Feeling blue lately?
Why not adopt a pet?
A new study of people over 55 in Metro discovered that pet owners were TWICE as likely to be happy and consider themselves a success than those who did not.
They were more likely to be married, have kids, volunteer, have a college degree and have a job they like.
They also make about $5,000 more per year, on average, and get twice as much exercise as people who didn’t have pets.
In fact 90% of pet owners think it’s good for their health and well being and over a third say it adds purpose to their life.
So…what are you waiting for?
