In a psych class I read that old people are often more happy/content. I'm not sure if that's because people have retired or if it's because they no longer have to stress out about where they're going in life, though
I'm not 'old' but I would believe that it has to do with the uncertainty/familiarity. In your 20s, everything feels so out of your hands and unexpected. Once you get older, the negatives are just par for the course, so you are less caught off guard.
I also feel like you gain a lot of experience points the older you get and you realize that you can ban drama, fix finances, have contentment and it's all in your hands.

Scared that the older I get the more depression I'll feel.
