15 Surprising Sacrifices Americans Would Make To Become Millionaires

Deal With Higher Levels of Work-Related Stress

Percentage of respondents: 26.6%

Given the detrimental effects that stress can have on your health and happiness, you’re probably better off finding other avenues to hit that $1 million savings goal.

The survey results broken down by age seem to support this claim. The older the respondent, the less likely they were to select this option. Of the respondents ages 18 to 24, about 43% selected this sacrifice, but the 25-to-34 age group — a demographic more likely to have spent time in the professional workplace — selected it at a rate of 33.7%. The response rate fell all the way to 17.7% for those ages 65 and older, indicating that the more familiar you are with work-related stress, the less appealing this option becomes.
