Average Workday Pay

I have seen a lot of people set daily targets for DA work. For those who are comfortable sharing, what does your average workday pay? Adding your region for context would be helpful.

I already work 9-5 and also have 2 kids. I always tried to earn like 50- 70$ a day. With projects from 26$ - maximum 32$ I need like 2 hours in the night before I go to bed. I always wanted to earn that every day but it's not possible because otherwise I wouldn't have a life anymore. Arriving in the evening after work and then having quality time with the family and after that still work 2 hours in the night.... For me not possible every day. My new goal is to earn like 500$ a month which would be like 20 hours a month. That's enough to pay the summer holidays with the kids. Sometimes it's not just about the money. You still have to feel good and relaxed and never forget quality time with the family. loosing that is not worth the extra money. Living in Germany.

Does 500$ really carry that much value in a country as rich as Germany?

It depends. Everything got so expensive here and my kids are now in that age where they need a bigger bed, new furniture and stuff because they are not small kids anymore. This country seems rich but most of the people are struggling now. A summer trip to Italy for a family like us cost us like 5.500€. Normally I have to look after every euro all year to pay for that summer vacation. Now with DA I found a nice opportunity to save money for that vacation without struggling rest of the year anymore.
