A survey of over 4,000 British adults found that most people in the UK report being satisfied with their lives despite financial worries from the recession. People on average rated their life satisfaction as a 7.4 out of 10 and whether things they did in life were worthwhile as a 7.6 out of 10. However, satisfaction with their financial situation received the lowest average rating of 6.2 out of 10. While many Britons are worried about work and money, researchers found that happiness from personal relationships and where they live outweighs these concerns. Politicians are interested in these findings as part of understanding factors beyond just GDP that contribute to national well-being.
