maybe, i contemplated this the whole winter break but as my issue is that neither of my laptops are in good condition i feel it can because i can go to the technician near my uni to troubleshoot. i want to dispose my older one and for my current one to get fixed.

Hi,

Money cant buy happiness but lack of money can make life a real struggle and contribute towards depression.

There's some unwritten rules with money-

Always strive to have more money coming in than what's going out
Lack of money usually means either you need to earn more money or spend less.
It's normal to want and need more money
Make saving a ritual
Think outside the box with ways to earn money
Dont take "no" for an answer.

When unemployed in 1992 I walked my then town of 1100 people and knocked on every door asking if they wanted a lawn mowing service. Not one home owner wanted one. I went home and my wife said "thats the end of that idea then". I refused, I then walked past every house again and put a flyer in every letterbox. At the end of the day, exhausted, my wife told me she had 6 calls and the next day 6 more. In fact it was a country town and in 3 months I had to purchase a new ride on lawn mower to keep up.

I'm a lot older now. In the town I now live in there's a teenage boy that walks the whole town pulling a petrol lawn mower to mow lawns. He told me he is busy but also may owners give him extra tips.

So I hope I've helped.
