I can't think of any decent reason to post this

I'm gonna anyway,


I'm over the moon, I got an offer of a new job the while back and finally sat down this morning with the new boss to learn my wages today.



It's 10k more than I was expecting! , I nearly started laughing in the meeting. I've been smiling all the way home, I randomly burst into laugher I'm amazingly happy. I've been dreaming of Hypermotard for a while now I can seriously think about it

So for the sake of the thread what has made you so happy you maniacally burst into laughter at random intervals. No talk of Kids being born please

Whoever said money can't buy you happiness may be right, but the idea of it makes me ecstatic. So on the to buy list next year, house with a garage and a Hypermotard 1100s



Today is a brilliant day

Laid off by Christmas.

Nice one!

I could do with an extra £10,000 a year.... it would cover all my student fees and loans! You must be pretty happy, no more night shifts and an extra £10,000!

When I pasted my motorbike test I road home grinning like a special. There are others but I am not going into detail

I've struggled financially at times in my life and now i'm reasonably comfortable.
Whilst money gives you more choice and freedom to do as you please, it does not buy you happiness. Money just buys you stuff and that stuff gives you pleasure, but pleasure is a short lived emotion, whereas happiness is a state of mind.
The things that truly give you happiness is family & friends and health. Without that money means jack shit.

Fair enough, I get abit overly defence about stuff like that, some people seem to assume because you have nice stuff you haven't earn't it. Although being fair I honestly don't think I can justify the money I will be getting, not that I'm complaining.

The Job may sound boring but to me it is really interesting. I look taking bikes apart, I call love taking PC's apart and understanding software. Plus where I'm going I get I really good grounding in multiple systems and databases. This means progress from here to a super techy 3rd line roll should be easy in a few years either that or project managing but I would honestly prefer a techy roll.


I'm like a mechanic, but with databases and data movement.

Congratualtions.

Last year I got a back dated payrise which should have induced some sort of ear to ear based grin but it didn't mostly due to how much was left after the tax man got his slice.

Also, and I say this entirely with out rancour: Citing not being able to buy a headstock bearing for your RXS resulting in it being taken of the road, isn't exactly pushing the envelope in terms of poverty.

Now if you'd said 'tin of tesco basic beans for your tea...'

If anyone genuinely believes money can buy you happiness then your very naive.

I'm no happier now that I have a decent income than when I was proper poor at college.

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Gis a quid.


Nice one. Wish I was earning 14k more than I am now, I might be on a decent wage then.

The thing is, at this level it's never going to be enough. A few grand here or there, from a material point of view, there'll always be something just beyond your means.

Now, the euromillions jackpot is £51 million apparently. I think that might make even me, a confirmed miserable bastard crack a smile. But only in terms of those material things in life, spiritually it'll probably do more harm than good.

Generally these days, I have enough. It would be nice to have a wee bit more, but money worries are relative; £25k pa or £50k pa, different amounts, similar worries.
