Money will never buy me happiness...but I wouldn't mind to have $200,000....to pay for my house in full....wink money will never buy security, in fact the more money you have the less secure you can feel...cool [polachicago]
Very Well Said . Was Just Thinking of posting a Response .. Saw your Post And the Response Just Flew Away, Am here Congratulating you .. What you say has Such Deep Meaning And Thoughtfulness .. I Can relate to Your Comments .. [prashanthalva]


A years worth of living expenses would make me comfortable, especially in this job market. It took a friend 6 months to find a job, and even then it was a terrible pay cut. If i had to estimate, i'd say that would be near the ten thousand dollar mark. Maybe more? You know, i should know that, lol. [SparedTheNight]


I would need 27000USD. 25,000 to cover my student loans, and 2000 to survive the next two months if I lose my job. I live pretty basic. [danrunsfast614]

Let's see...if I buy the house with a mortgage, I would need less than if I bought it outright... But if I was going to buy it all free and clear, $100,000.00 would be a nice sum. 20K for a car, 60k to buy a house (there are several in my area I could buy for that amount) and 20k to furnish it and pay off existing bills. That would set me up fairly nice.happy [The_Lamb_Lies_Down]


Well I currently live with my parents, I have a baby due in about a month, and no car. So if I had $2000 to get a car loan, first month's rent on apartment, and a little extra Padding for diapers and such until I go back to work, that would be just perfect. But that's completely unlikely, and I know I won't have the money for an apartment, so I'd be happy with a few hundred dollars. Even fifty would be a huge help. [iheartblogging]

Hi Icesmile, hmm, let me think... Well, the amount of money that I would need really depends on each expense. :-) It seems that I can not place an exact number on the amount of money I would need; only that I would wish to live in a way that was the most comfortable for me. :-) I guess the best way to explain things is that I wish to own just enough to completely enjoy my life in any given moment. :-) For example, if I had a strong desire to visit South Africa or even Rome, I would want the ability to call a travel agent ASAP, book my flight and be on the next planes flying to my given destination. :-) So, basically, just being able to 'get the best' of life with only a little amount of money would make me content. :-) [LaSenyoraSilis]

I dont know what exactly the figure but I as long as i can buy all the necessities i mean food and clothing that is fine with me. I dont want too much because in my own opinion too much is meaningless... [ceejay2009]

I need $50,000 for me to be able to buy a house and new car for my family. My monthly expense can already be covered by the income I am earning from my regular job right now. If I would just rely on the monthly savings I am making right now, it needs a century before I have enough money to buy for a house and a new car. lol. It is so nice to dream and wish that it will come true. Happy myloting. [larish]

To be able to pay all of the bills and buy groceries and ocasionaly go out and have fun I would prefer to have at leasst 3 thousand a month. This last year has not been that kind. Personaly I could be happy with 4 or 5 grand a month, but it will have to wait till I get to work. [okkidokitokki]

Oh, Icesmile! What an interesting discussion this will be! If I had about $20,000, I could get things on track and make ends meet on what I earn. If I had a lot more, I could do a lot more. [cobrateacher]

i will probably need around Php150,000. that will solve all my financial problems. i dont need a car. am pretty well doing without the luxury. Who do you think will give me that? lol ann [tigeraunt]

I need a lot of money and definitely don't have a figure in mind. Even realisticlly, it should be around 30-40k. Are you planning to help out? If so, please consider me too. [suchi60]

gosh, i need quite alot of money!! let's think.. i think i'd need about £600 to pay for all my driving lessons, then almost £100 to pay for the tests. then i'd buy a cheap car, maybe £3000. then i'd want to buy a house - yes i'm 18 but if i had the money i'd buy one now! so, how much are houses these days? £250,000? then... i'd like to have at least £2000 saved... how much does that add up to lol? let's just make it even and say i'd like to have £300,000, please! [xsammiex]

All I need is 10,000. That would pay off my pressing debts and fix my car. Then I could start whittling down my student loans, which total about $27,000. But to make me really happy and stress free I just need/want $10,000. (I'd be happy with $6000 even to get a 'new' used car. That way I wouldn't have worry about it any more and simply work on paying off my debts.) [psycospaz]

A $500 000 dollar for me to buy a house and car. And the remaining would be invest into a business or in bank. That would be enough for me [riezen30]

I don't have any major bill's. My house and car are both paid for. So I can easily get buy on $600 a month for food, and paying the light's, water and phone. That is enough for me, and I would still have some cash left over. [rhoday]

a couple of thousand would help a great deal and would last for a while. I am so so tired of barely getting by. [sid556]

Hello, Of course 1 million is my also number... however, I think people are never enough with money. Once they get this much then they will as for more... you know it never enough. But for me, if I have 1 million dollar I will go back home and then open a business there and never come back to the US. [smileonstar]

The money i want right now is 20 millions dollars. I will buy a new big home and sophicated island and construct a big factory and buying boeing flights and so on. Right now, i want to enjoy with more money. [jaggiking2001]

Lets see, I got $1300 stashed at home, 700 in my savings and about 40% in mixed currencies online and 3 pending jobs. [frozenimage]

I could use enough to pay off my house and credit cards. That is enough that is for sure. I think with me $75,0000 would pay off my mortgage and credit cards and have money left over. I am on a fixed income, but it doesn't pay all that much, a few small bills and my mortgage, with not much left over, so anything that I can make online would be extra. I hope that one of these days I can find something that will reaslly help me get the money I need, without me investing anything, as I have been scammed before and not going to do that again. I won't ay for anything as long as I can do it for free. That is why I am doing ptc sites as they are free, and they are paying some, and I am glad for that. Good luck to you and happy mylotting. happy [rosekiss]

I could really use around 2,000.00 I could pay all of my debts off, buy a good trailer and buy my child some new clothes. Oh and a good computer for myself. [katie472001]

I only want to have 2000USD now,because I want to pay my study fees! now the new semester is going to begin!!! [goodday]

instead of more money i would want satisfaction in my life,love and peace. That is the only thing i need in my life .Money is not everything.Money can make you happy but that is not real. That happiness is fake [nitingagneja]
