Happy at age 33

At what age do people have the tendency to be the most happy and content with their lives? According to Friends Reunited, a UK social networking site, 70 percent of survey respondents over the age of 40 said they didn't find true happiness until the age of 33. Being in your mid-thirties could mean you're no longer naive or engaging in the rebellious nature of teenage years, and you may not be just starting out in the business world, as most do in their tender twenties. However, at age 33, most people still have the energy and enthusiasm of their youth. Although some believe the retirement years will be among the best due to a sense of freedom and ability to go out and do what you like, this survey indicates otherwise. One would think the classic Sonny Throckmorton song "I Wish I Were 18 Again" should be changed to "I wish I Were 33 Again."
