I saw a documentary yesterday evening about the direct correlation between Health and a persons Wealth.  The study was done in Louisville, Kentucky, and across the board statistically, a person lived longer and had less negative stress in direct proportion to the amount of money they earned.

It was riveting, because I would not have expected such a clear series of results across multiple income classes.

It was also shocking.

The researchers could tell statistically how long a person would live depending on their zip code. 

People who grew up in an apartment were more likely to catch a cold when the flu virus was injected into their nose than people who grew up in a house owned by their parents! 

One of the factors of this multi-faceted problem is feelings of self-worth.  I think people underestimate how powerful this is.

You owe it to yourself to do everything in your power to increase your wealth.  You’ll end up living longer.

Let me know if you were as shocked by this as I was…
