Amazing reply by J.P. Morgan CEO to a Pretty girl..

Another 1 of those forwarded emails, but found it meaningful... Enjoy...

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)

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. 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 ...

Its september lor... 9 months into 2009 !

Times passes fast... before really realizing it, its already September 2009. I asked myself, what have I done thus far so these 9 months. Since having some free time this Saturday afternoon, occupied with boredom... mind starts to wonder to & looking back, evaluating every aspects that I could think off - work, studies, socially, personal development, family & relationships with others...

Pondering upon these, not much has basically changed, at least not many things that i really have put effort to make a difference. From a 3rd persons viewpoint - looking at me, one might notice changes - but deep down I know these things changed because of time. It would only be natural to become more mature as time passes, also of course time remaining to finish my course would be shorten... (examples). Wouldn't say that no effort has been put forth, perhaps its just that I know i can do better?

Btw, reemphasizing that i don't like that studying... makes going through the studying period all the more agonizing... coursework, datelines, submissions, assignments & yeah, I HATE EXAMS !! As though i can escape it, sem exam gonna start in 3 weeks or so... anyhow, just wanna finish this course quickly... don't wanna quit half way..

2009 has been rather a fruitful year in regards the aspect of work... Most days are busy ones, 9-6 passing by quickly... of course, its the usual rewarding the best, damn & woe to the loser... When you accomplish something, ppl have expectation on you to perform... to maintain & achieve & outdo... The biggest question mark lies if I am capable ?? Its not totally a bad thing altogether I would think... perhaps one needs to fall down, get up & work double hard every now & then...

Another 4 months time & a brand new year - keeping fingers cross on what to expect...as my senior mentioned, "You can only be a superstar once in this company... been there, done that & proven - look at me ..." Being a believer of always maximizing individual potential let see what will happen...

So long ppl !!
