I was speaking with someone about my online pursuits and the goal I outlined of earning $5 per day from the web. Their response to me was why bother - it is just $5 per day - seems like a lot of work and I was already earning good money.

To me $5 per day is $5 more per day than I would have received had I not become involved in some web pursuits. That is approximately $150 more per month and $1825 more per year than I would have made without using the web to make a “little” money. What would I be able to do with an extra $1825:

1. Buy a Mac notebook computer
2. Take my wife and kids on a vacation
3. Donate $1600 more dollars to charity than I already do
4. Throw a kick-ass party in Canmore, Alberta with my closest friends
5. Sign up for a running race in Maui
6. Fill up a suitcase full of dollar bills and show them to my friend who doubted the point

And that is just the tip of the iceberg. $1825 is a lot, no matter who you are.
