Hi!All
Over the past 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well being at any time are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.

Thats interesting, I would have thought circumstances would have been one of the main things seeing it doesn't matter how old you are or how rich you are circumtances in your life can really determine everything in your life but then I am not an expert ....

Hi!
Maybe you are right. The people and the things influence us sometimes especially when we have different roles in ou daily life.

Yea, I think this two factors really affect our happiness.
Wealth: When someone is not rich, he/she is not happy in life hence he tries his best to find happiness by looking for money. Also when someone is very rich, he is not happy because he wants more and also he get worried over what he has so that it is not stolen from him.
Age: Young kids are always happy, but old people are not happy because they are worried over almost everything in life from, medical cover, children school fees, ageing faster, getting rich and many more.
Thanks for enlightening on this two factors. They are mostly the determinants of one's happiness.
