I would say that money are never enough. It always depends where you live, because for some places 250 is a good number, for other places not, it all depends on the prices in the specific country.
I work only at home. I am trying to avoid spending time in places where I earn small amounts, because I can put my time for earning more, but sometimes it is impossible.
But what I know is that I would like to have work outside of home. It is something which is brings stable money at home and that way is better than just waiting your luck to come online.
I would surely choose a work out of home and online work when my shifts finish, if I was able to choose.

I think that would be great i mean like me i do online as part time and i do have a stable income as a nurse so combine it both and i do get great amounts of money, anyway thanks a lot for sharing your views for me if there is a great chance that i can earn more at home i think i will just stay home but do spend my money outside.

I work as a taxi driver and earnings is about $1000 per month. not too much as Spain has become quite expensive... I also earn money from the internet with some businesses I am currently working with but I'm not withdrawing any money at this point as I'm still building up my income potential. I hope I can buy my Christmas gifts with my online earnings this year ;)

hey there camalich,
Yeah i guess it is different from one country to another here in my country what you earn is more than enough to feed 4 families with kids that are in the poorer section i only earn one fourth of what you do and i am a professional anyway i hope you can give me some tips on making more cash since i think you can give some tidbits in earning.

That's right my friend, feeding a family of 4 here in Spain with $1000 or even 1000€ (which is more) its quite a tough job...

I am working as private duty nurse because I can get good salary, also less exposure, less stress and less work than before when I am working in the hospital. But now I am currently on leave because I am planning to get pregnant as soon as possible, for the meantime I am focus on online job now and work as a part medical transcriptionist to my brother-in-law. I am just glad that I have enough saving for my personal needs and also my husband will take charge to all our expenses.

Good man your husband is, i will become a guy like that one day for my gal, wow a colleague nice to meet another one here i work in a small hospital but you can only imagine the stress since it is private but we take care of ten to twelve patients at a time and it is just too much sometimes, i know in public they take care of 20-30 per nurse but in a private you cant just order the relatives around you have to behave in a certain way so that you don't get scolded at or reported too.

I think there is money in internet for the people of developed countries. Job sites actualy count and pay those people of developed countries.
Whereas the people of poor countries are never evaluated, never paid or paid a little bit, scammed.
Perhapes jobsite owner always tries to or dare to show irresponsibility or cheating as much as what they wish as there is none to detect, retain and punish them.
Virtually they never treat the people of poor countries as any kind of human.
Online earning looks like shhit to me. Its just quite wasting of time.

Wow, you must have had a bad experience working online, what happened? Well my sister and her husband had been working online on Odesk and they earn a good sum of money and it is all they do so i think that not all online jobs are fake and are scams.

Me, I am doing extra bookkeeping of doctors income to add a little of my monthly income. Good enough to buy milk and some food stuff needed for my kids.
