[quote=Anonymous]I'm a guy and 50/51 was the bottom for me. I lot depends on circumstances and the "U-shape of happiness" theory is based on general trends: Somewhere between 40 and 55 a lot of people face teen challenges, empty nest, initial physical limitations, divorce, career stagnation, shrinking circle of friends, aging/dying parents, financial disasters, first emergence of major health problems and a general sense of running out of time.

These types of events hit at different times for different people but that's the general idea.

On the other side of the cliff, your kids start to live their own lives, you get used to your more limited body, work winds down and you have as much money as you have, your parents are dead and, most importantly, you just don't care about a lot of things that used to be a big deal (basically, everything).

We know people who skate through life with great health and wealth and every year is better than the one before. They think the rest of us make bad decisions. [/quote]
