A surprising amount of people would skip the final season of 'Game of Thrones' for $1,000
A study from the
investment company Acorns has found that a surprisingly high percentage of Americans would skip the final Game
of Thrones season in exchange for $1,000. The Iron Bank may not be
so keen to know that, but it goes to show how much gold weighs on our minds
beyond Westeros.
According to Acorns'
2017 Money Matters Report™, Americans are mostly split on whether money makes
them feel "anxious and depressed" or "confident and
hopeful" (11 percent report that it makes them feel "meh"). 76
percent of those surveyed between the ages of 18 and 44 said they would skip GoT Season 8 if it
helped their financial situation. The percentages were similar when it came to
staying off the internet for a week or not drinking coffee for a year.
Acorns conducted the
anonymous survey through SurveyMonkey rather than through their customer base
and spoke to roughly three thousand Americans with a relatively even gender
split. Obviously this isn't the most scientific of methodologies, but it does
make sense.
As for us, you can pry
Westeros away from our cold, dead hands.
That would more than cover the cost of the books, and I hear they're better anyway. Lol
ReplyDeleteConsidering how bad the last season was, it may be worth it not to ruin the effects of the entire series.
ReplyDeleteNo way! BUT if it guaranteed the books would be finished, hell yeah lol! LOVE the show, but the books are everything!
ReplyDeleteI would! It's a really good show but I don't have to see it wrapped up neatly.
ReplyDeleteLearn English. It is "number of people" not "amount" People aren't measured, they are counted.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the other seasons so i guess i would take 1000 to skip the last one
