What do you call yourself?

Sadly very true. I watched a programme about the dating rituals in NY the other night. It was more like a cattle market....
I think that is all any of us really want - someone who loves us for ourselves. The problem is, the more successful we become, the more the question of the other person's motive comes to light. How many books and films have there been about rich kid pretends to be poor for a while so that they can find someone who wants them for who they are and not for what they've got..?
It can be even harder the other way around. I've been both well off and hard up at various times. Guys are generally either scared off by - well off, successful, intelligent women, - or interested in their wealth. My best friends have always been made when I was having a tough time. Problem is - you get successful again and they then run away for a bit (the good ones always come back though...)
Yes - it can be very lonely indeed.

It also depends on how you look at things yourself. There are lots of morons who consider themselves "successful, well off, etc." when really they are vegetating on a 5 figure salary. They just think they are above the masses because they make 3 times as much as a construction worker and they can buy a Mercedes for 60 easy payments instead of a Dodge.
I'm not saying the difference between 20k and 100k a year is negligible, but almost. And I would be just as ashamed of a mid six figure income as of a low 5 figure one. It's all the same: Enough to survive, not enough to enjoy.
I wrote "As a (successful) daytrader he should already have learned the major lesson in life: EVERYTHING CHANGES!"
The magic word in this sentence is "he", which refers to DT-waw, certainly not a computer...
And yes, I thought about going into politics. I had such a sudden inspiration some weeks ago. Decided against it. Unhealthy lifestyle, >40 hours week, and they even do not rule this world (aside from the Bush clan).
