Yes, it is nice to have a little extra money to spend on yourself now and then. However, I personally try to use the income that I make on the internet to actually pay for big things like my rent and everything else basically. In short, I have a drive to earn money in order to pay for my whole life.

Do you earn enough online to pay big payments....????
How do you manage to earn so much online...
I know some sites but earnings are quite slow there, about 10-20$....
And the scams these days make it worse....
What's your way to earn online....

I personally work for many different sites. Most of the sites that I work for where I earn big money are upfront payment sites. I just write, write, and then write some more. Being able to make good money at it has always been able being able to turn out articles quickly. They still need to be of good quality mind you, but they also need to be done in a timely manner. If you can do this, then you can make a decent living writing online.

I am sorry to hear about the tough time that you are going through in terms of your employment. I seriously hope that things improve for you in that area. I think it is great though that you are able to keep your head up about all of this. Scrapping together every last penny that you can find can be difficult or even embarrassing. However, tough times call for making sacrifices. I feel like you really have a good head on your shoulders, and you are making the right decisions for yourself and those around you.

I think the drive that makes me want to make money online is an overall feeling of accomplishment. I have won several rewards for my article writing and am glad to be given the opportunity to have this happen. The extra income also motivates me because we are not a rich family. I have easily made over 300 dollars in one week from writing and it feels great. :)

Wow oscar6! That is truly inspiring. Being able to make that kind of money from your writing in a week is a great feeling isn't it? :) I personally have been able to do that and more for myself also. It must be something to do with those of us who come from the poor families right? I know that I do not come from a wealthy family either, but I also work hard to make sure that I am able to make as much money from my writing as possible. I am glad to hear that you are out there doing the same as well.

Maintaining faith that you are going to reach your goal is critical. When you do this kind of thing, you are going to find that you are able to keep your eyes on the prize better so to speak. This means that you are going to be able to keep your spirits up and continue to write even when it is difficult. Just having the motivation is half the battle of doing this kind of work in the first place.

For me, it's the knowledge and the peace of mind that I have money or something of of my own. Even though I don't make much comapred to my family, friends and acquaintances, I feel that I need to have money of my own for my own pleasure and needs. I admit that I can be prideful to the point that I refuse money from others but I feel that since I have skill, I might as well exploit to do something that I can benefit from.
In a sense, money is like a proof point to me - proof that I can spend and I can buy anything I like, proof that I don't have to tolerate people just for the sake of money and evidence that I can actually earn something and not be a forever dependent on anybody.

Peace of mind is completely without a price tag. If you are able to get a certain amount of money that brings you this piece of mind, then that money might as well be gold. Feeling some stability in your life also seems to help you to want to strive to make even more and to do even more good.

I think that it is wonderful that you are able to continue to do what you love while still earning a nice living for yourself in other ways as well. There are plenty of us who would love to be able to do just this. You show us that it is really just about finding a way to balance work and the other things that we want to do. For those who happen to work in what they already love, this is even better.
