Just ignore her. Not everyone's opinion is worth the air it takes to present it.
It's also worth pointing out that my own understanding of happiness has evolved greatly over my life. I would be saying very different things in my 20's than I do now. Part of it is the tendency of society or authority figures (in my case church leaders and parents) to influence your views. Because it isn't a simple and clear concept, its worth disconnecting from what other people think and truly exploring what you value. My greatest wish is to almost totally disconnect from society but like heroin, it has a grip that is difficult to sever.
