That's the view taken by more than four in five American seniors, according to a survey that compared attitudes to aging in the United States with those in Germany and Italy. The survey, published Thursday, May 21, 2015 by the Pew Research Center, found that 49 percent of Americans aged 65 and older said they were pretty happy with their life these days, while 32 percent said they were very happy.
