NATIONAL SURVEY SHOWS PEOPLE WOULD
RATHER HAVE MORE MONEY THAN MORE FUN

Americans Closely Split; Poll Gauges
Importance of Fun and Who's Having It

BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Jan. 19 - Would you rather have a 10 percent salary
increase or 10 percent more fun in your life? If you're like most
Americans, you'll take the cash and make your own fun. That was one of the
findings of a recently conducted national telephone survey for Mall of
America, which asked 1,000 Americans their ideas and feelings about fun.

When it comes to money or fun, age, gender and marital status make a
difference. According to the Mall of America "Just for the Fun of it(TM)"
Poll, slightly more people would rather have a 10 percent increase in salary
(50.4 percent) than 10 percent more fun in life (46.8 percent). However, as
people age and their household income increases, more people would rather
have 10 percent more fun.
