is it easy or difficult to make money in today's time?

Making money online is very difficult to do these days! Through my first year of university all I did was go from scheme to scheme, trying to make a quick buck. It's so easy to get brainwashed by it all - at one point I got really excited because I reached my first payout of $1 on some paid e-mail scheme... I watched as my account balance increased by a few cents per day... it wasn't until I started working in an office full time this summer that I realized that I was completely wasting my time! a few cents a day doesn't pay the rent! I think that those who got in quick on the internet-money-making thing were the lucky ones - us late-comers are left with the scraps. That is, unless of course we have any money to invest in serious business - they say it takes money to make money, and I believe there's some truth in that - I don't think it's possible to get rich from any free scheme that claims to make you millions! It can be very addictive though! :o)

A lot of opportunities are being opened to earn EASY, QUICK money. This machine called the computer holds the key. But when is it EASY, QUICK...we tend to spend it that same way, EASY, QUICK. The we are back again tot he same routine. The old way remains the best way, as you put it "sweat, heat and dust"...you would have a much deeper appreciate of the fruits of your labor. We are simply caretakers of anything we possess, as such having fully placed and engaged ourselves towards work, we learn to value more the fruits. The seeds of the fruits will much more multiply.

I think the answer for this would wary from person to person. Times have changed and those who changed themselves with time making money is no problem for them rather they would be seeing much more opportunites for making money. Finance is not only readily available rather it is also available in adundance. If you have a good idea which can be implemented practically then you can even get venture capital funds to finance your projects. so for me money making is not difficult all you need is the guts to take the risk and move on.

Hey Apple....the only way to make any significant money with little effort is one of two ways. 1): Win the Lottery 2): Invest in the Stock Market wisely....but that is a lot like number 1. The old fashion way is the only guarantee that you have and will always be so. There are some people who do pretty well on the Internet I think and may disagree with that. But if they look at the amount of time the are investing in making that money it is the same thing. There is no free lunch. That is an absolute. You find something that disproves this and I will be very happy to join you and eat my words. LOL

well i think its tough either way,now adays everything is so expensive and sometimes no matter how much we make we seem to never have enough.working on line is good too but you have to find the good paying sites,i belong to a few of them and they pay really well,and you dont have to wait for your checks long.when i was younger i had to work my butt off to pay all my bills and help my family as much as i can,and now i try and do the same thing for my family that i have,by doing hair at home until i get my salon again,working online,and selling stuff on ebay.but you gotta work your butt off to achieve what you want in life,and i want to have another hair salon.take care hon.hugs.pattie

Hi Apple my friend :) Depends on the person, and what he wants to achieve in his/her life. The same goes for online and for offline business. If you start with only ambition, be prepared to really sweat, and work hard, and to struggle. Rarely someone has enough to start well from the beginning so it's not easy. if you settle for a job, than this is what you'll get - salary for your working hours, expertise needed for what you are hired to do, but you don't need break your back in order to be and have a normal life. Things change when you are entrepreneur and starting your own business. The responsability and work are all for you, and many don't make it. What is needed is a good and solid plan of action, some backing (and if you can get it will be great), and many, many hours of work daily. I believe that what we wish to achieve is workable and possible, if we believe in our selves, and do everything we can while continuing to believe in our goal - nothing, and no one can stop us :) TheFortunes

no it's very difficult to make money nowadays especially here in the Philippines. Filipinos tend to aim on working abroad because the grass is so much greener there. the salary is way bigger than the ones we have here. it's not that easy to find a job especially if you haven't finished schooling. and even if you're a college graduate, a lot of times you'll become unemployed. that's a really sad truth. yes it's possible to make money online through these free schemes but you shouldn't rely on it because it's not enough to pay for the rent and everything. it might not be able to pay for the internet bills either. i just do these things for fun just to pass time while looking for a real job. =)

earning money is not very easy to do. especially if you want to earn on the net. it takes a lot of luck, effort and hardwork to earn even the mimimum.

I think we could make money more comfortably, like sitting in an office or working on the computer. But I think it takes the same amount of energy and effort to make money. In the old times, we need physical energy, but in the modern world, we need more brain power.

HellO! It depends on person-person and job-job. If one is doing the job of workers who work outside in sun sweating out, then ofcourse its a difficult job. If somebody is working inside an office in AC, it may seem to be easy as he isn't sweating or in dust, but it can also be difficult. One has to work hard in making money although there are also people who get easy money but their ways are mostly wrong. vani^_^

I think it is not easy to earn money online nowadays. First, because there are lots of scam money making company online. They are taking advantage of people who are innocent doing the job they want. Secondly, earning cents from legitimate sites doesnt pay your bills in a month. Third, You should have at least work full time in a company in order for you to buy your neccesities. Lastly, Beware of sacm sites telling you to pay a membership fee just to be a member.

Hi,dear friend, Actually,it is well konwn that my country has so many population,the number is really so large ,of course finding a job nowadays is relly so hard not to say making money,however,you can got a well paid job if you are excellent enough,so what is the most important thing is that you must well grasp your specialized skills which makes you essentail,beside this you also have to well grasp the opptunities,and prepared for it.under thses occasions you can earn a lot of money.this is the case in my country,I am not quite sure what about other countries.maybe this is various from country to country.. this is my comment on your discussion. molly....smiles...

I think it's much harder, maybe not to make money but to determine where you can make money. And even in a regular 9-5 job it's harder, people want you to automatically have experience but how are you supposed to get it if they all ask for it? And college cost so much that your in the hole forever.

Nowaday, it seems like money making is very tough and difficult but it is not true. it is upon our determination. i am not a millinare to say so. today i have loans to pay about 8 lakhs but i am sure at i can do this within three years time. any body want to join my success path can mail to me. sunil_cs@yahoo.com with subject art of earning thaks
