What makes people happy for the long term? Romance, friendships, good health, puppies, and kittens.\n\nWhat doesn't? Money.\n\nYou've heard it ad infinitum, "Money can't buy happiness." Now there's scientific data to give the old saw new teeth.\n\nUniversity of Southern California economist Richard Easterlin surveyed 1,500 people over nearly three decades to see what puts a kick in their step and a smile on their faces. His results, published in September in the online edition of Proceedings for the National Academy of Sciences, reveal that time with family and good health are the stuff of happiness.\n\nYou will find the detailed study about happiness/money at this site:\nhttp://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/100/19/11176\n\nGood luck on your debate!\n\nWealth, on the other hand, doesn't necessarily lead to joy and contentment. One reason: People with more money usually want more things. More McStuff.\n\ns

If you believe that you will never be happy then you will never allow yourself to be happy and always doubt what you have. If we look at what is good in our current situation instead of all that is lacking we will feel better. A lot of happiness is controlling how the negative things effect us and rising above it.

Take a bath.  Get a massage.  Spend one hour of every day with no phone, no computer and nothing expected of you, and in that hour just relax, pray, and think about things that make you happy.  And eliminate extra stressors from your life, they will only drag you down.

Money is a tool, a means to an end.  If having lots of it does anything for  you, it gives you freedom and choices.  There is NO inherent happiness in money.  It can improve your standard of living, it can alleviate certain kinds of stress, but no amount of money--no matter how big or small--brings you real happiness.\n\nI admit that I never met a dollar I didn't like.  I do what I can to bring in as much as I can, but honestly, I'm happy with my life.  I make a decent living; not great, and probably not what men my age and education earn.  I absolutely adore the work I do, and have been making a living at it for over 30 years.  My wife and I both work, but don't consider it a necessity any more than the ability to pay the mortgage, car payment, gas, insurance, groceries, utilities, and whatever else is left over for fun.  I have so much to be grateful for that has absolutely nothing to do with money that I actually wonder how much happier I'd really be with all that much more.  I'm not sure I would.\n\nI think you have a notion of this in your question.  I just think that once you get to a point in your life when you don't have to scrape for everything, you'll be there--and it won't be nearly as much as you imagined.  I wish you happiness, success, and good luck!

You asked how to be happy and wholesome. Cool. You asked the question of non-Christian folk. OK. Lets remember what you didn't ask ... How to attain enlightenment, or get to heaven, or please any Deity. Fair enough. So we'll just stick to those first two things ... How to be happy ... Learn to be content with things as they are. That means to practice simple acceptance of other people, places, things, circumstances, etc. When you can accept things as they are you can live without trying to change those things or control those people or etc. You get the idea. While you're accepting others as they are in order to be happy don't forget to extend that same acceptance to your self. Its just a matter of letting everything be what it is, and knowing that its that way for a reason, and ... that's OK. So far ... HAPPINESS = ACCEPTANCE. Now, wholesome. A dictionary definition of "wholesome" is: #1; Promoting good health or wellbeing, healthful. #2; Improving the mind or morals. #3; Looking healty or vigorous. ... Whoa! You're not asking for much, are you? lol Its not that complicated, really. Give life a little thought. Keep your self and your space clean. Get some exercise. Try to eat a ballanced diet. Take a multiple vitamin daily. The health aspect isn't all that hard. That part about improving the mind and morals? A little more work. Improve the mind? Exercise it a little. Read. Watch a little History Channel. I think you know how to exercise your mind already. Just do it consistently. Your morals? That's simple. Simple ought never be confused with easy. Pick a moral code, and ... LIVE IT! Which one? Hey, not my call. Suggestions? Sure. Center your life on (and you don't have to be any of these things to use something they have that YOU find useful) ... The Wiccan Reede. The Jewish 10 Commandments. The "Golden Rule" of Jesus. Whatever. Picking is the easy part. That's simple. Now, living it, that's another story. Be consistant, but be loving with yourself when you make a mistake too. Just DON'T GIVE IT UP! BE CONSISTANT! And last, but not least, get out of self. You do that by helping others and being there for them. It also gives you the exercise you need in acceptance AND your morals. Neither of those work well in a void. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ ;-)

My psychology teacher had said that most happy people aren't wealthy. Money tends to make people selfish, greedy and mean.\nI wouldn't mind having some though!! \nSeriously, I'm poor, but I'm happy.
