1. Research finds1 that older people are happier
Research finds that older people report being happier than younger people. The percentages of Americans who said they were very happy were:
28% at ages 18-27
31% at 28-37
32% at 38-47
33% at 48-57
36% at 58-67
38% at 68-77.
It drops to 34% for ages 78-89. Still, the 78-89 year old Americans are happier than people under 60. Why? Older people are more comfortable and secure with who they are, what their values are, and what they want to do with their lives. Research finds they focus more on positive events and less on negative events.
