[quote=Anonymous]From a 2013 article - I wonder if the response now is even higher!

Across the board, people are increasingly sacrificing their personal relationships for the pursuit of wealth. The American Freshman survey has been tracking the values of college students since the mid-1960s. The survey is a good barometer of social and cultural change and it shows how far we've come in prioritizing material values over social ones. In 1965, college freshman said that “starting a family” and “helping others” were more important life goals than being “very well off financially.” By the eighties, it was the reverse: “helping others” and “starting a family” were less important to college freshman than making a lot of money. In 2012, [b]freshmen prioritizing being “very well-off financially” peaked at 81 percent, the highest that number has been in the survey’s history[/b].

“My gut says making more money will make me happier,” Lieberman writes in the book, “but my gut is wrong … [b]The more individuals endorse materialism as a positive life value, the less happy they are with their lives.”[/b]
