainly not make it on disability alone.
Oh, I think I earn my keep!
I have worked a full-time plus a part-time job for the last 15 years. I would say I most definitely "earn my keep".
Listen, if you don't want to hear us "whining", stay off the boards, why don't you??

Does anyone else earn extra money.....
I transcribe 200+ pages per month at $5.00 a page for a local hospital and write resumes as well. The resumes pay better and have over 7000 in my repertoire, however, my first love is MT.
I make 7.5 CPL and earn over $4K monthly
Maybe to you that's not a decent wage, or maybe you're not as fast. I don't know. But this IS production-based work. So type more and earn more. I think I clear about 14,000 lines in a 40-hour work week and I bring TAKE HOME about $4K a month. To ME that's good money. Maybe I'm stupid. I know people that earn much more (are much faster than I) at 7.5 CPL. Call me dumb, but I think that's good take home.

What kind of retirement tells you how much you can earn?
I will start drawing from a pension plan this April - I have absolutely nothing saying I can or cannot make X amount of dollars a month. How did you get a retirement that tells you what you can make? This sounds strange to me.
Why only young mothers who want to earn extra?
Why this statement? What about us older ones? I just do not get that statement because I would think experience counts a lot in this job.
Does anyone else earn extra money at home doing something along with MT work?
I need some ideas. Fall is coming and I will have some extra time and getting burned out on MT.
Yes because i will be spending money i don't have and won't earn anything with work decreasing

right, taxes are paid in the state where you earn 'em...
since you work at home, you earned your wages in your state and pay them to your state.
It's not a spambot, it is a person who has been posting to earn money, a program
on ForuMatrix where posters could earn money by posting, however, this person has taken the program out of context and not only will not be compensated, but the posts will be removed. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
Yeah, I earn 50k a year and I just bought a house for a buck!
Oh and I just got 25% of 28 million from a prince in Zimbabwe!

pay amount
I work for them and have for years now. What they do is basically pay how they are paid so we cannot blame them. Basically, the client takes 1/2 of the total lines for the month and pays it on the 15th of the next month and the other half on the next paycheck and so on. I have always been paid my full amount with no problems. To figure out pay, go into the transcription program and look up your lines for the month and divide them in half...very simple really. Again, they have always paid correctly and I have been with them 4.5 years now.
for me it would be the same amount of...
of Keystrokes as I use yo and then the spacebar, which would still be 3 keystrokes. From typing, it is just natural for me to hit the spacebar versus using the ";". Is this what you mean?
amount of RAM
Is there a way to tell if low RAM is slowing things down or if it is just the platform? I have various problems (aside from several-second delays with certain things) that I think may be due to lack of RAM.
I use a lot of online and computer resources, so I probably need a lot of RAM.
Any way to tell? 
wow! do you know if it was a significant amount?
And what would that amount to American?

