Have You Hit The “Happiest Time” Of Your Life?
A new study has found the year that everything in your life "comes together" and makes it the happiest time of your life. It's good if you haven't hit this age yet, but if you've already passed it, are the best times of your life already over???
If the ladder of true, then I'm screwed. At the ripe age of 35, I'm apparently "past my prime", according to a new study. I'll get back to that "happiest year of your life" thing in a second. But speaking of happy, as part of this survey, people were asked to rate the happiness in their life so far. 47% said their life has been mostly filled with happiness, 43% saying it's been a mix of happy and sad times and 10% said life has pretty much sucked thus far.
Each decade was generalized with things that have made people happiest. Those in their 20's had "happy factors" that included few responsibilities, being in good physical condition, lots of partying and spending most of the money made on themselves.
30's happy highlight reel found this decade to be filled with married, having children, making decent money and buying a house and beginning to travel to places that used to financially our of reach in their 20's.
Those in their 40's were most happy about being financially secure, having career success, watching their kids grow into young adults and feeling comfortable with themselves.
So with each decade's happiest moments, which one contained the year that was marked as the "happiest"? The 30's. Specifically, 34. According to the survey, it was the most common year for getting married, becoming a first time parent/having another child and having enough money to buy a house yet still live comfortably.
If you're 34 or older, would you agree with this? If not, what's your "happiest year"?
