The charts below show the results of a survey about what people of different age groups say makes them most happy.
There are several similarities between what younger and older
people
say makes them most happy. However
, there are several striking differences.
Firstly
, let us look at the similarities. It is noticeable that for both younger and older people
, the highest percentage says that achievement at work brings them most happiness
: 31% for the younger age group and 32% for the older group. Doing hobbies is also
very important for both groups: the second
largest percentage of both age groups mention doing hobbies as making them most happy.
Turning now to the differences, many younger people
regard having a good appearance as extremely important: 18% of them state this
brings them most happiness
. This
is followed by 15% who state that travel brings them happiness
. Neither of these two factors is mentioned by older people
. Instead
, 20% of older people
report that having financial security is most important to their happiness
and 14% say they feel most happy when they are with their family.Submitted by ecifuentesg1 on
