He’s feeling optimistic
Age: 26
Occupation: Construction
Optimism level: High
Jack has been working for a construction company since he left college. His dad is an electrician and handyman so from a young age, Jack spent his weekends and summer holidays helping him. Jack has ADHD and growing up he struggled with the structure of school. Working with his dad gave him the opportunity to try something physical and he found that he enjoyed the manual work. His hyperfocus ensures that he carries out every job to a high standard and he has built a great reputation within his company. He enjoys his job and hopes to try a different role in the company, such as project management.
For those aged 25-34, the feel-good factor is still high with 72% feeling optimistic.
Jack lives with his parents and twin brother Thomas. Jack and his brother are saving up to buy a flat in Hertfordshire but with the changing interest rates, it’s taking them a little bit longer than anticipated. But Jack’s favourite person is his nan, who lives two roads away. He enjoys spending quality time with her and still being close by.
Jack is inspired by his parents, especially his father. He saw how hard they worked to raise him and his siblings, and it’s instilled in him a strong work ethic. Jack knows what he wants from his life - a comfortable home where he has space to relax and enjoy his hobbies. Saving for a house is what drives him, and he can’t wait to have a place of his own.
Jack is generally happy with his life and in good health. He works out at the gym three times a week and still plays the occasional game of rugby. However, he is quite prone to low moods, especially when he feels stressed. Jack likes routine and order, so whenever things are out of his control, he finds it difficult. He tends to isolate himself from everyone and struggles to carry out normal tasks when things get too much.
