I was having a conversation with my friend about my future plan, about what job should i appy, or what should i do after i finish my study. He told me to look for a rich husband (he was joking) then i told him, haizzz it's difficult, where to find??? then he sent me this email ^^. I think it's very reasonable and at the same time very funny as well so i wanna share with you ^^
Apparently this is a true story coz I
read about it in Fortune Magazine.
Title: Young and pretty lady wishes to
marry a rich guy. Fantastic reply from a
financial person
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 is only
average-looking? I've met a few girls
who doesn'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)

Here's a reply from a Wall Street
Financial guy:
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 analyze
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 worried
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. If you are
