Consider the following:
Job satisfaction
Loving family
Good health
Plenty of money
Strong religious beliefs
Etc
For me, it'd be good health. I've always prayed for good health.

All of them, if life permits. They are not mutually exclusive (i.e) the presence of one, doesn’t connote the absence of the other.

Cooling off in my village apartment away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Not obligated to wake up in the morning and go to some miserable white collar job.

Good health. (Health like they say, is wealth). If you feel dirt poor but healthy, then it might be eye-opening to visit the mortuary, or/and hospitals with patience suffering from uncurable diseases that make their money completely useless.

The second would be meaning and purpose. Like Frederich Nietzsche once said, ''He that has a ''why'' can bear any ''how''. For one to properly orientate himself and match into the future with a healthy mind and assurance, he must be purposeful, that no matter what happens and the struggle he faces, he will keep matching with the burning hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The third will be money. Most of your life problems will be solved if you have money. Life is a race against time, and with money, you will be flying while others are crawling. The house you shall buy cash in your 20's, others will buy on mortgage and do all kinds of job to pay off in to their 50's. Flying all around the world while many can't even go to the next city due to finance. So yea, the next on my list is money.

The fourth will be a legion of love and bond. So talk about family, my dog, my friends, and a host of belonging communities (e.g sport buddies, church). For someone to feel really healthy within, they need to feel loved, and also love someone (otherwise you're a psychopath right?). Having all of the above without a community of love is an empty existence that opens one to all kinds of vulnerability. You need your tribe, like a lion, to match and conquer the world.

With the above, I can only tell you that life is good. I am good to go. Who is joining me?

I just liked your comment. But just to be sure it’s only the second sentence I love madly.

Not being obligated to run off to any job.

As for the first, why not a home on an exclusive part of town, away from too many neighbors and noise? Preferably on a hill.

Why are you moved ?
Re: What Can Make You Happy In The Long Term? by pozehnani(f): 3:23pm On Mar 24, 2021
Everything put together. One cannot replace the other.

Let's be realistic. if you have good health without money to buy basic necessities of life, you won't be satisfied and you will end up sad. Ever heard the saying, a hungry man is an angry man? Let's not deceive ourselves just to appear good.

I shall have everything on the list. shocked

Actually, village in my comment up there simply refers to what you just describe. And almost like you read my mind, my apartment, my early retirement home, is surrounded by rocks, located in a certain middle belt town known for its cool weather. wink

You are quite right. But you need wealth to enjoy wealth because health is wealth.

That was why I said one cannot forego the other. If you're healthy and fall sick without money, how would pay for medicals? The illness worsens and the person dies. tongue. So, it's safe to say they all work together for our good.
