Life Satisfaction and Happiness by Age

“Life gets better” is what many younger to Middle Ages adults tell others that are younger than them. This graph would say otherwise! According to research done that questioned various people about how happy they were by age, life seems to get worse, then better. People repeatedly said they were more and more depressed from 20-40 years old. It appears most people felt very dissatisfied with their lives from 40-60. Then, from 60-80 years old, people felt more satisfaction.

Many reasons could be behind this finding such as heavy work schedules (being a “wageslave”) and the age most people have kids. Heavy work loads, more expenses for children, and less time to be around the children could make anyone feel depressed and dissatisfied with life.

To anyone who feels the same, we can see from this chart that is does in fact get better, but not after it gets worse !