If I could have made even the same amount
someone who lives near me, an ex-MQ'er, who went to work there. She would never come back. We worked on the same account, which MQ is losing, expected to go live there before the end of the year. I wanted to stay with my account, of 7 years, had normals up the wazoo! 
Can you rent a car for about the same amount? sm
That way you could come and go as you pleased!
I also make about that amount. sm
I have both a full-time job and a part-time job, and work about 60 hours a week. I don't do five 12-hour days. I work a normal 40-hour week, then for the part-time I scatter my hours in the evening. It works out really well for me and I average about $50,000 a year. For a long time, I was working a regular 40-hour job and only making about $27,000 a year. It's definitely worth the extra time spent. I work while the kids are in school, then I work for a couple hours after they're asleep. I have every Sunday off with them, and they're busy on Saturdays anyway while I'm working, so it works out well for us. You just have to find a schedule that will fit for you, and the most important thing is to find a company or service that will pay you what you're worth. Keep looking... they're out there...
Per page amount
I work as a general transcriptist for an insurance company and I get paid $3.00 a page no matter how long the page. In the area where I live I think $6 would be a lot of money, but if she can get it, that's a great per page amount.
Anyone can type in any amount they wish - sm
on a board like this, and claim it is their income.
I would not quit with just that amount
because I have spent that much over the past several years buying new home, tile for that home, granite, living - have also put money in the bank oh, say around 40,000. I would not retire from a job unless I won something in the range probably of over 10 million, then I might think about it. It sounds like a huge amount but even people who have won the lotteries have come up broke after a few years. You have to take a very tight rein on money like that and not be unwise in spending, otherwise it will be gone before you know it.
They equate to about the same amount of $$. nm
x
Normal amount?
There is no "normal amount" in this field. It's a matter of if your pay works for you and you feel like you are rewarded properly for it.
I would not poo-poo the amount of money
the people are making doing crafts. I have just bought out of state from a lady on Etsy some plates she made. I paid $25.00 for 3 plates and $40.00 for one. I called her on the phone to put in a special order and I asked where did she sell besides Etsy. She tells me there are several events she goes to, usually selling $20 or more a day of at least $20 each and she cannot make them fast enough. The plates are very ornate, beautiful (mine at least because I like the bling and asked for such) so I think if you got enough needing your product, hey don’t think a person cannot make a good living that way. She sells on Etsy plus the events she attends and possibly other ways although we did not get into that. I love crafts and only wish I could make something as beautiful but guess I will just have to stay with what I do best, MTing.
The TC? I've been paying the same amount
for over 4 years. I've never paid any money out whatsoever in over 4 years to work for MQ.
I've also never run out of work. On two occasions, we were running right behind the dictation - very closely - but I still had enough work to get the lines that I WANTED, not just the minimum production.
There may be a day come when I do actually run out. I will deal with that situation then.
I was just asking where you were getting your information because it is is nothing similar to how it works for me.
Good luck.
I was in the same boat until I threw a $ amount at him.
Then he said, "What are you talking to me for? Get back to work!" 
Hey everyone, I have a huge amount of strawberries from my
want to make a different kind of dessert with them. Every year I always wind up making strawberry shortcake or strawberry ice cream and well those are great but I'm such a creature of habit that I really want to make something completely different. If you have any great ideas, PLEASE let me know!
Thanks!
a normal amount would be allowed I think
not gobs of blanks
For the amount of knowledge this job takes...
The constant demands to do more and more, increased accuracy requirements, I think #4. #2 would be a good entry level wage, but in reality I think most of us are stuck there.
Pay for amount of usage -- might not be bad idea
Phone bills used to be like that, -- shows my age. I say sometimes I think it would be nice that those that use the most pay the most,. I have my cable TV on at the most 2 hours a day and yet I pay the same as those that watch 14 hours a day. Just like we get paid on the production of work we do, maybe we need to pay for the amount of usage on certain items.
Agree. There's no way to do triple the amount
of lines on VR to keep your same amount of pay. VR takes too long to correct/edit. This is such a rip-off.
The dollar amount may not have been the point...
but I just find it funny that those who agree all say they are making $25+ an hour. Just wondered if you would still agree with her if you weren't making the money you are making. Many of us do support our family on our wage and there is no way I could do it on $11.50. I make a few dollars more an hour than that and we are still struggling to make ends meet. I guess I was just put off by the judgmental attitude of the OP that if we can't cut it with our current pay that we just need to reevaluate our lifestyle. I live simply, but I live in a high-cost area. There is really no way I could cut back on my costs. So if I ever make less than I am now, I will be forced to look for a new job.
Yes, there seems to be a tremendous amount of damage control on her lately by MQ. What is going on
 and they are just as nasty as my office has been becoming lately with everyone worrying about their jobs now that our accounts have been switched to the NE region out of the local office.
On the pay stub it says "DEP adjustment:. So how many of you believe the amount you
the lost lines? I've been on DEP for over 2 years. Not sure I'm going to cash this check quite yet.
I think the best of MQ is over. With the horrendous amount of money going to lawyers and what it
will cost to pay these hospitals that they bilked will be millions and millions. There is no way there is going to be money made with MQ anymore without a tremendous amount of aggravation. I think they will sell out or merge. My office is closing and they told the clients either get on DQS or find another MT company so they are moving on rapidly to something and not sure what. I think they are getting their ducks in a row.
Amount to charge for digitizing tapes
One of the clients that I trancribe from tapes for just contacted me about helping them create a digital library of their taped recordings into MP3 files. Since I'm not used to charging for anything other than transcription work I'm at a loss of what a good rate for this type of work would be. I don't want to short change myself because it will be time consuming work but I want to make sure I give them a fair price as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
East coast will pay that amount and even go higher
Out of curiosity, how soon do you think they should be able to accomplish a decent amount?

That would be an enormous amount of various dishes of food. sm
if 80 people come, that could be 30-40 bowls, platters, plates; probably not realistic.
