I am earning 80-100$ in a week now and that's only for extra money and save some for trips in holiday or so on, because I am still a student and living with my parents so there are not much that I need to pay. But I am hoping to earn more like 200$ a week or something like that, so I will have more money to spend / save ^^

At the moment, I get about 300 dollars a month, which is just enough to make ends meet: no eating or going out, no new clothes every week, no extra money to save. (and I don't pay rent!) I wish I made twice as much, that would be great, so I can start saving. In my country the average salary is about 350-400 dollars, but lots of people get less than that. As I said, what i get is just enough because I don't have to pay rent or mortgage, a regular two-bedroom house or apartment is anything between 150 to 300 dollars a month! Go figure! I can't complain though, cause I have a nice life overall, but I miss going out to the movies and such, like when I was living with my parents and didn't have to pay for anything! Now I'm happily "married" and with a small child, so as far as we can cover up our basics, food, clothing, cable tv (humans need entertainment!) I'm ok.

i work on building sites so i get cash in hand every day, so for me it is probably between £30 to £40 a day for me to feel realy satisfied. But it all depends on how much was done that day, somedays i could work non-stop and get £40 and others i could have a easy slow day and still get about £30 lol

I'm retired from the military and living on that alone right now, which isn't much. I'd be happy with anything extra at this point, even $50 a week ($100 would be more like it, though).

I am a student and surf the web in my pass time to earn some cash,learning web designing too.If i will get 40$ a week i will satisfy but it's human nature the more you get the more want that applies here in my case also,but i know without hard work i will not get a single penny, so i am just doing it ,and i hope will get that margin soon.

To be happy, I need nothing. To me, money represents freedom, so I will set an amount of how much I would like to feel free. I would like, and intend to make 10,000 a month to begin with. I have a business that has the potential to make that kind of money, so I will start there :)

Right now $200.00 would be suitable for me. I have been paid as much as $700.00 every two weeks and that was exciting but as far as I am concerned $200.00 every pay period would be very nice.
