We all need money to sustain for our daily needs and wants to be able to survive. But we cannot move without spending money. Doesn't it sound a little bit weird? When we apply for a job, we need to secure proof that we have met the qualification standards. We have to print out a cover letter, a resume, certificates, etc. . and then travel to where the office is located. If we go online, we earn some money, but it can't make as much as a real stable job can do. And it's actually not free. We pay for internet connection. Then the worst thing is, sometimes if we are less productive, expenses will go higher than what we earn. What do you think? Are there still activities that are for free where we can earn?

Well it depends on you mate, how you utilise the money and time in hand. You can't expect to be rich by just sitting at home and not doing anything. If you excell in a certain thing, then of course you can surpass the money you invested in learning that thing.

I agree with you.. Still we need to spend to be able to earn but if you have a good strategy then that would be great!

That's what we call WORKING HARD for the MONEY! hahaha Getting rich isn't an easy thing to do. We have to work hard for it, invest blood, sweat and tears to reach your goal and your zenith to success. But as you progress, everything will fall into place in God's own perfect time and plan.

Both you and your mate should be responsible on how to handle your finances. You know each other's wants and desires but just be very extra cautious in spending, because once this hard-earned money gets off your hand and spent excessively without even thinking, then, you'll be sorry once you lose it. Am I right?

Yes, money attracts money. And without investing money it is we just can say impossible to earn money, no matter how little we have to invest.

I think online writing cannot sustain the daily needs. But it sustains mine for having online tutorial.

I don't know of any online places where a person can earn without being charged to use the internet, unfortunately there is always internet connection charges. It is true that a person needs money to make money.

My internet is free since the office provides internet connection in our department. I only connect to online jobs and other online earning activities secretly so that nobody would suspect I'm working beyond the tasks being assigned to me.. I prioritize my offline work of course before going online for extra income

I need an internet connection for my regular work. Any money I make on-line is just a bonus.

Me too.. It could become a bonus if you are provided with internet connection by your office and that's what I do

Online writing is fun! the reaction, response and comments of your readers to what you're writing is sometimes overwhelming and likewise inspiring. Others comment negatively to your topic, but you can't stop them from doing so because each of us have minds of our own and we're free to express ourselves both positive and negative, although there are certain limitations to express one's self, just don't go over board or below the belt and you should be responsible of your own actions.

It is a vicious circle. It is hard nowadays to do anything without money. Maybe you can grow things and sell the produce but it still takes a certain amount of money.

We've to admit that we all need money, but we should never let ourselves become slaves because of MONEY as well..As they say, MONEY is the root of all evils, when spent unwisely and excessively. MONEY is fleeting unless you have to be sensible enough on how to use it and utilize it.to the maximum....The more money you have, the contentment isn't enough. you still long for more and more and more, but if you've less money, you just spend it enough what's in your hand....
