i got it that enjoing life means enjoing the simple things in life and being with the ones that are dear to you, who love you in return. is it really true, or am i on the wrong side of the road, because i can`t seem to enjoy life if i haven`t got money. Maybe it`s the materialist in me...

be contented with what you have, your family, friends, a house to live in. but money is another thing. we need it, whether we like it or not, we must work for money because we need it for our daily needs.

each and everyone of us have different ways of defining the meaning of enjoying life i feel. i don't think there's a specific meaning to it. it just depends on the situation for the individual. but as the earlier person said, i too feel that we tend to enjoy life when we are contented with ourselves and happy. that's when we enjoy life. i do have just enough for myself but like you, i too feel myself short of money sometimes. i guess i'm materialistic too. i'm not satisfied with what i have you could say. like the saying goes, the more we have, the more we get greedy and start wanting for even more. but this is human nature i guess. oh well.

Enjoying life means being contented with what you have and being able to appreciate simple things in life. Your love ones and friends around are enough reason to enjoy life. Though human as we are we also need money to enjoy life and its normal. I think its not being materialistic, since money is also one of our basic needs or something that could help us realize our life basic requirements.
