CHERRY HILL, N.J., Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to big life goals, most Americans point to two things: financial stability and a long-term relationship. While it seems like we're always chasing after love or money, of the 1,400 Americans who participated in the third annual Love & Money Survey by TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, 58 percent stated it's harder to find true love than financial success, despite being currently in a relationship.
Big cities may seem like they are teeming with fish in the sea, however according to survey respondents, it's even harder to discover romance. Seventy-nine percent of New Yorkers, 64 percent of Bostonians and 56 percent of Philadelphians said true love is more difficult to achieve than financial security.
"Generally, people can envision what steps they should take to achieve financial success and what milestones to target. But true love can be a bit more elusive," said Jason Thacker, Head of U.S. Consumer Deposits and Payments at TD Bank. "Financial success also feels more within one's personal control than finding true love which can be heavily dependent on a variety of unique factors."
Making It in Love and Life
Wedding Bells and Wedding Bills
"Since marriage and wedding traditions are changing, it's important for couples to make sure they're on the same page regarding the meaning of an engagement ring, who will pay for the wedding and whether to take a financial risk when wedding planning," said Terri Orbuch, Ph.D., also known as The Love Doctor®, who analyzed the results of the TD Bank survey. "If each partner's expectations aren't met or communicated to each other, frustration and disappointment can result that will eat away at the happiness in the relationship."
