What truly makes life worth living? Our survey data illustrates what matters most in life according to respondents from the U.S. over time. Comparing the values for 2023 Q1 and 2024 Q1, the share of consumers in the United States has stayed consistent at 30 percent. This contrasts with the overall trend, which is characterized by fluctuating values.
Asking consumers about the three most important aspects in life reveals their core values while also expressing their current needs. While many aspects contribute to a good life, their varying importance distinguishes personality types, such as hedonists, traditionalists, and career driven consumers. The survey was conducted online among 25114 to 60327 respondents per quarter in the United States, between 2020 and 2024. Statista Consumer Insights offer you all results of our exclusive Statista surveys, based on more than 2,000,000 interviews.
