I listened to an interview with a woman who researched aging and spent time interviewing lots of elderly people. The majority of those interviewed called their 60s the best decade of their life. I also dislike the myth that your youth was your peak and it's all downhill from there. There's good in all times of your life, lean into the experiences that are available at the time and don't worry about how good the past was or how the future might be worse.
They may have accounted for this, but I feel like that study would be disproportionately affected by wealth.
Not to say I'm against your overall point, of course.
do you have any info about what year when they're in their 60s? i read similar research and concluded that its because it was the 90s
I do not. This was the interviewer's experience through conversations, not a rigorous scientific study I think.
