Aussies Suffering from Loneliness :(

Don't we all feel lonely every now and then? Apparently loneliness is a significant problem amongst Aussies. In a recent study, marriage benefits men more than women and single men are lonelier than single women. I can see the same results appearing here, in the United States. The Australian Unity Well being Index covered 2,000 people and focused on the link between well being and loneliness and money and debt. It said the well being loss associated with loneliness is most pronounced for males but that people who live with partners are the least lonely. I don't even have to be in Australia to realize this could took place anywhere.

It seems that men who are single struggle more to find that certain someone, while females who are single have men approach them about dating, potentially on a regular basis. The results also stated that men who never married, were separated or widowed are significantly lonelier than females in the same circumstances. The report said just over 30% of participants recorded their level of loneliness at or above the average score of 40, which indicated an average loss of well being. On the money side, men from households which earn less than $60,000 are significantly lonelier than men with a household income of $100,000 or more. I know that if I had an income above 6 figures, well yeah I'd be rolling in the dough and yeah that would make me a lot happier :)
