    The hunger for the money never stops for INV! The more I gain the more I want. It's not about the money, its about the success! Money is just what I use to represent it!

    Its a real pain using Adsense, but selling other stuff would not be as difficult.

    Considering money as a guage to someone's happiness is simply insane.

    I beg to differ, seeing my kids smile and to hear "I love you dad" brings me happiness and boy is it ever getting more and more expensive to get those rugrat monsters to say it and smile. In 5 years the first will hit 16 and that "I love you dad" is going to cost me about 15K, so you see money is buying me happiness.

    Now keeping the wife happy so she keeps me happy, I could use all the money in the world.

    As for the original question, I am happy as long as my daily average keeps rising.

    Money is just a way of keeping score.

    What fun would football be if they didn't keep score?

    To echo some previous comments, money doesn't buy happiness (although it does make it easier). But for example, I did a Cub Scout campout with my 7-year old son (not his first campout, but first time for Cub Scouts and first time w/o his younger brother). Cost was negligable ... but sure was fun! ;-)

    Agreed... it's not about the money, but the money is a good way to measure the success at whatever you were doing. Since that's the case, I don't think people are ever happy because they always think they can do more. If it actually WAS about the money, then you could put a specific number on it.

    If it was *just* about money, I would be fine with $500/day. As a measurement of success, $100k/day seems like a good number (until I reach it). :)

    I think when it comes to money you can never be happy. I was earning around $15 a day on my old site just with adsense. Now when i have sold it, its my target to get my current website to the same level.

    Unlike Shawn, I prefer to set realistic goals. 50K/day would be it for me :D
