How to use a qualifier before the word 'money'?

Question

I want to qualify the word 'money' using the words good, decent, etc. But I am not sure how to use them. Do I have to say a good amount of money or a decent amount of money? Or just good money or decent money? Can I use good and decent interchangeably?

Answer 1

'a good amount of money' and 'a decent amount of money' have similar meaning.
