Entertaining and sometimes thought provoking. Here's a sample:

* Only 12 percent of women and 16 percent of men think it's OK to marry for money.

* For 83.5 percent of home owners, buying a home is the biggest single purchase they will ever make.

* 90 percent of frequent flyers do not bequeath their miles in their wills. (Estate lawyers and divorce lawyers value the miles at two cents apiece.)

* 10 percent of people admit that they have switched price tags at a store so they could pay less for an item.

* 72 percent of people keep the bills in their wallet in order by denomination.

* More than half of all college students and recent graduates expect to be millionaires by age 40.
