    I would say enjoying your job, being your own boss and the ability to enjoy every day is what makes up the good life.

    good health and family is a given ;)

    Sad but true, Money makes the world go round. Most the time you can't afford a 'Good' life without the cash.

    How does a yard or garden even make that list? :)
