For love or money
August 22, 2007
Can’t buy me love?
A poll of the nation’s youth by the Associated Press and MTV has found that today’s young people ages 13 to 24 rank money nowhere near the top of the list of things that make them happiest.
Instead, friends and family are rated tops, followed by God, pets and favorite pastimes. But at the same time, poll respondents say money can help them find happiness and the lack of money can cause unhappiness in their lives.
Do these findings ring true for young people you know? And what’s the bottom line for you on love and money? Let us know.
