How much do you think is a good monthly earning?
Enough for you to have some little fun and have a life.
Theirs two kind of wages.
Minimum wage and living wage.
Minimum wage is the minimum wage that you need to receive in order to survive.
Living wage is the wage you need to receive in order to have a life.

yeah.. 5000 dollars is my dream wage. I can have five girlfriends if I have 5,000 dollars..lols. Sad to say right now I only earn about 50 dollars a month. Or even less. I'm hoping that I can earn that much online. If only I know how.

A good monthly earning to live comfortably and still have money to play with? Well I think that depends on where someone lives as living expenses are more in some places then others. To live in our house and pay all of our bills and still have a little money left over for some fun we need at least $5000 a month, but that does not count putting any money in to savings or anything like that. To feel truly comfortable I would say between 6 and 7 thousand per month.

I agree in my country that amount is already enough for one year minimum wage. If i can earn 1,000 dollars a month I'm already considered having a luxury living in my country. 5,000 dollars a month. I'm rich. lolz. How I wish I can earn online 5,000 dollars a month. For sure I will be the most happy man.

I think I need minimum wage from my earnings every month in order for me to survive too. I am currently earning online but it is not enough for me to leave my day job. I still go to the shop to repair mobiles and buy and sell phones. If I could have more funds and learn about good earning opportunities then I could stay at home in the next days and not work at all...

What we need my friend is living wage not minimum wage. Because minimum wage is only good for one person needs. What if we have family? We need to send our children to school etc. That is living wage. What we need is living wage. Enough funds to pay rent and sent our children to school. Minimum wage is only for single person basic needs. food and cloths and shelter nothing more.

I think it depends very highly on where you live. Where I live, in a big city in the Western world, it needs to be pretty high, I am afraid...

No matter where you live theirs always a standard of living. As long their is a standard of living their is a standard minimum wage and living wage. Now if you live in third world country that the standard of living is poor. lets say you need to earn 5 dollars a day to sustain yourself. Then that is your minimum wage. Now how about if you have a famly? Lets say a wife and two kids? You need to earn at least 25 dollars a day to sustain your family needs. That is living wage.
..
So no matter what country or what is the standard of living theirs always a minimum and living wage.

That's right!!
Everyone needs that minimum wage and living wage. We need to survive every minute,every second of the day. In order for us to live life to the fullest, we must have that living wage before having that minimum wage..or.. is it vice versa? hahaha.. enjoy!

Minimum wage is the minimu wage we need to sustain ourself alone. Meaning we can buy foods, cloths and bed spacer if you don't have a home.
Living wage is the wage we need to feed our family. That means if you have a wife and two kids you need to earn living wage. Enough to support your family needs.
