I hope this just means I'm late to the party, not that it's all downhill from here...

Personally, I don't know ANYONE who experienced the "peak of life satisfaction" at 23.
Most people that age are still confused about what they want to do with their lives and sweating off some leftover hormones from the teen years. It's more chaotic than satisfying, I think.
Edit: also, having a child at 26 sounds like hell.
IMO There are some people who are generally happy and some people who are miserable and the average ‘happiest’ age isn’t really that predictive. Positive and negative life events play a role, but time going by doesn’t just make you sadder or happier without something else going on.
