Well, think of it this way ... it is in your brain and body that the chemical processes involving happiness occurs. It is going to happen in you if it happens at all.
If you are incapable of being happy it doesn't matter whether it is you who are the source of happiness or someone else. You won't be able to to happy for long.
If you find that others CAN "make" you happy but you cannot do it for yourself, then maybe it is your belief that you can't and perhaps a lack of experience that are the culprits. You can certainly do something about that.
Besides, people who can make themselves happy and are self-reliant are more attractive.
As for education, there are a number of grants and scholarships that are available. Do you want a sponsor or a sugar daddy?
I knew a girl who had a sugar-daddy. Her life was a miserable roller-coaster because of her dependence on this man. Whether she was happy or practically suicidal with depression depended on whether or not he called that day. Do you want that?
You can also be happy without being rich. A lot of rich people are freaking miserable.
