Unmarried, childless women are the happiest of all according to The Independent
The independent reported that a prominent expert said that “unmarried women who are childless are the happiest group in the population”

He said the latest data demonstrated that long-established, traditional symbols of success did not necessarily correlate with happiness levels.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree?
Very interesting article. It takes a lot of courage to go against society and traditions even when you know it makes you happy and content. I listened to a podcast with Oprah where she says some people are meant to be mothers, others aunts, and others not to be found 1000 miles from children. We need to support peoples individuality and not fit everyone into the same box in order to maintain a certain look.
