WHAT SHOULD I DO TO MARRY A RICH GUY ? -Ms Pretty
THIS IS A TRUE STORY



A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum in New York:-



"I am going to be honest of what i am going to say here. I am 25 this year. I am very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a rich guy with $500,000.00 annual salary or above. You might say i am greedy but an annual salary of $1 million is considered only as a middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. ... See More



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 have dated, the richest is $250K annual income and this is my upper limit. This is not going to be enough if you live in posh area of New York.



I am 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 have met 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).



Thank you.

Ms Pretty

"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. ... See More



My annual income is more than $500K, which meets your requirement, so i hope everyone believes that i am not wasting my 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 are trying to do is an exchange of 'beauty' and 'money'. You provide 'beauty' and i pay (money) for it, fair and square.



However, there is 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 depreciation asset. It is not just a normal depreciation, but an 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 a long term - same goes with the marriage 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 advise 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. If you are interested in 'leasing' services, do contact me.



Best Wishes,

CEO Investment Bank."
