Count your blessings! You wont spend a dime, you wont need someone, you wont need a good ambiance, you wont need to exert energy. All you need is a little of your time to go through your list of blessings. When you know and realize how blessed you are. You will be happy and feel contented. Happiness is within us, we just have to find it. Have a good day!.

If we are to believe the message in lion's king, hakuna matata is a good way to be happy :p. Avoiding stress and unnecessary worries is free and makes life more enjoyable, also don't overreach for things beyond your abilities, no palace can make you happy if you have to suffer to keep it :).

hubby and i dont have much money and we sure dont have much money for entertainment so what we do is go for walks when its nice out and in the winter, we watch a lot of free dvds of old tv shows that we get from the library (i also read a lot. our library is a free service in our city.)

Live your daily life with a cheerful heart and a thoughtful mind. Be generous to friend and stranger alike in your worldly possession and personal wealth, mindful of your action without causing harm to other. Overlook daily trespasses against you and habor no hatre inside you toward those did you wrong. Happiness will come to you without spending a dime once you reach that stage of enlightenment.

even a small things will brings you happy if you know to control your heart and say this is enough for me. desire is the main reason for people who are not happy. even though they are good in many aspects,they will start worrying about what others are having. being jealous on others will take away our happiness. so don't be jealous and try to help others. being selfish is another thing which takes away the happiness. if you are selfless and not jealous then you wont suffer with stress. if stress is not there your life will be full of happiness. don't take your business tension to home and family tension to office. do your work on correct time. to avoid stress take a deep breath. go for a long walk and do meditation. teach a kid who is not having money to get good education. help poor and needy. these are the small reasons which will make you happy for life long.

going on walks, spending time with friends or family at your own places or if you live together to just watch tv or play a game together. I like going down to the park with my daughter and husband it takes zero money or going right outside to the pound outside of our complex where we live to feed the ducks with our own bread.

Well, if you have a pet, you can just spend some time grooming them or petting them. It will make your blood pressure go down. You can daydream too, about what your future might hold, or what you would like it to hold. You could write a poem or do something as in a hobby that doesn't cost anything. I have even heard excersize releases endorphins so it makes you feel happy.
