The following is what a women posted on a dating forum seeking a rich husband:
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, $250k annual income is not enough.
I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
- Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
- Which age group should I target?
- Why most wives of the riches are 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.
- How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

A philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan below:
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 worse 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 CEO

Most of us have smartphones these days and when it comes to charging them, there are all sorts of myths out there… but how many of them are true?
Lithium-ion batteries, which you’ll find in most smartphones, should last between three and five years, if you take proper care of it.
So here’s the truth behind five major phone charging myths which should help you get the most out of your battery:
MYTH 1: You never need to turn your phone off.
The truth: To maximise battery life, it’s a good idea to give your phone a bit of a break occasionally, especially when you go to bed at night.
MYTH 2: Wait until your phone is completely dead before you charge it.
The truth: It’s actually best to charge your phone every day than to do a “deep charge” only once necessary.
MYTH 3: Using off-brand chargers damages batteries.
The truth: Original is best but off-brand chargers are fine as well, just be careful to avoid cheap imitation chargers.
MYTH 4: Charging your phone overnight kills the battery.
The truth: Once your phone is fully charged, it actually knows to stop, which means the battery isn’t being used at all after that point.
MYTH 5: While your phone charges you shouldn’t use it.
The truth: It’s fine to use it while your phone charges, as long as it’s not a knockoff charger which have been known to injure users.

War changes the lives of everyone. Whether the soldiers themselves, their communities, or the families. And no change, no hurt, is greater than than the loss of a loved one in the service of their country. It’s up to us as beneficiaries of their sacrifice, to take care of those they leave behind. To help make that “change” in their lives as easy as possible.
One woman who lost her own son to war did just that. And it’s amazing.
Meet the bear soldiers, made entirely out of service uniforms.
These uniforms were not random. Instead, they’re made from deceased service members.
And the most shocking thing is that all of them are created by this woman, Lisa Freeman.
The project, called Matthew Bears, was born some time after she tragically lost her own son, Matthew Freeman, to enemy fire in Afghanistan in 2009.
The goal is to create teddy bears for the children of lost servicemen and women out of the cloth of their uniforms.
Any family that has lost a member in service can send the service member’s uniform to Lisa Freeman to have it made into teddy bears for that service member’s children, or to anyone related to that service member.
The most amazing part. It’s free.
And it’s helping to change the world.

Although war changes us all, what Lisa is doing is to help change the world. Not for all 7 billion people, but instead, for the children of those bravest among us. Please consider supporting Lisa and help her in her cause by visiting The Matthew Freeman Project and donating.
