We all want to live a good life but what does it take for us to feel that we are?
Health, Money, and Meaning
In recent studies by MetLife, people 45 to 74 years old described “The Good Life” as:
Being spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically healthy
Having enough money not to worry about whether or not I can pay the bills
Engaging in meaningful activities
Money, Medicine, Meaning, & Place
Researcher and author Richard Leider identified four areas that make up “The Good Life:”
Money (having enough now and in the future)
Medicine (being emotionally and physically healthy)
Meaning (creating deep relationships, spending time with friends and family, enjoying personal interests, making things better for others, using your abilities to accomplish things that matter)
Place (feeling like you belong in your community)
