How much money do you need?

How much money do you need to make to not feel like you are wasting your time? There are many ways to make money online. I have heard that some pay really well (though I haven't had such success myself) and some pay ok. Then there are some that you really have to devote some time to before you can make enough to buy a pack of gum. I guess your satisfaction depends on your expectations. Sites like mylot don't pay much but they have their own merits. How much money do you feel is worth the effort if money were the only reward?

When I worked in food service, every penny counted and I did everything online I could whether it was really worth my time or not. Now I do MyLot because once my affiliates start participating I get eager to collect payout and become more active myself. I also write a bit for Associated Content which is my favorite because most of the time I can just write something and make $5 or so off of it a week later plus a little bonus at the end of the month even if I don't write of around $8. If I can't reasonably reach payout or make around $10 in a month, I don't feel like it is worth my time unless it's with an affiliate program that I don't actually have to do anything with to earn.

I'd say making $1-200 would be pretty cool per month, but there are so many scams out there and all of the seemingly genuine ones require hours of sitting around on sites like this, which would be impossible to balance alongside my job and my home and social life ;)
