I wonder if these strivers will ever be 100% happy as long as they strive and want to improve all the time. Another thought is that since these optimists tend to overspend might indicate that their 100% happiness is a result of consuming all the time... What difference does it make to have a bad loan if you are 100% happy anyway - in this sense bad decisions is very subjective... Probably a 100% happy person would not say it was a bad choice :p Of course these are all speculations - would like to read some of the research myself to find out what and how was it exactly measured and interpreted.

It's like another great quote I read once, something like: "Only the person who is unsatisfied has any hope." Meaning that you need to feel discomfort in order to grow and improve.
