In Bruce Springsteen’s hit song “Glory Days,” The Boss sings of happier times in his youth and laments that “time slips away and leaves you with nothing but boring stories of glory days.” Now a new survey out of the United Kingdom seems to confirm the melancholy song, revealing that life is “least fun” at age 45, and that most people feel it’s harder to enjoy life as much as we did in our childhood.
Commissioned by U.K. theater chain Cineworld, the survey of 2,000 Brits finds that more than half of adults agree that the older you get, the more difficult it becomes to find amusement in everyday life. Sadly, just four in ten respondents can say they actively seek out enjoyable experiences in their day-to-day life. The same number even agree that the “concept of fun” ended when they entered adulthood.
