Survey Reveals Older Americans Give More Generously Than Other Americans

Family ties

When asked what they are most grateful for in their lives, eight in 10 older Americans said they are most grateful for their friends and family, directly comparable to the general population. When asked what advice they would give to someone in a younger generation, a plurality of both older Americans (40 percent) and adults younger than 55 (41 percent) would advise younger Americans to spend more free time with family and friends.
