Hi, I am making some extra income online. Now, I have some savings that are enough for me to buy the stuff I like such as mobile phone, laptop and DSLR camera. But I am planning to use the saving to invest in stocks to make more money. Do you think that I should spend the money on stuff I like or invest the money?

Your investment consiciousness is worthing for us to learn. I know saving and investing is another way to earn money, and it will be simpler than earning. However, we need knoe your detailed economic state, then can give you suggestion. What do you think of it?

I am still a student. Most of my money comes from online extra money. So, I am working very hard for more money and make my investment plan work the way I want it to be. It is very hard.

Well,I think the most effective way to be happy and enjoy you life is to give more than what you take.I think the less requirements of others and himself he has,the happier he will be.If you want to enjoy your present life,you can do everything you want to do.Maybe you can buy stuff for youself and your family or friends.How I wish I could have enough money to do what I want to do!Good luck,friend.

Hi, Thanks. Actually, you are right. Now, I realize that I am not happy because I spend most of my money in my investment plan. I cannot buy the stuff I like and I cannot do the thing that I want to do because I need to stick to my investment plan. It is truly a tough life.

1. Learn to be positive! If you keep moaning about your life, other people will only notice the bad aspects of your character and categorize you as a person who is 'Boring' - or worse! Who wants to spend time with a wet blanket! 2. Make a list of all the things you want to do and do them! If you've always wanted to audition for theater, then go ahead and do it! This will help to reduce 'hanging around' and wishing. This even applies if you want to be an astronaut : you might not effectively become one, but becoming savvy in astrophysics and space will make you realize that you're capable of it. 3. Keep trying. One of the key things that you need to remember is to never be discouraged; failure is a part of life, and it happens naturally. If you are so disillusioned that you never want to try again, at least be comforted by the fact that you made an attempt. 4. Stop doing things that you do not enjoy. Make a list of the things that you are doing that you don't enjoy, and try to stop doing them. Naturally, this shouldn't mean that you should drop out of school if you don't like studying, but you might consider working for a new company if you are constantly stressed and pressured by your job. If it's not possible to stop, try to see the positive side of those things and find ways to make them entertaining. Nobody enjoys cleaning the kitchen fan or the toilet but if you do these chores with full awareness and make them into a meditation, you will be surprised how quiet your mind will become and how much happiness these chores will give you. 5. Find a hobby. You might take up collecting stamps or coins, or you might learn more about photography or art. You don't have to spend your entire life doing it; the whole purpose of the hobby is to vary your routine and do something worthwhile. 6. Stop watching TV or at least limit the amount of time you spend in front of the idiot box. Watching TV is passive entertainment and enjoyment in life comes from trying and doing things yourself instead of watching other people do things. Watching people swim is not the same as swimming. Watching other people hike or climb a mountain is not the same as hiking or climbing mountains. This is pretty obvious but still many people prefer second hand experiences to living life to the full. The same goes for playing TV or computer games hours on end. Go out and do something. You will feel healthier too.
