Today is National Honesty Day. And we’re gonna celebrate it the right way: With a survey where clearly a ton of people lied. The survey asked people how often they tell lies. And the top answer is . . . NEVER. 27% of people say they never lie. That is a lie. 18% of people say they lie once a year or less. That’s also a lie. And another 18% say they lie a couple of times a month. On the other end of things, 6% of people say they tell around one lie a day, and 6% say they tell a bunch of lies every day. The survey also found 3% of people say they’re compulsive liars.
Listen up smokers, you’re about to have one less option. The feds made it official…moving to ban menthol cigarettes today. They’re also planning to scrap flavored cigars. They’re trying to make smoking less appealing to kids – besides, the stuff in menthols is basically poison. Shelves won’t be empty for a while; the rule change could take years to kick in.
It’s amazing most of us go half our life stressing about this stuff: Someone asked 2,000 people aged 55 and up when they finally stopped worrying about what other people think of them. And the average is 46 years old.
They also asked about work, relationships, and looks. Here’s what people said . . .
1. We finally feel okay about our appearance in our mid-30’s. For men, it’s 34. For women, 36.
2. The average person feels settled in and okay about their relationship at 37.
3. We don’t truly feel good about our career until we hit 40.
4. In general, we feel comfortable in our own skin at age 42.
5. We don’t feel like we can really speak our mind until our early-to-mid 40’s. For men, it’s 40. For women, 45.
6. We finally start to relax about finances at age 50.
They also asked about life events that make your more confident. The top five are becoming a parent . . . getting married . . . retiring . . . traveling . . . and getting your driver’s license.
