Enjoying life isn't about luxury or money. I guess you should make your family realize that it's not good to be materialistic. Having a quality time with them, talking about sweet nothings while eating your the favorite dish of the whole family is enjoyable enough. I admit that my family doesn't have much money, but the love that we share to each other by having some bonding moments is enough for us to enjoy life.

There are many hidden assumptions in what you say. First of all, why do yo think your family will be happy when you get a lot of money? Second, why is your family unhappy? Is it the financial strain? Is it other pressures on life? Is it other family problems? Next, how to make yourself happy. Your big problem is worries. The question is how much the worries are based on reality. How much of that reality can you change? Finally, what are your personal priorities in life?

Well, you don't really need money to spend time together. You could get together and have coffee (at home), play games, just go over and catch up.. Spending time with your family is a good way to (start) being happy.

Me and my family don't have money or let's say lots of money. We can only live our day to day lives through the small amount of money my father is receiving from his job but i can say that we are still happy. It's not only money that can make a family happy. My family is happy because we have good health, we are still blessed to have a home and food to eat 3times a day (unlike the others, they really don't have anything..the poorest of the poor :( ), and we are still living together and standing up despite all the challenges we are facing financially.

Money isn't everything. It is not the end of all things too. Yes you can make people happy by buying stuffs and things that makes them happy. But there are other simple and cheap ways to make them happy. Like going on a simple outing together with the family. Going to the public park or eating together and watching movies on TV. As for finding more ways to earn money. I think you must try to find a more regular and stable source of income for you to support your family.
