Retirees are the most content and relaxed Americans
May 18th 2016 10:23AM 3,712 adults ages 25 and older were surveyed. The greatest share of the respondents — 2,170 — were baby boomers (ages 51-69), followed by 682 members of the silent generation (70-90).
The survey results indicate that retirees are finding their new found time affluence — technically defined as an average of 7.5 hours of daily leisure time — to be enjoyable and beneficial. For example:
- Respondents ages 65-74 rated the amount of fun they're having in their current stage of life higher than any other age group, averaging 7.3 on a scale of 1 to 10. Respondents ages 75 and older (7.1 out of 10) and ages 55-65 (6.4 out of 10) followed.
- Respondents ages 65-74 were most likely to say they often feel happy (76 percent), content (71 percent) and relaxed (72 percent).
