This paper deals with the subject of how homeless people feel in relation to their lives, and the prospective of future change in relation to how happy they consider themselves, based on interviews and analysis of data obtained from several social surveys I carried out among 104 homeless people between 2004 and 2010 in several Argentine cities and slums. Contrary to common thought, many homeless did not feel unhappy about their economic conditions. The reasons for this are considered in the conclusion.
