This Just In: Saving Money Is Better Than Sex

http://www.stopsylvia.com/articles/images/brownesmoney_1.jpg
We don’t get to talk about s-e-x so often over here at Little Miss Fortune, but I have a totally legit reason to today. (I swear, Mom! You can stop reading now!)

According to this post from Budgets Are $exy, one of my most favoritest personal finance blogs,

57 percent of people would rather save an extra $50 a week than have more sex or lose weight.

Um, anyone else shocked? Or wondering how many men were surveyed? I mean, I guess it depends on how often the people polled were taking a roll in the hay to begin with. If you’re already gettin’ a piece four times a week, the $50 might be worth more than a fifth. And the weight thing? Also surprising, right? I feel like people are usually willing to sacrifice IQ points, years off their life, and their first born when they’re offered a 10-pound weight loss.

So let’s hear it. You have a year, or 52 weeks. Which of the following do you want to do every week:

  • Get $50 in your savings account.
  • Have sex one more time than usual.
  • Lose half a pound.

    I would say saving would be my first thing. If you save, you don't stress, no stress, no extra eating. Loos weight, feel sexier and have money in the account-win-win

    i say sex first,sex helps you burn calories in the sack which also can help motivate you to go put an extra 5,10,20 in your saving account.

    I would take the extra $50. But I also have sex almost every day, so one more time might not even fit into the schedule. I agree it really depends.
