Abstract/Summary
This study aims to know what is a satisfying life for selected single adult men and women. Twenty-eight (28) respondents were selected using chain referral and interviewed using interview guide questions to determine their notions of a satisfying life and what factors are important in achieving it. Grounded theory was the method used for analysis in which data was divided into meaning units, coded and looked for patterns according to the research problems for each income level. These clusters that were similar with each other were then further grouped into categories. Such categories were then looked for similarities among the income levels. A model was created to wholly explain the patterns that emerged across income levels. Results indicate that for the low income group, it is their family that gives them satisfaction, for the middle income group, it is their work while for those in the high income group it the help they give to other people. It was also seen that across the three income levels, the factors that were most important in attaining a satisfying life were money, their work and their spirituality. The researchers then concluded that the life satisfaction of a single adult depends on the way one uses one's available resources.
