According to a survey the average "price" that men and women demand to marry for money these days is $1.5 million. The survey asked: "How willing are you to marry an average-looking person that you liked, if they had money?". Two-thirds of women and half of the men said they were "very" or "extremely" willing to marry for money. The matrimonial price tag varies by gender and age. Asked how much a potential spouse would need to have to be money-marriage material, women in their 20s said $2.5 million. The going rate fell to $1.1 million for women in their 30s, and rose again to $2.2 million for women in their 40s. Men have cheaper requirements. Their asking price overall was $1.2 million, with men in their 20s asking $1 million and men in their 40s asking $1.4 million.[/blue]
