How Much Money.

I decided to come back here and revisit this. I have been presented with this question or a form of it in every venture and opportunity as well as every scam I'v looked into, and par-took of. I've hated the question from the beginning. It was there in Amway(Yep, I did it,) Strategic Telecom Systems (Pre-paid phone cards,) etc. The question was always a a requirement of becoming part of the system.

Really?

Here's the thing: You and I can't live without money! So drop this stigma about making money. (OK maybe that comment was for me.) You and I would not be here at WA unless we wanted to create some type of income. Money!

But, Happiness is not found in money! "Wait a minute, dude, it sure does help!" you say. Yeah, it sure does.

As I have been here reading through many of your bios I realized that money is not part of the plan. Spending time with family, time at home, not having to go out to work, being able to do what you really like, health issues limiting mobility, all these and other reasons, but money is not part of it. But, making money is a fundamental part of working in any venture, or job. We generally would not spend our time in a job, or work, unless we had a return or a payout financially. Why, because more money does not equal happiness.

So now, let me look at these questions again.

QUESTION #1: How much money would you be happy earning? I am addressing this as how much I need to live off of. Everything is easier and much more calm when the bills are met. Why, because my family is happy when the bills are paid.

QUESTION #2: How much would you be ecstatic earning? This is the fluff. The disposable income that is spoken of by the government's economic data offices and the advertisers in the marketplace.

QUESTION #3: And how much TIME are you willing to invest to achieve these goals? this is straight forward. If you don't have discipline and diligence in the form of TIME you just may not achieve the financial and personal RETURN ON INVESTMENT you so desire. There is a relationship.

So.... what do I say?

1) About about $3,750.00 monthly. I have six children. It costs a minimum of that to not rely on any outside help (assistance) to pay all the bills each month. This doesnt even meet the feredal levels for poverty with six children.

2) I don't need a bunch of fluff, but perhaps $7,500.00 monthly

3) Approximately 8-12 hours daily. Right now I can get in about 2-5 hours a day.

Thanks,
