We FINALLY have a reason why you should've paid attention in math class. According to a new study, if both members of a couple can answer these three math questions right, the odds are you'll be millionaires by the time you're 50.
Really. It's that simple. In the study, spouses who both answered all three of these questions right averaged a combined worth of at least $1.7 MILLION by age 50. Couples who both got all three wrong were worth under $200,000 by age 50.
Here are the three questions.
#1.) If the chance of getting a disease is 10%, how many people out of 1,000 would be expected to get the disease?
#2.) If five people all have the winning numbers in the lottery, and the prize is $2 MILLION, how much will each of them get?
#3.) Let's say you have $200 in a savings account. The account earns 10% interest per year. How much would you have in the account after two years?
--The study also found that men are the financial decision makers in 62% of the couples studied . . . and even when the husband did worse than the wife on those math questions, there was a 50-50 chance he was still the financial decision maker.
