Once, a girl decided to find a wealthy husband on a dating site. She did not dissemble and honestly admitted that the main criterion for choosing a future elect is the size of his annual income. The text of the announcement can be found below.
Girl Announcement
“I'm not going to cheat about the reason for posting profiles on a dating site. This year I will be 25 years old. I am a pretty attractive girl with a sense of style and good taste. I want to marry a man who earns at least $ 500,000 a year. Those I met before earned a maximum of 250,000.
Of course, many may call me greedy, but in reality this is not so. Let me explain: one who earns a million a year in New York is just a representative of the middle class. And I really do not want to be a beggar! The demand I made is not something of a fantasy. Are there people on this site earning more than half a million a year? Or are you already married? ”
Questions for men
Also, the girl asked potential favorites to answer several questions of concern to her:
- Wealthy bachelors, where do you usually spend time? Please list your favorite gyms, restaurants, bars and other places. Very desirable with addresses.
- What age should I focus on?
- Why are most of the wives of wealthy people being ugly?
- How do you determine who suits you as a girl and who is your wife? First of all, I am interested in the criteria by which you determine the future spouse.
Banker's answer
The announcement of the girl was answered by the CEO of the largest US bank:
“I’ve read with great interest your ad on a dating site. I suppose that now very many girls think in this way. I’ll try to analyze your case in terms of investment.
My annual income is much higher than $ 500,000, and this is just the fundamental criterion for you. I’ll say as a businessman - marrying you will be a bad decision. Everything is very simple: what you are trying to implement is called barter - an exchange of "beauty" for "money." That is, I (subject A) pay for the beauty of the girl (subject B). It seems to be all without a catch, but there is an important point - beauty will fade, but my capital will not disappear without any special reason. Unlike your beauty, my money in the future will not only not go anywhere, but will increase.
If we move on to economic terminology, then we are two assets. Over time, my value rises, and your steadily falls. If the price of an asset is reduced, then owning it is not only pointless, but also stupid. No matter how tough it may sound, only two things can be done with such an asset - sell or lease.
Any man who earns more than half a million dollars a year, a priori, can not be stupid. Of course, wealthy people like me will meet with you, but they will never marry. So I advise you to stop searching. Better try to make $ 500,000 yourself. Then your chances of finding a wealthy fool will increase many times over. I hope my answer comes in handy. ”
If this is the "CEO of the largest bank," then he knows the difference between Investment (Expense) and Expense (Expense).
This girl, a lady, is Expense, like buying a car, like lunch at a restaurant, like a trip to a resort.
From Expense receive various utilities necessary for life.
From Investments - receive money, and no other benefits.
To consider this girl as an investment and to give her lectures on that topic is completely stupid, at the level of a bank watchman, and not the "general director".
By the way, there is NO "CEO" post in American banks :-)
