Can you actually get paid to read emails? Yes.
Can you make a thousand, or even a hundred dollars a month while doing so? Not likely.
Why would someone pay you money to read an email? Advertisers want to spread the word about their product or service to as many people as possible.
Pros: The time commitment is extremely small. Basically, this is free money.
Cons: It can take a while to reach the minimum payout level of each website.
Those who give out the cash:
Send Earnings - This website offers a $5 bonus just for signing up for free. However, you will not be able to collect the five bucks until you reach the $30 payout level. You can speed up the process by taking surveys, signing up for free stuff, referring others, or shopping at one of their affiliate vendors. They have paid me twice (via check), so I can safely say they are legit.
Inbox Dollars - Very similar to Send Earnings. Same set up, same $5 registration bonus, same payout level. I'm not sure if these two websites are owned by the same company, but either way, you can use both. The website has been around for a while, and they have paid me once via check.
Hits4Pay - This one is different in that they will simply email you and ask you to log in to view the ads. Each ad you read pays a massive two cents. May not seem like much, but it can add up quickly if you select several interests. Again, you do get $5 for signing up, but cannot get the dough until you reach the $30 payout threshold. Been paid once, almost to payment two.
Deals 'n Cash - Almost identical to Hits4Pay, with the exception being that the pay per ad read is only one cent. $5 signup bonus, $30 cash out. I'm about ten cents from reaching the first payout, and cannot totally guarantee anything until the cash is in my hands.
There are plenty of other websites similar to these, but the rates they offer are so low that they are a waste of time. Well, a waste of my time anyway. If you are unemployed and in desperate need of dough, you may think otherwise.
If you are interested in these, simply Google the term, "paid to click" and you will see tons of results. If there is one redeeming quality of these websites, it would be that the payout level can be as low as $1, and many of them issue the payment via PayPal.

Value of Money
Contributed by Milford Woods
One of the things we’re really trying to teach our children is the value of money. We’re giving them an allowance every week that they have to earn by doing chores. They can choose to spend their money whenever they want—they can make a total impulse buy at the grocery store, or they can save their money up for something they really want. This is working amazingly well. They still opt for the instant gratification of the grocery store purchase more often than not, but a pretty awesome thing has started to happen. A few times, we’ve been out running some errands and one of the kids has spotted something they really want to purchase. They usually freak out when they discover that all of their allowance is gone, and we’ve been using this as a pretty great talking point. Each time, we’ve explained to the kids that had they saved their money they spent on gum and baseball cards for the last few weeks, they would be able to purchase this thing they really want. I can see it starting to take hold. My husband and I are also simultaneously watching our own finances. We recently discovered we can select our own energy providers and can save a ton of money! You can shop rates from Bounce Energy to see how much you can save, too.

What You Should Know
If you are extremely drunk and swear you will never drink too much again, you will forget this when you are sober.
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." If you don't understand this, try putting up your own blog.
You'd better get all your sex here on earth because there won't be any in heaven.
You should not confuse your career with your life. Or, work to life not live to work ... but if you can't follow this, email me your ladies phone number and I'll keep her occupied while you are busy.
Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. We all need something to laugh about...
The most destructive force in the universe is gossip. Next would be women's talk shows...
You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time. Even if you don't follow it, you'll be back in sync with everybody eventually.
A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails).
Your friends love you anyway. But if you have none, I will be your friend for a small phenomenal fee.

Circus Clowns - Without Skill Laughter Turns Into Disaster
We all love clowning around and playing the idiot bringing laughter to those around us but sometimes our antics seen as bit of fun can turn laughter into disaster. Circus Clowns are similar to that of the jester in many ways in how they entertained crowds of people with performances which included daft tricks and funny doings like face pulling even throwing buckets of water over fellow Circus Clowns.
As funny and hilarious as the clowns pranks are, what you have to remember is, these funny folk are well rehearsed in their profession - it takes years of training to perfect what they do. The Circus Clowns performance may entail death defying stunts which have had to be carefully supervised and pieced together because of the risks taken to claim laughs and giggles. Displays from the Circus Clown can consist of acrobatics where the clown now becomes a stunt man - for example knowing how to break a fall or tumble without causing injury to himself or to other clowns in on the act.
A traveling circus show that come to town will no doubt highlight the main event of entertainment with classic performances from the Circus Clowns. It is quite common for the clown to ask for audience involvement in their circus act where the clown gets a little naughty with the onlookers. Just the mention of the circus is coming to town is enough to start a riot among the happy customers queuing for tickets. Besides all the circus animals like the elephants - lion taming acts and dancing dogs - it is without doubt that it is the Circus Clowns that draw the crowds.
The clown entertains in many different ways, some acts may just be floor shows but others may include bareback horse riding - and it is because of this that any clowning you may have in mind for a friend or friends at a party needs to be well thought through. Clowns take risks but are trained to do so and you are not - so think twice before engaging on any dangerous mission you have planned just to get a laugh.
Fancy funny displays from Circus Clowns are no doubt hilarious just like that of their funny costumes and disguises - but take away the disguise - the ginger wig and cosmetic make up and we have a very serious person that takes their profession just as serious. Clowns are very skilled people.
If you are having a party then consider calling in the skilled to provide the entertainment for you. Warning if you are not skilled then dont take any chances because laughter can turn to disaster which is no laughing matter.
