Hungry for money: 6 in 10 millennials will work more to increase their wealth

They are even willing to compromise their relations to maximise their riches.

Money matters so much for millennials in Singapore that most of them (69%) are willing to spend more time working to increase their wealth, a survey by St. James’s Place Asia (SPJ Asia) has found.

Almost a third (70%) of millennials will work longer and harder even at the expense of personal relationships while they are young to enjoy the fruits of their labour when they are older.

According to SPJ Asia, almost half of millennials (49%) want to grow their wealth because they want to have money to invest in personal ambitions.

Millennials (83%) said being wealthier also allows them to have a better work-life balance.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
