50 ways to live life to the full: From wealth and health to love and laughter 8 May 2013 00:00 The findings of a survey reveal experiences and a loving family make us happier than material possessions like a big house or a flash car Getty It seems the old saying money can t buy you happiness really is true... But stop worrying about getting rich, learn to speak a foreign language or snog a stranger, and you ll find yourself on the path to life-long wellbeing. Researchers surveyed 2,000 adults aged 18 to 65 to compile the list of 50 essent ials for a fulfilled life. The top answer was that we needed to stop worrying about getting more money. Other responses ranged from finding true love to losing weight. Some are a bit more achievable than others. Most of us are delighted if we can manage one holiday a year rather than the two recommended, while paying off all our debts may be a far-off dream. Yet the findings of the survey reveal experiences and a loving family make us ha ppier than material possessions like a big house or a flash car. The poll was commissioned to mark the release of Oscar-winning film Life of Pi o n Blu-ray and DVD. A spokesman said: The research is really interesting because much of the top 50 l ist focuses on experiences and achievements rather than having more material pos sessions. "That s exactly what the term living life to the full means. On average we only manage to tick eight things off the list and just 23% of us t hink we get the most out of life.
