They usually say that hearing for the first time the three magical words, “I love you,” is a priceless, once-in-a-lifetime experience that no amount of money could ever buy. Without necessarily making the above statement be less true, scientists have determined the worth the average Joe and Jane estimate “I love you” has, as the Daily Mail informs.
As it turns out, hearing the words “I love you” from a special person might not be as priceless as we might have thought, researchers say. Should we translate its meaning into money, we’d be surprised to see that the three words actually come with a worth of £163,424(Rs.30 Million), which is below the “price tag” of health, but over other experiences we enjoy throughout our lifetime such as laughter, going on family vacations and making love.
The poll was conducted on 1,000 respondents in the UK, who were asked to rate 50 of life’s events and experiences. Their answers indicate that the prices for which these go are as follows: £180,105 for good health, £163,424 for “I love you,” £154,849 for being in a stable relationship, £129,448 for living in a peaceful, beautiful place, £123,592 for having children, £105,210 for making love, £108,021 for laughing regularly, £91,759 for going on holiday and £53,660 for reading.
