How Much Money Do You Need?

So we try to make money on the internet, but we can only earn small amounts on some sites, so my question is this... How much money do you actually want or need and what would it be used for?
I myself need £15,000... I know it sounds a lot, and it will take a long time to get, but I try lol... Basically what I want it for is to pay off a loan that I have on a car that I have which is on finance... it was one of those times where I needed to get car desperately and the only way i could do it was to go to a finance company... but because they take desperate cases like me :( they like to charge the earth on the intrest. Basically I am paying £17,000 for a car over 5 years... yeah yeah I know... i am an idiot, and I wish I hadnt of done it, but at the time it was my only option... basically the price of the car was £6,000 and the remainder is the intrest I am paying back... so every month I pay nearly £300 just for the finance... if I could get rid of this debt, then I would be happy and a little richer, but I have had the car for 2 years now, and so still have another 3 years of paying this company back, unless i can find enough money to pay them now, and they will knock off some of the remaining payment because of the interest that they would have to knock off. Any one else in a similar situation?

Well, when I first tried to earn online, it was to pay back my husband's credit card bill - the one from England in which he owes about £3000.
Now I have learnt that I will not be able to do that in the time frame that I have in mind. So, I am just doing it to get whatever I can get out of it.
Truthfully, I need how much ever I can get.

Hi Rosie,
At this moment, I'm hoping that the money I get from online activities and writing assignments will blossom to cover day-to-day expenses, about S$600 - S$800. But I'm even nearly there. If I don't have this amount, I'm actually digging into my savings bit by bit.
Now that my daughter is still not in school yet, expenses may still be manageable. But later on, it's going to increase dramatically. I'm getting worried about this.

I want lots of money, but the amount need for myself is just to survive. I am happy with little things. Of course money from the internet is not very reliable, so I would like to get enough money to get my own thing going.

I need enough money to get by everyday. I don't resort to making money online, though. If I need stable income, I would just get myself a day job.

Well, I only need enough money for addition to my daily expenses. Just an extra money!

i'm actually in need of immediate cash and i don't think and i don't really expect i can get it here.^_^ i have a scheduled trip to a southern town which needs some extra allowance too as we might go to other places near that region. i'm also planning to go with my friends on a night trek. and lots of other outdoor adventures.^_~
as for big plans such as your dream car,^,^ since i don't think i can ever learn of driving i had not really thought of getting one. although, i might, in the future, for my family.^_^ in the meantime, i wanted to provide financial support for the renovation of our house here and for the acquisition of some asset and buying back our piece of land, which my father had inherited. i think it's location is very promising as now my father's hometown is slowly becoming a tourist spot with the help of the beautiful waves of its seas. it's known here as the surfing capital of the country so i really want that land. hahahah... my parents might want to live there when they get older.

Oh my..that's way too expensive. I don't have a car yet but planning to get one real soon. I think it's too late to regret getting an expensive car. It's just that you need to earn so that you will be able to pay for it. have extra sideline so it would also help manage your other expenses.
