Glad to be unhappy

The Standard reports that, according to a recent Citibank survey:

• Hong Kong's middle class has little money to spare at the end of each month;
  
• The majority of respondents have insufficient time to manage their financial affairs properly;
  
• Most do not think their MPF returns, and their property investments for those who have them, will be adequate for their retirement;
  
• Most expect little help from the government; and
  
• More than half said they could not expect financial help from their children in their old age.
  

Despite all this, more than half the respondents expressed satisfaction with the economy, the economic situation and the business environment.

Er - why?
