People get happier as they age

Adding more proof that the saying ‘You’re only as old as you feel’ could be true, a new study has found that that over-50 are content, and their lives will get even better in another 20 years. Around 65 per cent of those in their 50s said they were very happy or quite content, but this rose to 75 per cent for those in their 60s and 76 per cent for those in their 70s, reports the Daily Mail. Among men, one in three said they were confused about their financial future and 19 per cent said they were happy.

Women were far more optimistic with 43 per cent being ‘happy’ and around 30 per cent confused. However, there was universal concern about the ability to pay for their care in old age. A total of 77 per cent of those in their 50s were slightly or very concerned about their ability to pay for their own care, while this increased to 79 per cent for those in their 60s and 83 per cent for those in their 70s. Dr Robert McCaffrey, author of the study, said: “Taken as a whole we see that there is generally agreement between the sexes about what is important in retirement, with leisure time being most important, followed by a focus on health."

Either financial or family... Universe take care ... All Happiness with Financial will frustrated at last life because life is going to waste .. every moment death will come .. this body who want luxuries from power .. soon be dissolve... what for these insecure security...

Yes this is very true. When you are in fifties, you are not easily ruffled by the events easily. The happiness comes with the achievements already tasted by this time. Your understanding of the people and why they behave in the particular circumstances is more. The expectations from others are less and this helps in being contented and happy.

It is the understanding which comes with age ... the understanding of limitation and options.... This understanding of events remove the anxiety of the events and people tend to be more content ... content ness gives them the feeling of happiness.....
