A survey conducted by Goliaths, the simple and intuitive social investing app, of 3,105 people in France reveals that more than 3 out of 4 French people hope to one day be free of financial worries. 
 

If they became very wealthy, more than 82% of French people would immediately stop working, 77% would spend most of their time traveling, and 71% would become very generous, giving away part of their fortune to loved ones and family members.
 

To live the life of their dreams, more than one in two French people believe they would need to earn between 20 and 30 million euros. If they suddenly became very wealthy, more than 58% of French people would radically change their lifestyle.
 

To become wealthy, nearly 69% of French people take action by investing in real estate (58%), working hard to earn more money (55%), and trying their luck with the lottery and other games of chance (38%).
 

This survey shows that the desire to become wealthy is growing stronger and more pronounced among the French population, with people dreaming of no longer having to worry about money, quitting their jobs, and going on a trip. The French estimate that it takes between 20 and 30 million euros to live the life of their dreams and are willing to take action to become rich.
