Tuesday’s annual Central Bureau of Statistics snapshot of the nation includes the findings that the vast majority of Israelis say they are satisfied with their lives, nearly one-third struggle to pay their bills and just over half exercise regularly.

According to the CBS report, 89 percent of Israelis say they are satisfied with their lives, though 37% are unhappy with their financial situation and 31% say they struggle to pay the bills.

Israelis, or at least 84% of them, say they are in good or very good health, and half, 51%, say they exercise regularly.

Perhaps that’s why Israelis enjoy relatively long lifespans, which hit 84.6 years for women and 80.7 for men in the past year.
