96% of Malaysian youths want to be millionaires before they are 35
The Star reported on 14th March 2010 that their online survey, which polled 1,678 people under 30 from all over Malaysia revealed that:
- 96% of them want to become millionaires
- 75% believe they can do it by age 35
- They also said this goal is “the most important goal in their lives.”
- only half said becoming millionaires would make them happier
- 25% are willing to give up ethics to achieve their goal
- at the same time, they are not willing to sacrifice family or social obligations
- 47% said chance and opportunities are main reasons why one could be a millionaire, while only 24% said it is due to hard work and determination.
- 25% said they would marry someone if that would turn them into a millionaire
Well, I suppose they better brush up their resumes right now!
Financial planners had expected that only 60-70% of youths would want to become millionaires, so that almost 100% figure is unexpected.
