How To Marry A Wealthy Guy

How To Marry A Affluent Guy

(or Girl... Or at least Make Sure they're a Good Money Manager!! ha,ha!)

Here are some small tips so you can at least topographic point a affluent (or soon-to-be-wealthy) guy:

1. If that BMW he's driving is most likely leased, you may be looking at a cat who owes a whole batch of money to person else... It's pretty easy to expression rich. You might desire to check up on out the cat in the Truck or not-so-new-but-still-nice vehicle -- opportunities are high that he's the 1 who's been economy his bucks, and have the ability to do a whole batch more of them!

2. High Care Women are great for High Care Work Force -- are you willing to be a Barbie forever? Think you ever desire to just kick back and bask your life? Probably not with this cat -- he'll demand flawlessness -- his female parent will, too, and yes, she'll definitely come up with the package. (Hey, I don't cognize why these cats are like that -- it's just a portion of the particular -- and sometimes anal retentive -- bundle that you can often acquire with the Rich and Famous!)

3. Affluent Work Force are really looking for down-to-earth women who won't blow their budget. (Go ahead... do all your gags here...I'll wait! They are unfastened to friendly women who would do easy comrades -- merriment to speak with who can acquire down to concern when they necessitate to -- which is fairly often -- that's how wealthiness is made and kept! He desires to be married for life, since he is seriously trying to avoid losing one-half of his wealth-to-date inch a Divorce.

Now, here's a difference between a Rich Man and a Affluent Man...a Rich Man is a chap with a enormous amount of money, and often he is looking for a 'Trophy Wife'. A Affluent Man is person who have worked really difficult for his money and who desires to not only maintain it, he desires to do certain it grows. The Affluent Man is looking for a Spouse to work along side him in this growing business, and assist him maintain his life running smoothly, then the whole household is much happier.

Remember that the Type of Work that a Affluent Man makes may not fit what is typically thought of as a 'monied position'. The old thinking was that lone Doctors and Lawyers were the 1s with money (this doesn't include Athletes, since they are few and far between, and we're talking about work force you might actually come up in contact with on any given day..!). Enterpreneurs, Contractors, Teachers (yes, some instructors are really, really good money managers, and are able to accumulate all kinds of wealth!), People in Construction and Real Number Estate, and let's not bury Computers! Almost any line of work can take a individual down the Road to Wealth -- it's all about Money Management, not necessarily how much you do in any given year.

Keep an unfastened head when you ran into a new individual to see what they're really all about. You'll guarantee a better hereafter for yourself if you hook up with a adult male who have a solid apprehension of Wealth Management. A cat with a really high wage who passes like a monster (and NOT on Real Number Estate! ha,ha!) in order to APPEAR Affluent volition be more than hard to acquire ahead with than person who gains less but pulls off his money well.

4. Bent out at Boat Shows -- those cats are typically loaded. They have got to be to purchase a boat and then actually take it out on the water. If you're lucky adequate to dwell near water, hang about (not leeringly...) at the Docks. Who cognizes who you might run into...? Hey, Building and Home Shows are great, too -- maybe you'll acquire some great thoughts while you're there, too!

Don't bury to protrude into stores where the affluent spell -- the Home Improvement Stores, Stationary Supply Stores, the Jean Stores (yes, contrary to popular opinion, many affluent work force have on jeans!) and, of course, the grocery store and spirits stores!

I'm not certain why Parallel Parallel Bars got such as a bad blame -- especially Dance Bars and Cool Pubs. They're fun to hang out at with your friends, and perhaps you'll ran into person nice. Keep in head that 'the wealthy' generally didn't start out that manner -- you might happen a diamond in the rough!

Sports Games are great, too (small stopper -- I'd wish to see every Sports Team out there with their ain Logo on a Fan so when you went to games there'd be a whole sea of Buffs for each side -- if you cognize person interested in that, for Good Sake have got them contact me! Pweeeease!) Back to the games -- desire a manful man? Check out the local Rugby matches... Love Field Hockey or Basketball? Try to catch the NHL and Master in Business (whooops! Flimsy trip of the tongue, there! Although those Master in Business cats are great, too...) Should be NBA Games, then travel ran into the Players -- there's usually a cool Barroom in or nearby the Sphere where you could 'mingle'! No gushing, though -- play it calm down and collected -- they'll appreciate the deficiency of craziness! All the people you will ran into in this scenario will be interesting, so maintain your head unfastened and do some new friends.

Just one small choice morsel about going out with a grouping of misses -- ticker out for the 'group syndrome', where some mediocre psyche come ups over to inquire you to dance and there's a speedy and seldom elusive 'group decision' about 'whether he should be permitted a dance or not'... ugh. Everybody detests this -- it's not High School anymore ... always do your ain determination about who you like and be sort whenever you can. It's very difficult for a adult male to near a adult female in a grouping (all the more than ground not to always go in packs!), so if you're not offended by the guy, one small dance is the polite thing to do. Unless it's a slow song, and he's been leering at you all night, in which lawsuit a simple 'No Thanks. Maybe a Fast dance later on...' ought to work. Strike up some conversations and have got some fun!

5. Learn how to cook. No kidding. Check out my favourite formulas on the Tips & Recipes Page, and seek your manus at one of the recipes. I haven't met a man, yet, who doesn't love Cheesecake, so give that one a shot! Hey, you'll have got a lovely dainty for you and your girlfriends while you seek out that guy! You don't necessitate to cook everything, it's just very utile to have got a couple of signature dishes that you can do that volition be merriment to do for your new guy!

