I haven't read this study, but I've heard most people tend to be their happiest after their kids move out, and near retirement. You have more time to do the things you want, have more 'extra' cash than before, and are still in decent health. Obviously this is on average and varies by person.
People have kids that can move out? And they have money for retirement? I'm guessing this isn't in America...?
My kids are still young, so it might change, but I hope they stay with with me forever.
I love them so much and I will be sad when they will leave home.
Good news! America is about to rejoin the rest of the world in having multigenerational households, because we can't afford to all have our own places for much longer. This has been coming for a while. If you have a home large enough to support that, this is probably a good thing. In fact if that becomes the norm (again) it would probably support future development of the country in good ways, having a higher population within a given area and having a significant percentage of that population be both children and grandparents incentivises walkable communities with accessible shops. It could go a long way towards decreasing car dependence.
But that's all long term. In the meantime we're all broke as hell so get ready to possibly live in the same house with your grandkids too.
Yes most people have this experience... Which is why I said on average.
Maybe don't have kids in the first place if they make you unhappy.
Besides, if the kid had a say in it I doubt they would consent if they knew what kinda future they were heading into.
Well, not having kids is still a blasphemous concept for most of the world unfortunately
Heres one thing ive found very impactful for my own happiness - stop giving a fuck what other people think/expect.
That said, im only 33. Sounds like the worst is yet to come lol
