So many people seem to be unhappy with the circumstances in their life, so here's my question. What is it that will make you happy? Are things going as you planned? Are you happy or unhappy? What would need to change for you to enjoy life more? Is it money?

So basically material things? Is there anything else that is free that could help you be happy? Family? Friends?

if you are financially stable, everything follows. you are happy because you have food in the table, you are happy because you have clothes to wear. you are happy because you can send your kids to school. money plays a vital part in our lives. Lets face it, you can't be who you want to be if you dont have money. people will ignore you if you do not have money because in our society, people look up to those people who are moneyed. get it? I'm not saying i want to be as rich as paquiao because honestly, i will never be able to find ways how to spend that large amount of money. hahaha. i live a simple life so, most probably 1/4 of paquiao's earnings is enough. hahahaha.

I agree that while money doesn't buy happiness, it is very important. Stress undermines happiness, and there is nothing more stressful than not being able to pay bills or buy needed items. Being financially stable is KEY!

Hi there! What makes me happy is the presence of my family. There are times when we have misunderstandings but even when given a chance, I wouldn't want to have another family but them. I am happy but it would make me happier if my loved ones would live somewhere reachable from where we live that it wouldn't take an airplane ride to see them.

It's tough when loved ones are further away. Luckily, with the internet and tex messaging it is so much easier to contact people than ever before. All families have misunderstandings, but it is their love and devotion that makes them a family!

As of now I think what will make me happier is money. I wanted to buy lots of things like a fully furnished house with a cute fountain and garden, a car, trust funds for my parents and siblings, a new watch for my fiance and some more so I can travel around the world. I'm not saying that I'm not happy with what I have right now. I have a loving fiance, but I want to help him build our dreams. I also want to help my family before getting married.

Money is nice, and so is building dreams...BUT don't build your whole world based on what you would like to have. Focus on being happy with your fiance and your dreams will come as you work towards them!

How do you judge how happy your marrried life is? What is it that completes you? Do you have lofty goals and high expectations for your children?

As I have grown older , my priorities in life have changed. I used to think of how happy I would be if I have this much and so money. But then again, I noticed that the more I long for worldly possessions that less happy I become. So, I felt I need to do a little tweaking in what makes me happy. Now, I enjoy having joyous moments with my nieces and nephews. A good program that I watch, and this plain , plain Vanilla Ice Cream!!!

I always thought that material things could make up for bouts of unhappiness, but the truth is they don't. I much rather be relaxed and live within my means. The material things are no longer the priority. My loved ones are!

well money, good health and good friends i think will make happy. Things going as you planned? im planning on speaking my heart out with one of my best friends but don't want it to be akward if i got rejected or not rejected. Only time will tell if there is a right time or not so planning never really works for me

there si so many things can make me happy,it's not only the money.like that when i can get up later and have a enough sleep,it also can make me happy,if i can eat so many apples,i will feel very happy too.so i think the happy is very easy,the important things is that what we think,what we want,if our demand is very simple,i think it's also very easy for us to be happy
