Researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia tracked the happiness levels of thousands of people in Australia, Britain and Germany over multiple decades. They found people in all three countries were unhappiest between the ages of 40 and 42.

Great. I turn 40 next week.
Buckle in man, I haven't gone through one but I saw my dad go through it and it was....interesting. This was about 10 or so years ago but he bought a brand new PS2 (when they just came out), a flat screen, and a motorcycle in the course of a month. Needless to say my mum wasn't thrilled.
