Olympics bounce boosts lives of over-50s

The Olympic bounce helped improve the quality of life and happiness of Britain's over-50s in 2012, although pressure on savings and poor employment prospects mean it may not last, according to a new report.

The latest quarterly report from Saga insurance shows their quality-of-life index was higher post-London 2012 than at the start of the year.

It measures quality of life for over-50s by surveying more than 10,000 people every quarter. It tracks their well being and includes official economic data.
