    IT Business don't make money Now days because there are alot of people who don't have clue about computers and got computer engineering degree, So those real people ( Like us ) will not find jobs.

    Anyway. Earning money is good, But it's HARD now days. I mean who didn't make good amounts of money old days to have the money safe he will not be good in future with this crisis.

    Prices in UAE still dam high, They dropped every where in the world, But not here. it's doubled or tripled most of times. Some Say that World fixing this crisis with Gulf Money.

    Don't worry. Money is just one of the things that can make us happy, but it is far from being the most important thing to keep us happy.

    That being said, i'd rather be happy and have money, than be happy and homeless. Being broke & homeless definitely takes a little bit of happiness away, so i'll keep my money :D

    I wouldn't say the ability to spend money makes people happy, it's the comfort in knowing that if they have it they dont need to worry about it.

    As in, alot (most i'd presume) dread it when a large bill comes through, expected or otherwise, being able to live without ever having to worry about juggling commitments, missing payements, finding excuses or needing to borrow must be a great feeling.... something too many rich people take for granted.

    I hate to say this but it's all oil and gas business. The career choice that is pretty much recession proof.

    Surely you must be trolling!

    If not, I put this to you: wouldn't a ton of money make parenting easier? You only worry about money when you're in danger of running out. Well, some idiots are preoccupied with getting more and more money even when they have a ton of it, but that's because they're retards with psychological compulsions and/or small genitalia. For us normal folk, money is the great facilitator - it's only a source of problems if you don't have enough. Which most of us don't.

    Right now I'm about the happiest I've probably ever been. Not because of money, but because being seriously ill I now realise just how good my friends and family are. Money can't buy real friends.

    If I was in my current situation but with £1million in the bank, and no support from friends/family I am fairly certain that I would be far from happy.

    With all that, saying that money doesn't bring happiness is rubbish - but only up until a point. IMO once you're financially secure (i.e. can afford bills, mortgage, food etc) it becomes a fairly moot issue and any effect it has on happiness soon levels off no matter how much you have.

    CK - with regards to your future, just study whatever interests you. Waking up every morning and having to go to a job that you hate just so that you can afford a bigger house is not going to make you happy. Waking up and going to a job you enjoy will.

    I imagine being only 16 you're going to be relying heavily on benefits/parents. If this financial support was suddenly dropped how happy would you be having a baby (that you love) to look after but being unable to feed/clothe/generally look after it? I dread to think what the minimum wage is for a 16 year old is... would it even cover the rent?

    I would be happier if I had more money but I chose to buy a house and a year before that I chose to buy a car.

    I can afford both but I can't afford to upgrade my PC or do any modding, which I used to really really love doing :(
