It's simple the meaning of life is death so live well.
Why are we here no one knows, but while we are here we may as live well. Even if it means putting up with the BS of other people that care less if you have a descent life.
I'm just curious is money mans daily bread and why do we keep giving our children to such a cruel world when we could demand better?

The price of life is contribution. To make your life worthwhile you need to do something for society. It may be give a child a reason to live by contributing to a relief agency, it may be to save a life by donating blood. How You give back something for the opportunity you have had is up to You. Sometimes you do not even know how You gave something to society. Perhaps by donating to a charity they gave a needy person a necessary medical treatment. Down the road they may find a cure for a major medical problem. When You are able to do something for another person or perhaps an animal then Your life has more value. I hope You will find many chances to give back for the breath of life.

This is my belief:
We are here so that God can experience God's self.
God is absolute. In this state there are no contradictions and no relativity. Everything is constant, absolute.
God knows what God is, but the knowing of a thing and the experiencing of it are two entirely different things. For example you know what ice cream is, but experiencing the taste of it is different (and SO much better) than just intellectually knowing that it is frozen cream and sugar.
God created life as we know it so that God could experience God's self in the world of relativity through us, who are each an individuation of the whole.
God does not judge us for our actions...after this physical incarnation ends we will return to the spiritual dimension and decide if we want to stay or experience another physical incarnation. This is how we serve God.

Why are we here on earth?
Because we have chosen to incarnate in this material world in order to experience lessons of life. This is a school to learn and grow our souls. We learn by making choices and living with the consequences. We Discover knew things, take in Knowledge of these things and then practice the Wisdom of these things.

I believe my purpose in life is to make the most of the time I am given by enjoying life, doing well at what I do, helping others, and worshipping God. Sometimes I get side-tracked from my purpose though. =( I think that everyone is here for a reason, but they must discover what it is and it varies person to person. I believe that God has a plan for everyone.

We're here by the action of unthinking natural processes, and the meaning of your life can be whatever you want it to be. For myself, I didn't choose to exist, but now I'm here I want to enjoy life, bring up my kids well, leave the world a slightly better place than when I joined it, and die having no major regrets about what I have or haven't done in my life.

As a christian this is my belief, God created Man and woman(created Perfect, without sin) never to die, get sick or grow old or die) and placed them in the GARDEN OF EDEN and told them to have children, filling the earth with a Perfect human family, He gave them an assignment, satisfying work, to cultivate, or take care of the earth,(extending that garden to encompass the entire earth) and to care for the animals. That is the purpose of life. Satan messed things up for this long,(he caused Adam and Eve to sin, thus they lost perfection, that's why we get sick, old and die) but Soon God Will STEP IN and his purpose for life will be fulfilled, someday Gods vision will be accomplished, the entire earth will be a beautiful garden and humans will become perfectly healthy, living forever, enjoying life with satisfying work in complete happiness. If God wouldn't do so, Satan would win,God would be defeated, God is more powerful, His will is going to triumph. The purpose God had in mind for life, will be done.

Meaning can only exist if the product was created with intention. Same with purpose.
All life exists as a product of evolution. Herego, from a personal level, we have no meaning, and from a biological level, it would be to reproduce.

I believe that all human beings were put on this planet to enjoy life and express themselves through each one's personal gift that everyone posseses. Art is our most natural means of expression be it music, writing, composing, poetry, painting, dance, sculpture, etc. Our government, society, families, have done a horrible job of propagating the arts, our true calling. Without the art that each of us has been gifted with, we die a slow and miserable death.

The meaning of life is different for every person, b/c we gotta give life meaning...Some say their meaning of life is about serving God, others say it's about serving their loved ones, other say it's about prospering....Or contributing to the betterment of mankind....Etc.
We give life meaning cause the universe doesn't do it for us. We give ourselves value, b/c in the scheme of things, we don't really matter to anyone else but ourselves.
[Personally, I think that's why religion is so popular, but that's just my personal belief...Which has nothing to do w/ this. I believe religion gives us a greater meaning to our seemingly purposeless existence. Gives us purpose to be a certain way, and live life.....]
