Why a millionaires first love is often their one and only
Did you know that the majority of millionaires have never been divorced? In fact, the majority of them have been married for over 28 years.
Is this just a coincidence, or is there a reason behind why wealth and successful people stay married longer than the rest of the population.
Here are some stats. 92% of the millionaires in this country are married. Only 2% are divorced (compared to the nearly 50% rate overall). 2% have never been married, and the rest are widowed.
There is actually a strong correlation between the number of years that the rich have been married and the height of their net worth.
What is the reason for this? Well according to a survey, the majority of millionaires said that having a supportive spouse was a crucial component to their success.
So what does this mean, that if you are single you are going to have a harder time getting rich? No, and there are some advantages to being single. You do not need to support anyone else but yourself, and that can be a benefit.
However, it does seem that having the support of a partner can definitely make an impact on your results.
