Happiness in Hawaii is $122,000 a year.

[Radiopeg]

I'm kinda happy, but, agree, a certain financial level is really important. I'd be really happy just to have $50K a year in my Puna life. Just having pets makes me happy, but really eats up the funds. I believe attitude is important. I don't need a fancy car, just a dependable one. Etc. I really like having friends, that makes me happy, and doesn't cost much. There are a lot of issues in the subject of happiness. Now that I am having so many health problems, I have to think good health is a part of happiness. I'd love to be able afford a couple hours a week of yard maintenance. That would make me really happy.

Peace and long life
