I am sometimes happy. It is hard not to involve money in the equation because money is a tool. I am happy about where my life is heading professionally, however not happy about the idea of not having the money to get there.

These days I have decided to put most of my time and energy to doing things that I love and interest me (hence my lack of posts around here lately), however money is a constant struggle. I still love my life and everything in it. Money is just a small part of it. If there is something I want and I cannot afford it I know there are other ways of getting it. And no i am not talking about clothing, bags, entertainment, etc. I am talking about things that will change my life. Right now I want education. I have a university degree (and $26K of debt to show for it), but there is something else I want to pursue that requires more learning and costs money. However right now I cannot afford it so I am in the process of finding someone who will take me on as an apprentice. I am desperate, but I am not going to sit around and whine. I have been putting myself out there, going places, meeting people.
 
Ways to be happy:

1. Stop Being a Dick
2. Stop Whining
3. Get Out, Get Some Exercise, Unplug, and Deal with Real People
4. If People Are Treating You Like Crap, Then Let Them Go
5. Your Critics Are Always Right
6. Do Hard Stuff for a Change
7. Let Stuff Go/Suck It Up
 
good poll

i have my moments, mostly i'm in good spirits and try to make others feel good. when you give what you can to others it could be food, a hug, or just a smile, it makes you feel awesome. if you cry and bitch it does nothing but stress you out and make you grow old fast.

Good Advice Stang, I'm happy after seeing your ways to be happy and after viewing the lady in your avatar..........
 
I vote YES.

Never give up. Never, never, never, ever give up. You will piss off alot of people until finally to stop being pissed, they do what you propose.

Gyaos.
 
I think a much better question is, on the whole, are you content.

Being happy most of the time is usually unnatural so you end up with skewed results of "unhappiness."

If the world would strive to be content rather than happy, a lot of the unhappiness that stems from not being able to achieve the desired level of happiness would go away.

My 2 cents.
 
I am in great health, money could be better but I am not in debit.

The weather totally stinks, other that that life is good :D
 
Few of us are universally happy or sad. So therefore one would expect "sometimes" to be ahead. The question is more (which I suspect some of us are actually answering) "in general do you tend to feel more happy or sad" or "in general do you think others see you as happy or sad"
 
Well I have enough money to get laid if I want to so I'm happy. However, I think I'll just hold on to my money for now, but it's good to know that there is this last resort so I have to keep a small savings in case of an emergiency and I have to see an escort to get laid. No such emergiency ever came though and I don't see the rationale of using an escort for now.

But, if I'm too broke to go with a escort and feel like I'll be a perpetual virgin then that sucks. Back in the years before I used to be really broke and was wondering if I'd have to go two weeks without food to afford a 30 minute session with a woman so I can see how a woman feels like.
 
As my father always said "Don't let the bastards get you down". I kinda struggle this time of the year, I find it more of a challenge dealing with work stress during the dark months. I am happy however, there is too much in life to be thankful for.
 
Easy answer; yes and no.
There are parts of my life that make me really happy, there are parts of my life I am not happy with, but working on those. Change is mine to make.

With regards to the money references, to quote the Liverpool poets; Money can't buy me love....Shades post script; but you can rent it for an hour or two :D
