Oh, I wasn't trying to be critical. I really didn't understand. Language, as you know, is sometimes used differently in different regions (ie, UK vs. U.S.). So, I wasn't sure of the meaning.
So, if I understand, you were meaning an insubstantial amount of money or a small amount of money. An amount that indicated you weren't overly committed to the cause: non-committal.
