In a recent survey Dr. Jenn Berman found some interesting statistics on women, their self image and their values. A report in Reuters noted that psychotherapist and judge of the series Pretty Wicked, found that “25 percent of those questioned would rather win the America’s Next Top Model TV show than the Nobel Peace Prize.”
The piece continued, “As for that age-old dilemma of whether to marry for wealth or looks, half of the 18- to 24-year-olds questioned said they would marry an ugly man if he were a multimillionaire.” This is somewhat consistent in comparison to the Money Management International’s Valentine Survey.
My own thoughts? Marry for love, respect, and laughter. The money can too easily dissipate. Imagine if those who choose to marry for money had husbands caught up in the AIG mess! Pretty Wicked
Reuters reported today that “Fifteen of 20 American International Group leading bonus recipients have agreed to give them back in full, said New York’s top legal officer who is probing $165 million in executive pay at the troubled company bailed out by the U.S. government.”
It appears that New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo either read my mind or my blog – Name, Names!
But as the article stated: “Cuomo has said he wanted to make public the names and details of bonus recipients, but he was assessing security and privacy of individuals following death threats against some employees.” AIG Outrage
