satisfying money - correct?

[angelene001]

Is it possible to say:
"You can earn satisfying money"

It doesn't work for me. I'd say 'You can earn good money'.

 

[angelene001]

It doesn't work for me either but it doesn't mean it isn't acceptable
I would go for "good money", too.

Still, I would like to see a native speaker's opinion.

The money might be "satisfactory."

 

[angelene001]

But "satisfactory money" would be just "good enough money", right?
Is it better to say "earn good money" when I mean "earn a lot of money" than to say "earn satisfactory money"?

Yes. "Satisfactory" is nothing to brag about.

You might use it sarcastically if you wanted to avoid answering a question about your salary with an actual figure.

- How much do you earn?
- Oh, let's just say my salary is perfectly satisfactory, thank you. (Maybe with a little nod and a wink!)

Thank you.
