Is human desire endless? Recently, Paul G. Bain and Renata Bongiorno, a University of Bath's University of Bath, published in the magazine in Nat Sustain, showing that most of us do not have infinite desire for wealth.

Studies include 7860 participants from 33 countries, including developed countries and developing countries. Participants are asked to imagine their ideal life and consider how much money they want to have in this ideal life. Then, they were asked which one of the eight lottery tickets, each lottery bonus ranging from 10,000 US dollars to $ 100 billion, and the chance of winning was equal. After that, the participants were asked to point out the most important changes they would make with this money. (Research uses 100 billion US dollars to indicate unlimited wealth, but it does not redeem the prize)

The results show that in 86%of countries, most people think that they can achieve an absolutely ideal life with 10 million US dollars or less money. In some countries, they need $ 1 million or less.

▷ Select the percentage of participants in different lottery tickets. Different countries are displayed in different colors, and the black line represents the average value of each country.

The lottery choice is a double peak, reaching a peak between $ 1 million and $ 10 million. Only a small part chooses $ 1 billion or US $ 10 billion, and reaches the peak of $ 100 billion.

In research, the proportion of unlimited wealth is the highest (39%) in Indonesia (39%) and the lowest (8%) in China. However, in general, participants in collectivist countries and people with higher acceptance of society are more likely to choose unlimited wealth lottery tickets.

Young people and people living in the city are more likely to choose unlimited wealth lottery tickets. Those who choose unlimited wealth tickets are more likely to say that they want to use their money to solve social problems. However, most of these participants still indicate that they will use their money for themselves and their families and friends.
