The vast data set collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the creativity from the Flowing Data team on how to display it never cease to amaze. In this time-lapse video, you will see how the activities we enjoy change from the ages of 20-70. Ever wonder if satisfaction with one's main job increases with time OR what activities seem to be enjoyed at any age? Watch the video and find out: 

Questions: 

• What activities seemed to consistently rank high on the happiness scale? consistently ranked low on the happiness scale? 
• Find an activity that increased dramatically on the happiness scale. Around what age did you see that increase? What do you think explains this increase? 
• Did any of the activities surprise you on where they landed on the happiness scale?

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
