What Is "Making Money" to You?

To me, it is 'doing work to fulfill the money's given value' (i.e. to provide 'quality' to the time for which I receive the money).
But to 'Science' it is 'currency received in exchange for the value of a product or service given.' For example, all the money I've 'received' from my work online was made in exchange for space-on-my-visitors'-browser-windows
(I almost made the common slip-of-the-tongue and said 'money I've "made," but the money I've 'made' online is a far-different animal than that which I've 'received' ... which is not much)
So which do you prefer? Science's 'money for stuff'-definition, or Reality's 'money for work'-definition?

I enjoy trying to make money online, however, I haven't made all that much, but as time goes on, I hope to make more. It is basically just a few cents here and there, but I wish it were more than that, and maybe someday it will be, as it is hard to find ways to make money without getting scammed, and I have been scammed before, and not wanting that to happen again. that is why I am doing free sites so I won't put any money out and get nothing back. Earning anything at all, is an incentive for me to keep on earnings. good luck to you and happy mylotting.

You're answering the wrong question, but it shows the gleeful blindness money-making sites encourage (I asked 'what "making money" is,' not 'what makes the money)

Oh, sorry, I did answer it worn, and I do apologize. Making money to me being able to be my own boss, work when I want or don't want to, and being able to take time off if need be as well. I do enjoy at least trying to make money, even though I don't make a lot.

Well. to me, it's "to provide services to others for which I receive the money." By services I mean both service and product as I'm only satisfied when providing something of high value to others but at affordable prices for low income people. I sell health products in my country at low prices so low income people can be as healthy as the wealthy ones. And I also sell them online locally. But it's not all about money, sometimes I give them for free for to those who can't afford it. I don' mind as I live a simple living. So, in this case, I prefer "Reality's money for work-definition."

like the time you spend winding-up a mechanical-walking-toy; the time you spent winding is manifest in how far 'your money' (the toy) goes!

making money for me means using your current financial earnings and making them grow.it means managing your finance wisely.it doesn't matter if the money is from your salary or your business.in my opinion,a lot of people thinks that making money is akin to earning more and becoming richer.some rich people have poor money making skills,which can result to them losing money.

I guess a better way to put the question is 'What is money worth to you?'

I prefer reality's money for work. As it defines a secure paycheck for exactly the work I inputted. By no means any of my online earnings could be construed as making money. It is a few dollars I earn for applying my wisdom and careful thinking.

Right-on! The entire Internet started as 'kids throwing information around' and NEVER STOPPED BEING THAT.
