Americans dream of being 'richer' above all else

On August 26, the results of an Adweek Media/Harris Poll were announced that found that, when given one wish, Americans would choose to be richer over the options of smarter, younger, and thinner.


The online poll questioned 2,163 Americans aged 18 and up July 27-29 with Harris Interactive, a leading global market research firm. The question was: "Given a choice of the following, which would you most want to be?"


The results showed 44 percent would "choose to be" richer opposed to 14 percent that wanted to be smarter, 21 percent thinner, 12 percent younger and 9 percent none of these.


The poll also revealed that men have more desire to be younger than women do, and age tipped young families to select "richer" while those 55 and older selected "younger" in greater numbers.

Being rich can buy you an education, plastic surgeon and a personal trainer. So it's obvious! :)
