making money

Donate to what? And as far as earning are you talking about online earning? I would say the best way to earn is to work - offline, a real job. You can earn some extra side money online but it does take quite a lot of effort. Some people use this site, GPT sites and paid writing sites among others. Or local secret shopping companies. I have had some luck with earning online and I would suggest some of the sites in the blog in my profile. Of course its not easy money but if you work hard at it you may make some extra side money. MyLot is a good place to start as well. Best of luck to you!

depends what we work at - incomes vary enormously

Incomes vary enormously and it will depends what your work is. You should be able to find information about average rates of pay from industry journals. Personally I don't give money to charity, because I disagree with the aims of most.

I have read that, in the US, people of lower income donate a larger percentage of their income to charity than people of higher income. Suggestion: Publish longer more thoughtful discussions. This one could have been expanded upon in an interesting way.

We made money by getting advanced educations and worked long and hard. There is no easy way. We only donate to certain charities, as much as we feel comfortable doing.

There is no 'simple' way to making money. Best way is to be like everyone else -- work. Unless you have certain specific skills that the industry is looking for, you can of course also offer your skills. I think donating should come from your heart, so it doesn't matter what the amount is, as long as you are comfortable with it.

There are many ways to earn money but none of them I consider as simple. We always have to work hard if we want to earn some decent amount of money.

Nothing comes easy Your effort determines how much you make as well as how smart you worlk Sharing/donating depends with you

The simplest way to earn money could be robbing a bank or smuggling, or gambling or even being paid killer. I mean these things can earn quick money, but they involve risk. Other wise, one can just focus on good education and get into good career or may be strive towards own business.

The amount of donation depends on one's heart not income
