Saving Money Tops Saving Soul In Poll

More than one-third of adults worry “a lot” about not having enough money and health insurance, while fewer than 10 percent worry that they will go to hell, according to a Harris Survey released Sunday.

Twenty-eight percent said they worry a lot that they or someone in their household will lose a job. Twenty-seven percent worry a lot about what will happen to them when they are old and sick.

The poll also found that 24 percent worry a lot about being a crime victim; 23 percent that their spouses or someone else close to them will not live long; and 21 percent that their health will get much worse.

Only 10 percent worry a lot that they won’t live long.

Thirty-eight percent worry a lot about not having enough money and health insurance, and 8 percent worry a lot about going to hell, the survey found.

The poll of 1,005 adults has a 3-point margin of error.
