A new national survey suggests Canadians are happier after age 55 and when they earn a higher income, but also indicates most don't consider money as a key factor affecting their happiness.

compiled by Leger, asked Canadians across the country to rate their level of happiness on a scale of one to 10 and note which factors they believe influence their happiness the most.

Ontario participants were at the bottom of the list, with only 47 per cent reporting a high level of happiness. The factors participants deemed most influential on happiness were a sense of freedom and the belief they were living the life they had imagined for themselves, with 24 and 19 per cent of respondents identifying those as key.

"If you take away those first two -- sense of freedom and living the life you've always dreamed -- the next six are really all tied," and close together in importance, he said. "Millennials are asking for more, and part of being happy is being happy with what you have," he said. "But 55 and over is happiest because they're in the place they want to be -- retired."

The survey also showed more respondents reported high levels of happiness when they owned homes rather than renting , and lived with others rather than alone .

Because they accomplish raising children by then, they can have 2 incomes, they have more money allowing for travel. And then they screw it up by retiring instead of doing lower paced work/part time to assist with paying the rest of the populations retirement. Just sayin'.
