Like I mentioned, just a 5% advantage like the study says makes a HUGE difference in the long run. $5000 more a year for 20 years is $100,000 and closer to $150,000 after a normal rate of interest return i.e. 3-4%.

There is a small, but real effect of physical attractiveness bias on wealth. A lot of people don't really understand this. Thanks, James Gentlemen,

Great posting. There is a small, but real effect of physical attractiveness bias on wealth. A lot of people don’t really understand this.

In fact it is to my disadvantage if I measure myself based on my attractiveness. Everything shall pass, even the beauty in all things. We need to focus on our inner beauty because there is where we can fully radiate our true beauty. :-) To tell you the truth I never give any thoughts about physical aesthetics anymore.
