Is earning money more satisfying than the money itself? / myLot

I'm really curious about this. Do you guys find more pleasure in earning money or having the money? I'm not really talking about spending, 'though, I like to see it this way. When I work for something, I don't see pleasure in working itself (except when it is amusing and not so much 'working', like this site) but I see pleasure in buying something I worked for. I think that a blackberry is more worth when you worked hard for it, and worth less if someone gave it to you, out of the blue.

I agree with you. I am really satisfied if I can buy something with money that I got from my hard-work

. This feel of satisfaction really beyond words. It is far better feeling than getting money from people for just doing nothing (for example, money from parents, or so)!

I like earning money as well as seeing the payments I get in my PayPal account. I feel happier when I actually get my payment, but it is fun earning money, although it does take a lot of time and effort for me to earn extra money.

I thin it's a case to case basis. I am happy when I am paid for my writings but enjoy most of my posting here in my lot than the money I received out of it. Some people I know do not care about the money as they volunteer their services for free. But they collect huge payment for their services rendered because it's their profession.

I think there is pleasure in both earnng and spending one's earned money. It's hard to choose a 'best'..The pleasures are different. There is an even different pleasure in receiving a gift.. I remember when I first started making good money and I looked down into my wallet and it hit me..I EARNED all those dollars...
