How to maintain 100 happiness without spending gold.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this

Working Training or Studying costs you 1 happiness per hour spent doing so.

Each hour spent relaxing increases your happiness by 1 and the free booster grants you an additional 1

The formula I've been given to determine happiness gained at the end of the day is as follows

Happiness increase = (1.5 - (current happiness/100)) * (food happiness increase + house happiness increase)

HWD= Hour Work Day. The total amount of hours spent Working, Training, and Studying. These formula's are all assuming you spent all your remaining free time resting.

FHI= Food/Housing Increase. This is the total of how much eRepublik says your food and housing will increase your happiness at the end of the day. It's not accurate because it's efficiency degrades when your happiness is closer to 100.

These totals start at an 18 Hour Work Day because if you work 19 or more hours you will need more than 20 FHI to start the next day with 100 Happiness and this is impossible.

18 HWD needs 19 FHI
17 HWD needs 16 FHI
16 HWD needs 13 FHI
15 HWD needs 10 FHI
14 HWD needs 6 FHI
13 HWD needs 2 FHI
12 HWD needs you to Eat. At this point you're gaining more Happiness then you're losing. Aren't you a man of leisure. Don't forget that you can't rest more than 12 hours.

Please note the FHI values I've given you are rounded up to the nearest ones digit. Feel free to fine tune as much as you like if you want to get the perfect amount.
