The report also says women in early adult life are generally happier than their male counterparts. Nevertheless, after the age of 48, men are generally happier than women. The research points that overall happiness is closely related to a person’s family and finances. Men in their 20s are unhappier than women because young men are more dissatisfied with their financial conditions and unmarried life. The research seems to be contradictory to the generally-received belief that middle-aged men are the most depressed.( after 48). When you were in your 20s, were you satisfiedw with your life? When do you feel happiest in your life? (at the age of 20s, 40s, 50s?)

GUEST7271	That was wrong. In my 20s, I was footloose. In mid-life, I lost interest in my dull life.

Spent more money than was made, looked for love in all the wrong places. A college degree that wasn't put to good use. Now, if a time machine would just get me back there again. Geez.......Hmmmmm
