To get our female readers started off right this week, I thought I would throw a few funny (and shocking) money statistics at you:

1) The average wedding in America costs $20,000!  My source didn’t say how much of that was paid in cash vs. debt, but I’m betting the debt % is not insignificant…

2) 90% of us would rather be rich than find the love of our lives.

3) More than one-third of American women consider money more important than good sex to the success of a marriage.

4) More women would rather have an unlimited shopping spree than spend a weekend with a fabulous lover.  In fact, the #1 favorite fantasy for women is to have a blank check to shop at their favorite store.

5) A staggering 74% of us are influenced by how much we can win in a lottery as opposed to the odds, despite the fact that the odds of winning a jackpot are about 10 million to 1.

And just for fun:

Women have very fixed ideas on how much they are willing to spend on a bra.  38.3% of women won’t spend $30 for a bra.  28.4% won’t spend $50.  10% would pay as much as $75.  And, only 3.5% would shell out $100.  But almost 20% of women say they would pay almost anything for a bra.

Hope these give you a smile.  Have a great week–and stay away from the Lottery!
