The next paragraph you will be reading was really happening
somewhere in U.S. It came out at the newspaper forum. At
least that was what I told. So the pretty lady starts a 
post and not long after, there's reply. Keep reading

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 don'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.

Signed,
J.P. Morgan
