Would You Rather Look 20 Years Younger or Be a Millionaire?
By Alison Caporimo, Allure magazine
A British survey has been making big news this week for finding that women think the ideal age to start toying around with plastic surgery options is 52. (Well, actually they said it's 52 years, 41 weeks, and four days...but who's counting?) What we found even more interesting, though, was another, barely reported on finding: Almost 29 perfect of the women, aged 40 to 65, said they'd rather look 20 years younger than be a millionaire.

Especially as the world spirals deeper and deeper into recession, with unemployment at record highs and housing prices record lows, this finding speaks volumes about the importance of youth. The women weren't asking to be 20 years younger, they just wanted to look 20 years younger-and valued looking younger more than they do economic security for themselves. That's pretty striking.
