Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis once said, “The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.” Or so they say. But what if you only had ONE bite at the apple?
In a recent “USA Today” poll, 53% of people said love is more important than money.
That question was inspired by a previous poll, where people were asked if they would marry someone they were in love with, knowing that it would probably be a rocky road financially.
63% said they’d marry for love, even if it meant a lifelong financial struggle, and generally, 54% would prioritize romantic love over financial security. On the flipside, 46% would choose money over love.
There are some limits. 48% said they wouldn’t date someone without a job, even if they were attracted to them.
Sometimes you do get a second bite at the apple, though. 30% of Americans would consider getting back together with an ex, if that person “had become rich.”
