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)

Ms. Pretty

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.

‘Importance of having Breakfast’


Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death. Advice on not to skip breakfast!

Healthy living
For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now! You’ve heard many times that ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.’ Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.

Why?

Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?

We may have an Answer.

Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.

However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns,    Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it’s important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke.

So,Please Never Ever Skip Breakfast!!
