When my friends ask me this question, I always give an example. Like Stephen Hawking, he was a very wealthy person, and he could do whatever he wanted with his money. But he wasn't healthy. He didn't have a healthy body. That's why I believe that the basic reason for happiness is being healthy. The second one is having a caring person around you. Maybe the third one could be money, but I don't believe that it's the fundamental thing for happiness.
