Study Shows Women 45+ Are Happier

There was a time, not long ago, when most of the women I knew dreaded the big 4-0. But according to a recent study by AARP, many women in their forties are experiencing more happiness and freedom than ever.

Some of the study's findings show:

  • Many women find growing older has been a more positive experience than they anticipated
  • 61% feel financially prepared for their later years
  • 81% consider themselves to be in good health

You can download the full report here, on the AARP Web site.

And don't forget to visit my renter--she has just a day or so left!

I'm happier than I've been in a long time, but I'm not quite to 45 either. Dangerously close, though...;) Does this mean it's going to get better? Kewl...

This, I believe, is a good thing. The culture of youth has to stop.
