Here’s a thought (THOT?) experiment for the group.
Imagine you were filming one of those random-people-on-the-street interviews. You ask young women, “Would you like to be married to a millionaire?”
Suppose they say, “Yes”.
You reply with…
“Okay. Statistics show that the most likely path for you to be married to a millionaire is to marry an ambitious young engineer or accountant. Avoid debt. Live on less than you make. Pay off your house early. Invest 15% of your take home income in good growth stock mutual funds. Send him to work every morning with his belly full and his balls drained so he has that extra pep in his step that helps him climb the ladder faster.”
(Okay, I made that last part up.)
“20 years later… Voila! You’re married to a millionaire!”
“Would you still like to be married to a millionaire?”
How do you think most of your interviewees would respond?
