i feel like life is monotonous if we all think about is making money and how to make a good life. i think that we should think more than just making money. i have seen some stories of people who have resigned from their high paying job and just do some jobs that earns much less but gives them more happiness in life. so form e , i just feel like earning online has taken a toll in my life also. it feels like i have loss a lot of my time just thinking of money and just i feel it is not worth it because i may have loss some other things because of this. so for now i am trying to get back to the basics and think and do more things that can bring more lasting value than just money.

Its true, there are more precious things than money, its God and your time with your family. Anyway to earn money, you need to spend some time, but not that it will eat up most of your time.
I just only wish that I can earn money on things that I do enjoy doing and not because I don't have any options to earn money. It is really difficult to earn a living on something that you just don't enjoy and like to do.

I agree with you and I'm trying to keep that mindset more as my life progresses. I've always had "bad things happen when you least expect it" and this has turned me into someone who is always waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it does, it usually costs money. I'm to the point where I feel like I'm a hoarder with money and other objects. I work nights so I pretty much work and pay bills. I'm trying to loosen up and just go with things a little more and not set so much money aside and just go do some things on my days off.

One has to work really hard to make both ends meet. Money has the power to buy us our daily bread and butter and help us sustain a comfortable life, but we should not be thinking about it all the time. There are other things that we should consider like our relations. People work day and night to buy expensive presents for their children, but they often forget that it is not just presents that the children need it is also their parent's presence which they crave for.

Yes, if we always working and making money, it will make us tired. Live just not to work and make money but live for our happiness. There are many people that leave their work that gives a lot of money and choose other work that gives little money, but they happy with their new work. I think they choose happiness than money in their life. If you feel tired with your monotonous activities to work and make money, it is a good idea if you choose the job that give you money as well as happiness, although you get less money. Have a nice day.

money can bring happinesss according to me because there are many people who have desire and that desire can be fulfilled by money if you don't have money you can't buy anything. you life is hell without money there are many work which you can't do without money.so according to me money is very important in life to survive

Trying to earn online really is wasting my time too, becauase most sites I visit do not pay well. Besides, you need to spend more time online to earn a decent money than earning from your off-line job. Currently I am doing both and it kind of works for me up to some extend as I have not much to do at home once I am back from office. Good day!

I think it should be the opposite, I think making money should be fun, fun to ever face the new challenges and ideas and potentials that go our way. Making money is fun because if you make more then you would be able to help other people who need it most, helping people, think this is the acme of making money, to have the ability to reach out to others since you are already secured, but till then all of us should labor and toil and strive
. Balancing your priorities on how you will make your money is also very important so good luck

That is why we should give our selves a break from time to time. yes we need to earn in order to support ourselves and our family as well but let us bear in mind that we have to take other things in consideration also.
As of now that I was able to get the good sites, I already decided to set the time when I will have to work online and a time that I have to rest on a weekly basis. This way, I could also attend to other important things.
Have a great day!

I don't think money is important to our happiness. Its important to have the things we need though people are capable to be happy without money. I feel bad for those people whom work constantly just for money.

Making money is very important to me because, I will be moving soon, and I have to work hard because I need to make, some extra money so I can spend, some time with my granddaughter, and I need to work hard as I can, here online and I will be taking me some breaks, to so I won't be so tired while I am working here online.

I think the most important thing about working is that you should love your job, otherwise everything feels exhausting. While money may be the biggest consideration in choosing a job, if you're not happy doing it, it feels nothing. Money can't buy happiness.

it is easy to say this if you have the means to buy food for you and your family, send your kids to school, pay the bills, etc. if you can hardly make ends meet, then all you will ever think about are ways and means on how to increase your income so you can provide for your family. who doesn't long for a less stressful life? we all do but sometimes it just isn't possible.
i value my hard earned money because i know it is a tool that i can use in my day to day existence. some people do not have the privilege of choosing jobs.
