Often, nostalgia takes us back in years, and for many of us, the age around our teens or twenties is the most exciting, carefree and without many responsibilities. Let's be honest, those have been years that have culminated in physical terms as well, haven't they? But, there is no room for hesitation! The fact that you may not be 20 years old anymore does not mean that you are no longer happy and have a life of your own.
At least, according to a recent study published in Social Indicators Research, which reveals that the happiest years of people's lives are in their early thirties, specifically between the ages of 30 and 34.
This conclusion came after the study led by the Spanish professor of economics Begoña Álvarez, who surveyed hundreds of people around the age of 50 from 13 different countries of the world. Participants were asked to reflect on when they felt happiest, whether as a child, teenager or adult.
After analyzing the results, the researchers found that the majority of respondents indicated that their thirties were the peak of happiness. The conclusion according to the Spanish professor is related to the fact that this age, between 30 and 34, means a more complete confirmation from the professional, private, more consolidated income, family, children, etc.
But this study doesn't mean that happiness only comes in your thirties. As the saying goes, life has its ups and downs. You can be just as happy in your twenties, thirties or forties. If we all experienced life the same way, the world would be terribly boring.
And for those who fear turning 30, take this as a warning sign!
