Anyone remember this joke?
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 interested in leasing services,
do contact me.
Signed,
J.P. Morgan
