Where's the bump for "kids go to college"?
- mahyarm 13y agoThat is really parent dependent. My mother took it really hard when I eventually moved out of the house and when I moved out of the same city.
- podperson 13y agoThere's going to be some kind of bump though...
- throwit1979 13y agoI don't think Ed has kids, which is partially why his quality of life is so high.
- pestaa 13y agoYou can't just make that many assumptions in one short sentence. Granted, I don't have kids, either. ;)
- D9u 13y agoPerhaps his children, like mine, are now adults with children of their own?
- fluidcruft 13y agoPerhaps he had kids at 25.
- gbog 13y agoI don't think you are right, I think you are misled by some anti kid cliche.

- gbog 13y agoAs stated by Kahneman happiness (pain) level is felt in retrospect as an average of the most happy (painful) moment and happiness (pain) level of the last moment. If you have kids you have an easy happiness peak (say their first smile) and are likely to be less lonely in your old days.
