Studies have confirmed that being 69 and older is definitely the happiest time for many individuals — although, interestingly, 23 tends to be an especially happy age as well.
At 23, most people would have graduated University and are entering their first 'career jobs' and earning a real income for the first time, with all the freedoms that brings. still really young, and figuring out your interests and hobbies.
At 69 many people would have settled into retirement and found new post-work hobbies and also have the stresses of raising a family behind them.
That being said, that doesn’t mean you have to wait to turn either 23 or 69 to be happy. It’s up to you to figure out what makes you feel most satisfied in life. Though I personally would’ve never predicted those ages for peak contentment, it starts to make a little more sense the more you think about it.
According to experts from the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, happiness peaks at the ages of 23 and 69, My Domaine reported.

To draw this conclusion, researchers questioned 23,000 volunteers, aged 17 to 85, and found that happiness goes in a U-shape, bottoming out in middle age and peaking again at the other end of the spectrum.

Sort:  

still you have to be the one making yourself happy, if that only depended on if you have a job or if you're retired, I guess those people who were in the survey were quite simple-minded; it doesn't work only like that, I mean you should not make it depend on your age, or life would only be aimed to 23 or 69, and that would be really poor
