(I) feel content
Menurut Cambridge, 'content' artinya puas dan senang dengan keadaan yang sekarang dan tidak ingin ada perubahan, walaupun perubahan itu ke arah yang lebih baik.
Bahasa aslinya, dari Cambridge
Content : "Pleased with your situation and not hoping for change or improvement".
Rasanya, kalau dilihat dari kalimatnya, di mana iming-iming uang tidak cukup untuk membuat pindah, kata 'content' bisa dipakai.

Comment: "Thanks Christianna, and thanks everybody else. Christianna's answer is chosen because I think it is the most suitable for me; it does not necessarily mean that other answers are wrong. I am looking for word(s) that can express resoluteness of a first-person speaker, "I am contented" seems to be the most suitable IMO as it shows satisfaction with what I have; nothing else will entice me."

Ya well in that case maybe take Ian's suggestion and put it in the sentence 'I feel determined to stay here'.

Note from asker:
| Well, Sue, "feel at home" = betah. I am looking for "merasa mantap", something like resolute, steadfast, etc. that I can express myself. I mean, can I say: "I feel resolute to do bla-bla"? Usually (in my limited experience), it comes from outsider: "He looks resolute to do bla-bla-bla". |

Indonesian term (edited):
merasa mantap ---> Saya merasa mantap tinggal disini.
This is my home.
Saya merasa mantap tinggal disini=This is my home. Dilihat dari konteksnya, menurut saya kalimat "Saya merasa mantap tinggal disini" untuk menekankan kata "home". Si pembicara "minded"-nya sdh pada tempat tertentu dan tidak bisa dirubah-rubah.
Home doesn't only show to physical structure, but could be an environment offering security and happiness, a valued place regarded as a refuge or place of origin.
