Sense of well-being increases as we get older

Unless you happen to be a psychologist or economist, you likely have missed a roiling debate on whether our personal level of life satisfaction changes as we age. Psychologists suggest age doesn’t play much of a factor. Economists who study happiness surveys see it quite differently: Happiness is a U-shaped curve that is high in our early 20s, then falls through our 40s, hits bottom around 50 or so and then starts rising again.
