Can money buy u happiness?

then get a job!

[quote="Sirus"]then get a job![/quote]

:roll:

working makes me unhappy-too lazy to work

even job seeking tires me out

money can buy you a certain degree of happiness , but not total happiness

it also varies according to the individaul

to a poor / starving person - money will make them the most happiest person in the world

to a rich person - money is worthless

Personally i think those african people who are farmers (nomad/bedouin)are much happier than any millionaire could be, they live such peaceful , happy lives , no worries, no bills, no backstabbing/cuniving/jealous people to worry about.

So money cannot always buy you happiness but it can get me a ferrari - that would make me happy D

My parents say that to me all the time but I can't find one...

Either you're too lazy or you're lying which is it?

Btw I'm talking here about part-time jobs, not full time.
I'm lazy but that's not the reason.

I've given my cv out to loads of shops by hand.
Used the internet to look for jobs.
Signed my name at college to help me get a job.
Went to a few interviews but still unsuccessful.

I don't know how you guys find it so easy to get a job.
The part-time jobs I've been offered clashed with my college timetable so had to refuse it. Wanted a weekend job.

I am looking for a job too and it is tough even though i have experience but i have to say i aint doin enough to look for one...

I agree money defo helps bring happiness, right now i am "depressed" coz i cant shop and i want to so badly 🙁

The other day i brought these two dresses and they cost me 50 quid normally that is reasonable but since i am skint its not too good!

Angel the solution to your problem...marry someone rich 😉

Atleast you got experience so it can't be that hard and you're also close to graduation so you're much better off when compared to me 🙁

Also you're able to buy dresses...I've got to sew my clothes when they are torn :roll:

lol...the only problem is in my field of work i don't have experience hence its gona be tough getting a job however i just need something over summer for the time being which can help me get financially stable, i only have 180 quid in my account which is going towards an Islamic camp (Al Hidayah).

I am not able to buy dresses anymore no money 🙁

Oh but on the bright side my b'day is on tueday 😃 so i'll ask everyone to just give me money!

The ironic thing was that I did my work experience in a job centre lol

So that would mean you got no money in your bank account...how will you survive?

Why do you need to buy dresses...wear the ones that you already have. Or are you one of those people who wear their clothes once and throw them out...my psychology teacher does that.

How old you gonna be...let me guess...23?

Angel I have been working non stop for two years now, and youp are still far far richer than me.

and you got 1 years cold calling sales experience. Make sure you mention that anytime and everywhere you can.

It shows strength of character, determination, and a will to succeed. 'When I worked for a year in a cold sales environment I found...'

Learn a few big words.

Get a few cheesy phrases for the interviews.

'While obviously money is important to me, what I want more is to succeed in life. I want to move up the career ladder. Quickly. How long does it take to become a manager? (and then smile with a short chuckle or giggle so as not to threaten the interviewer's job...)'

But that may be out of date. Not had an interview in two years, and when I ask myself interview questions, I would fail myself!

btw what are you looking for a job in?

Wrong thread loool

The teacher has been teaching me for 2 years so I should know. I've never seen him wear something twice...in college I mean. I'm not going through his wardrobe if thats what you think.

Sorry...phew for that. I thought everyone was old in here lol

No one is old here except for Admin and Ed hehe 😂

i know how u feel angel

i use my student loan to buy dresses and boots

its a poor life 😢

I think the problem with girls is that they wanna buy the first thing they see but boys look for a bargain and are more patient so they get to save a lil bit of cash.

I'm getting a student loan, it's not that bad is it...

That's not true, i dont buy the first thing i see, I have to like sumthin a lot in order to buy it, i am very fussy so i dont just pick up anything.

Well depends how much you are allowed to take out, for me it wasn't really a problem as i didn't take out a loan jus depended on my part-time wage which was good i guess....being broke is not fun!

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]Research at the University of Warwick has shown that money can definitely buy you happiness.

simple question-do answer it

Can money buy u happiness?[/quote]

To a certain extent it can. But 1st you have to define what hapiness is. Peoples outake on hapiness varies for example some people might think hapiness is having a Ferrari but someone else may think hapiness is seeing his neighbour out of poverty.

Money can certainly help you have an easier life when it comes to material things. But overall money can only buy you hapiness to a certain extent once youve reached youre limits and you have everything, money cannot help you then. Only inner peace will.

And that inner peace and hapiness comes from knowing that you have pleased youre creator and you hace pleased youre family and friends.

Mo money mo problems.

Most rich people are very unhappy and most poor people are very happy.

It depends what kind of person you are, wether you are worldly or for the akhira, (hereafter).

Ok, let's put it this way. You are walking around a shop and you see something you like...alot!

Girls will buy it straight away.

Boys will say, let's check out other shops to see if they have the same thing.

Not always.

It depends on if you have earned the money or not.

If its given to you, you are more likely to be careless about it.

If you earnt it, you know how hard you worked for it. You will not want to waste it as much.

i do that, my eyes get greedy when i go shopping lol

Admin I was talking about it in general.

But buying something you really really like (and need like clothes) is not wasting, is it...

Well if i liked something and i really needed this thing and I saw it, I would buy it striaght away, something that I do need but not as much I would shop around for....you're generalising

Yes I'm generalising.

Ok then, [i]most[/i] boys shop around for bargains instead of [i]all[/i] boys.

Nah still not happy, you should have not said anything in the first place about girls shopping :twisted: What do u know about girls shopping unless..... :shock: nah, are you a girl? :shock:

We girls love to shop but we still know our boundaries....

It's way past my bed time...wasalam

Actually it was you first who said dresses so I blame you for making me mention about shopping 😛

No I'm not a girl...didn't my avatar give you a clue :?

I've seen the way girls shop and I've been shopping with girls so I've got a preety good idea.

Bro, you shud just not have mentioned girls and shopping you're asking for trouble imo.
But if you were you shouldnt have taken it back.... they can sense your fear.!!!!
