I've read this
somewhere over the internet, and I thought it's interesting enough to share it
with you! :D
A young and
pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:
Title: What
should I do to marry a rich guy?
I'm going to be
honest of what I'm going to say here.
I'm 25 this year.
I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k
annual salary or above.
You might say
that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class
in New York.
My requirement is
not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual
salary? Are you all married?
I wanted to ask:
what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I've
dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper
limit.
If someone is
going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City
Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly
to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most
rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars,
restaurant, gym)
2) Which age
group should I target?
3) Why most wives
of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have
looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you
decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target
now is to get married)

A philosophical
reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your
post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have
similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a
professional investor.
My annual income
is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes
that I'm not wasting time here.
From the
standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer
is very simple, so let me explain.
Put the details
aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and
"money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair
and square.
However, there's
a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone
without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to
year, but you can't be prettier year after year.
Hence from the
viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation
asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that
is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.
By the terms we
use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a
"trading position".
If the trade
value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long
term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say
this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation
value will be sold or "leased".
Anyone with over
$500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry
you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And
by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual
income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply
helps.

LOL. If I were in
her shoes, I'd really deactivate my account and disappear.
