Everyone says that Godless people live unfulfilled lives. I am an atheist all the way and I feel very very blessed. I have my own house, a good job, plenty of food, all kids of good stuff. I don't exactly see what I am missing out on.

The only thing you are missing out on is what believers THINK you are missing out on. If you are generally fulfilled and happy in life, you're not missing out on anything!!

Me too neither. I like the term humanism as opposed to atheism. Says more about what I am, not what I'm not. Check it out.
Humanism is a philosophy of life inspired by humanity and guided by reason. It provides the basis for a fulfilling and ethical life without religion.
Humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values.
Humanists see no convincing evidence for gods, the supernatural, or life after death.
Humanists believe that moral values are properly founded on human empathy and scientific understanding.
Humanists believe we must live this life on the basis that it is the only life we'll have -- that, therefore, we must make the most of it for ourselves, each other, and our world.
Humanist philosophies have arisen separately in many different cultures over many thousands of years. Whether or not they use the term humanism, tens of millions of Americans and hundreds of millions of people around the world agree with the humanist philosophy of living a happy and productive life based on reason and compassion.

The Bible does not say that the godless will live unfulfilled lives. They just will not have fulfilled eternal life.
Psalm 1:4&6
The ungodly are...
...like the chaff which the wind drives away.
The LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

If you call it blessed then God is with you, Jesus said Love you enemies because God causes the sun to shine on the good as well as the wicked. God blesses even the atheists but without giving him the credit the after life will be well...Hell

It's after death in the afterlife that you will feel unfulfilled. Even murders and theives can live fulfilled lives but they lack the spiritual fullness and only feel the materialistic fulness. Missing out on God takes its toll.

blessed? blessed? Now define what blessed means to you! Because Blessed is blessed by GOD so if you feel like YOU have accomplished all this things then you are not blessed! A true atheist will never say blessed because they believe THEY and only THEY have accomplished all.

Where did the notion of being blessed come from?

It seems that your possessions are your treasures. I look at a good life in a little less physical way.
