A deep understanding of their needs will help you all collectively determine whether you're a great match for each other.And, even if you're not a match, a deep understanding of their needs puts you in the best position to help them find someone who is a great match for them.Money or influence: You win either way!

Sounds like a triple win to me but I guess it’s your decision.If I was you I would like to see where the most people in your age group are living and start investing there.
