Old men are NOT grumpy: Pensioners view the world through rose-tinted glasses

Older people have a more positive outlook than their younger counterparts, research shows.

Despite the aches and pains of old age, pensioners view the world through rose-tinted glasses, remembering the good times rather than the bad.

I think that says it all right there.

Of course they do, they GOT their pensions... something the youngsters may never get. Of course I'm an old guy and I'm not Grumpy... I'm Sneezy!

I read about a reverse "bell" curve on happiness in our lives. We start to dip down in our late teens towards unhappiness from a peak at about age 12, when we're carefree but are old enough to understand a lot of things. As we progress into our 30s and 40s, we start to bottom out on the bell with the stress of work, college for our kids, retirement savings etc etc. As we approach our 70s we start to get back the happiness of a 12 year old. I guess we take every day as a blessing at that age...and don't mind speaking our minds, which COULD be misconstrued as grumpiness.

I couldn't imagine being any happier than I am now. Life just keeps getting better and better.

I will quit being grumpy December 23 2010, the day I retire. I am counting the days, hopefully I don't have a coronary or kill someone before then. I do have a trip to FIJI planned as a retirement gift to myself.
