RealAge answered:As the irony of life would have it, apparently stress is something we handle better with age. All of us react differently to stress and stressful events but, on average, it seems we become better equipped to handle stress the older we get.

And compared to people ages twenty-five to fifty-nine, older adults say their stress is not nearly as disruptive and unpleasant.
