Loose Weight = Get Rich

I found this out on the web today and could not resist:
From MedicalNewsToday
Overweight Americans who lose a lot of weight also tend to build more wealth as they drop the pounds, according to new research.
The study found that the link between weight loss and wealth gains was particularly strong among white women. Black women and white men also gained wealth as they lost weight, but not as much as did white women. The wealth of Black men was basically unaffected by their weight.
Overall, the results showed that a one unit increase in a young person’s BMI was associated with a $1,300 or 8 percent reduction in wealth. But the changes varied dramatically by ethnicity and gender.
“Maybe it’s because when people lose weight, they become more motivated to accomplish goals.”
What do you want to achieve?
