Scientifically:
meaning of life can be solved answering 5 questions:
What is the origin of life?
What is the nature of life?
What is the significance of life?
What is valuable in life?
What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?
Philosophy of the meaning of life:
While scientific approaches to the meaning of life aim to describe empirical facts about human existence[citation needed], philosophers are more concerned about the relationship between ideas[citation needed]. For example, philosophers have considered such questions as: 'Is the question "What is the meaning of life?" a meaningful question?';[1]; 'What does the question "What is the meaning of life?" mean?'[2]; and 'If there are no objective values, then is life meaningless?'[3] Some philosophical disciplines have also aimed to develop an understanding of life that explains, regardless of how we came to be here, what we should do now that we are here (such as humanism)
Existentialist views of the meaning of life:
Arthur Schopenhauer offered a bleak answer to "what is the meaning of life?"by determining one's life as a reflection of one's will and the will (and thus life) as being an aimless, irrational, and painful drive. However, he saw salvation, deliverance, or escape from suffering in aesthetic contemplation, sympathy for others, and asceticism. Søren Kierkegaard invented the term "leap of faith" and argued that life is full of absurdity and the individual must make his or her own values in an indifferent world. For Kierkegaard, an individual can have a meaningful life(at least one free of despair) if the individual relates the self in an unconditional commitment to something finite, and devotes his or her life to the commitment despite the inherent vulnerability of doing so
What I believe for now:
Life is a cycle of following events..
1. kÄma: achieving Sensual pleasure and enjoyment
2. artha: achieving Material prosperity and success
3. dharma: Following the laws and rules that an individual lives under
4. moksha:achieving Liberation from the cycle of samsara(or the cycle of other 3)
we thrive to achieve any one of these.. but achieving moksha or salvation is the ultimate goal of every life...
Hope this helps?!

Well, you might want to check with Monty Python...
Seriously, you've GOT to know that is a really big question. Are you willing to stipulate the answer might be different for different people? If not, I can't help you at all, because my answer would start by asking you to consider what do YOU consider significant to your life, what will make you feel complete, successful, content, happy, in an ongoing manner? Then you can develop your own meaning.

life= sex/love, drugs, alcohol. making babies, recovering from addiction, drinking away all your problems. getting old, from things you did when you were young, and drinking some more.
but there's no life without somebody to share all of this with.
