I have had some issues with depression myself. When I started college I was aimless, I didn't really have hobbies (I only killed time by playing vidya), I had friends but I never opened up to them, I was kind of floating around. This aimlessness made me reach for the bottle and drugs one too many times and I became addicted. The next three years were a complete blur, I barely remember anything from that point of my life.
Then I had a near death experience and it really sobered me up. I realized my life was empty and many time killers I enjoyed previously stopped being fun. I can barely play vidya. I don't have anything against people who play video games, but it's no longer something for me. I decided to get hobbies, I started spending quality time with friends and I got a part time job as an English tutor. The last one really helped. I'm not saying that getting a job will make you happy, but for me this job was a combination of two things I enjoy - helping people and making money. I am paid 10 euros per lesson, it's actually okay money for my country.
So to answer your question, how much money is required to cure depression - for me it's those 10 euros per hour.
