Brenda and Louise are twin sisters who each married 20 years ago. Brenda and her husband run a small piano tuning business. They have had a small, loyal customer base, and their modest but adequate income has not changed over time. Louise and her husband each work for a corporation, and their incomes have steadily increased over the last 20 years allowing them to increase their standard of living. Assuming that Brenda and Louise began their married lives equally happy, and based on their income histories alone, what would you predict about the subjective well-being of Brenda and Louise today

Answer: Probably, still happy

Step-by-step explanation:

People measure success differently, and what makes an individual happy may not be applicable to another, some person's gain satisfaction in doing their own business, while some prefer working for other people. This is why there isn't any specific measure for people's success. Concerning Brenda and Louise, there is a great possibility that they are happy in their various endeavors, having chosen a particular career part and stuck to it for years. This doesn't mean they won't have challenges but means they are happy where they are.
