Why do you want to make money?

We all want to make extra money, right? But why? Is it out of necessity to pay the bills, is it to help fulfill a passion, is it because you just want to be rich? For me, I want to make more money to support my lifelong dream of owning a horse. He costs me and my family close to $500 a month, and that's a big financial strain that I don't want my family to have to deal with on their own, with no help from me. He is my horse, after all, so I should have responsibility for him.

Making extra money gives you pleasure! Its not like that you will increase your bank balance or buy more luxuries but making money is always good if the sources are legal. We can't buy anything without money these days so earning money is very necessary for us.

I'm doing online jobs to be able to support my family and sisters' school fees. And, I'd like to buy my own dslr, that's why I'm trying my luck here in mylot. I'll see if this really works. I haven't received a payout yet. If I get to receive it after reaching my goal, then I'll continue doing this to save some money for my camera.

Today, everyone is money centric. Because whatever facilities or necessities we need does not come without money. For every thing you need money. Even to gain respect from other you need money. There may be different causes to earn money, but basic is to keep yourself independent and lead a nice life. I want to earn more money to be financially secured and my families' life be better after me. I want my son to complete his education and whatever he needs shouldn't be deprived off due to 'no money problem'. Also, in case of emergencies I want to be self dependent instead of spreading hands somewhere before my friends or relatives.

I need money to pay for a new laptop, textbooks, art supplies, and other supplies. It would be nice to be rich too, but that would require a lot of stress and thought to reach there. Also have money to go out shopping for new clothes now and then.

I want to make extra money for my plan in the future, because I am a single so, I planned to go married in the next couple years. In order to provide a good life, I have to prepare all including to buy a home. Of course, I do all these plans together with my fiance so these goals will be easier to achieve. So far, I am doing a part time job through the internet, for example, write an article, blogging activity, freelance, etc. Just focus on your target, and create a good plan, whether a short or long plan and stick with it. I hope you will achieve your target soon. So I agree with you, rich is optional, better have a happy life and fulfilled all the cost in the future. However, if there are chances to be rich of course you will take it, right? Thank

I started earning online over 10 years ago, so I could stay at home with my children. I work online to pay my bills, go shopping and save for a rainy day. I have my own domain website/blog and new forum where I can help others learn to do this too. The best advice I can give to people just starting out is to hang in there. It won't happen overnight...but it will happen. Happy Earnings!!

I am earning extra money for the goals that I am setting for the future: take up Master's Degree, buying my own laptop, having a vacation with my boyfriend in Hong Kong, and some minor stuff like saving up for Adam Lambert's concert here in the Philippines. Then, I am also saving up for the future for other things. My goal is to save up to buy the things I need in the future. :)

I am a student, I study Japanese and other foreign languages. University here in my country is not that good though, and I'm trying to save money to go to a school in Tokyo for at least three months. I already have two part time jobs (I give lessons to a 14 years old girl and I work in a theater) but the money I'm earning aren't enough, that's why I am trying to work online too. :)

I will tell you why do I want to make extra money because I want to buy some stuff that I need. For example I want to by myself a cell phone because my old phone broke and now I do not have a device to make calls. I also need to make extra money because I have a few things to pay and I cannot call myself rich person, because I am not rich at all, that is why I need some money to make my life better, even that money are not everything, I need some to help myself and my family.

My #1 main reason for working online is so that just in case if my husband has a problem with there being no work then we can still pay the bills. I have seen some months when there was no work at all for us, other months to much work. So if I can help out in any way possible when it comes right down to paying a few bills then I will have it made. I also want to keep some cash away in my Paypal for my kids Christamas, its always hard that time of the year to pay for presents for them, this is why I do club Bing and get them free toys, and get hubby things.
