my home life is more important to me then anything. i quit a $60,000 a year job to stay home with my children because it's what i felt was the right thing to do for my family. i think some people can't get their priorities straight cause they still haven't figured out that money can't buy love yet. \n\npeople wake up no matter how sucessful or rich you are, what good will it be when you have no family, husband or wife to share it all with? there can be an ideal balance between the 2 for survival, but most just chase the buck and forget about what really matters.

I was told that acceptance of other people, things and yourself make you a happier person.  Do something that you genuinely love and helping other people in need are also helpful.

I definitely think people could use help on how to meditate or how to learn deep relaxation.  Now, I wouldn't find it relaxing to go to a strange place and have a stranger relax with me...that's a private sort of thing for me that I prefer to do in the comfort of my own peaceful environment.

I think its based on libido and lifestyle...   It can be very important to some and not to others.

It seems to suggest that to find happiness, you need to be satisfied with a few simple pleasures and not material possessions.

Making peace with myself.  Money is nice, relationship is nice.....but rather have peace with myself above all.  If have inner peace, then happiness usually follows. :-)

As it refers to personal happiness and the pursuit thereof, it certainly differs from person to person.  But traditionally, it has referred to the level of economic success wherein a person could afford to do such things as support oneself without government assistance, retire at a reasonable age with a comfortable lifestyle, and especially, own one's own home.  Many politicians even refer to home ownership as "the American dream."  BTW, I would also now add "send one's kids to college" to the mix, since more and more people are viewing a college education as a minimum requirement for economic success.

I don't think it is the money that makes people happy it is the things they get with the money. Alao, you can have airplanes and a multi-million dollar house and still be unhappy, unless you have someone to share it with. I think having people you love around makes having money alot happier. You getto enjoy the finer things in life.

Naturally, we have the media telling us how important it is.  We see it in magazines.  We get the peer pressure and prestige that seems to come from being with beautiful people.  It has been that way for quite awhile now, but the inner beauty is the one that lasts and the one that you really have to spend the time with.  I love my wife for her inner beauty not outer.
