Marrying for money

Quote from AlpineTrout:

I watched it with my wife the other night. Now, if I watched it by myself, then maybe it'd be as my 13 yr old son would say "that's real gay Dad".

LOL
 
Wow, this thread is making me glad I'm not married! Hell, I'm glad I'm not dating.

Seriously though....how correlated is your guy's trading with being single vs dating/married?

I find that when I'm in a relationship or dating, I trade like a jackass. All the emotional up and down that is being in a relationship really messes with my trading.

Anyone else have a similar problem? Or do you just keep your pimp hand strong?

My wife doesn't trade, and doesn't know all the ins and outs of it...but she is involved in my trading. Very supportive and always someone I can do a discipline check against. She can tell if I'm full of shit or being wishy washy about something.

Great trade filter. Made me a bunch, saved me from losing even more, which is a lot more important than how much you win.
 
Geez, BRK-A, what a disaster. I was about to buy that stock last week as a "safe" play. I thank myself that I forgot to do so. Sticking with my current plan.

Non-community states, here's a link I found:

My plan, as I stated is best, at least I think it is. In this day and age, you (man or woman) is nothing with out money. You cannot live, have good health, or even survive without money. Protection of that money is key. If you think I am wrong, consider how many people are now getting divorced. Over 60%. Why? Who knows anymore. Usually because of dough. Would you, man or woman, want someone to take half (or any amount) of your finances for a few years of being with each other? D.T.A. my friends. D.T.A.

Words to live by.
 
Quote from kinggyppo:

Amen. Really I would trade all the tea in China for a good woman (read sane and mentally stable), you should be doing backflips to make her happy. Everyone of my male friends who has a good woman is happy as a pig in slop. The others are constantly terrorized by their wives and ex wives. The shit these divorced guys put up with is unreal. Nothing like paying alimony so your ex wife can have a new $500 dress while the kids go around with holes in their clothes and there ain't jack shit you can do about it.

agreed. i am going on 15 years in january. although imo (she say's so too) we have a good marriage; i would not like to be in the position to watch my wife spend alimony on herself while the kids "survive". it has to be hell for those guy's. i really feel for them and hope never to be in that position (at least until the kid's turn 18!). i do wish i did a prenuptial though....not having one probably helps to keep me around.
 
Quote from JimyJam:

It's really not that great, to tell you the truth.

2 G's will get you a nice two bedroom setup, but there are much better areas to live in if you want to play fancy pants, the Eastside is where the money is.

The West Village is for the people who think they're cool, the East Village is where the really cool people are, and Brooklyn is up and coming.

Jimmy Jam


1) 2gs will get you a studio with a security guard, 2bedrooms rent out for $5k+ or so.
Each "room" = $1.5k in nyc
studio = 1 room = $1.5k
1 bedroom = 2 rooms = $3k
2 bedroom = 3 rooms = $4.5k+

2) west village has always been the classic cool village, what you talking about there?

3) east village is just more poorer, upcoming
 
Quote from Reaver:

Yes that's unfortunately true. Some people just can't grasp actually loving and caring for someone else. It's human nature to be selfish and greedy, sadly. Money is just fucking paper. I like it and want to make as much as I can, but it ain't worth selling out over. It takes a special person (or in this case two special people) to have something as great as your parents do.

People lose their souls in increments 1st compromising on little things that grow into bigger and bigger compromises before they know it they are just an empty shell.

Good point.
 
People marry for all reasons.... having money is an attribute people have and others look for. It is a characteristic much like being tall or being nice.
