Today’s Chart of the Day, based on a Nielsen survey, shows the changes in the level of self-reported wellbeingon a scale from 1-10, by age.

The data shows wellbeing starts relatively high at ages 18-21 years but then steadily declines until around age 52. After that, it starts to improve and continues trending upward as we age. Comments in the article suggest the reason may be that in their early 50s, people start to come to grips with their mortality and begin experiencing a deeper appreciation for what they have.