6. Rich Person (and travel to...) political parties with other single people. Brand them pre-timed in the afternoon, if it's too eldritch to have got one in the evening. Say, from 2:00pm - 4:00pm on a Sunday. Rich Person each friend you ask for convey another single person. Be certain to include your 'couple friends', too -- they are great beginnings for single folk! At the very least, you might do a new friend or concern acquaintance. Sunday works, since you're more likely to acquire into a eating house if you like person enough to go on the conversation over dinner.

7. Speaking of Dinner Out -- this is a very good mark of what sort of adult male you're dealing with -- a chap who do it clear in advance of the repast that it's his dainty is a good guy. Not in a eldritch way, though -- if he travels on and on that he's going to pay, and it's a huuuge deal, bury it. This guy's crazy with his money, and you don't desire to day of the month a cat like this, allow alone get married him!) If he desires to share the check on the first date, ticker out. Don't worry about that old thing where everything should be equal or you won't be on equal footing. If you like him, you can offer to pick up the check on the adjacent meal... Just the offering of reciprocation is very declarative of your willingness to be equal partners, and that's what he's looking for.

Now, of course, if you inquire him out, you should also be prepared to pick the bill. Don't experience like you have got got got to hit the best eating house in town -- you could have a nice field day in the Park, or have him over to your place for dinner (if you've already had a few days of the month and you're comfortable with this).

I actually had a 'blind date' old age ago where the chap brought a Grocery Store List and a Recipe for me to do dinner for him -- can you believe that?? And to believe he's calm single -- who'da thunk that?! I couldn't believe it, so I suggested just going out for Chinese, and conjecture who paid the measure -- me! I couldn't acquire quit of him fast enough... (just so you know, this cat was no mediocre psyche -- I was poorer than soil at the time, but he was an Architect and Professor... see how of import knowing how they cover with money is? Being with a adult male whose billfold squeaks and dust puffs of air out when he finally open ups it is a incubus to be married to -- he'll command his ain and your money for the full marriage.) And you always thought it was just a small meal!

8. Be yourself -- no demand to set on any airs. That's no merriment and you desire person who will love you, not some made-up version of yourself. You cognize you're lots of merriment to be around -- allow him see that, too!

9. Be confident. Know that you are worthy of being with him -- and do certain he is worthy of being with you. Money isn't everything -- sometimes it come ups with a great large dork at the end of the leash! (Ha, ha! I'm amusing myself, now, with that domestic dog analogy!) Be other careful not to acquire too swept up in the autos and houses (although, I've been known to be swayed by a gorgeous place in the past...and currently, too! And a really gorgeous pool could still turn my head! ha,ha!). It's the cat you have got to dwell with, so might as well feign that the other material isn't in the image and see if you still like him. (Although, truth be told, there's many a adult male who would be all alone if it weren't for their many attractive 'assets'! ha!)

10. Well, ladies, travel out there and happen the adult male of your dreams! Hey, happen two or three! You might necessitate a back-up, just in case! Good Luck!

Remember that Wealth can be measured by many things -- a Wealth of Possibilities is sometimes even more than merriment in a first mate than determination everything ready-made. Then you can then turn in your Wealth, together. Doesn't that sound like fun? Plus, Rich to one individual mightiness intend being able to pay all the measures without worrying, and to the adjacent individual 'Rich' might mean value having the greatest Yacht in the Habour. Brand up your ain head about 'How much makes it take to be Wealthy', and you'll be well on your manner to your ain Personal Wealth and Happiness!

Comic Books History - Part I

Because amusing books have got such as a long history I'm breaking up this series into respective parts.

Comic books. Arguably one of the biggest industries in the world. To be able to hive away every amusing ever written you would necessitate a metropolis the size of New House Of York and even then I believe you would run out of room. No question, amusing books are here to stay. So when did this multi billion dollar a twelvemonth industry actually start.

Actually the beginning of amusing books is not really known for certain. Up until recently there was one theory of what the first amusing book was. Then new grounds suggested that this was incorrect. We may never really cognize when amusing books started but as of this authorship the first known amusing book was "The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck" which was written in 1837 somewhere in Europe in respective languages. In 1842 an English version of this amusing was printed for the United States, more than specifically New House Of York City. The amusing was 40 pages long and didn't really resemble the comedians that we are used to seeing today. There were no word balloons with dialogue. Instead there was textual matter typed at the underside of each panel to depict the story. A transcript of this amusing was recently discovered in Oakland CA. The amusing itself was done by Rudolphe Topffer who in Europe, was considered to be the Godhead of the image story. He created the amusing strip in 1827 as a graphical novel. After that he created 7 more than graphical novels in many different linguistic communications including transcripts for the United States. These books stayed in black and white until about 1877. This was considered to be the Victorian Age of amusing books which is still uncomplete and still being researched even until today.

Even though many comedians were printed after that, they have got fallen into obscureness and the adjacent known amusing book was published in 1894 called "The Yellow Kid." The Yellow Child was actually a fictional character derived from the amusing "Hogan's Alley" but the child was so popular that the amusing book became known by his name rather than by the functionary statute title of the amusing book. Hogan's Alley was created by a gentleman by the name of Richard Outcault who actually got his start authorship for "Truth Magazine". In an issue of "Truth" he did a fictional character sketch featuring "The Yellow Kid" and it's from that initial publication that the existent amusing came into being a short time later. It is believed that Outcault got his inspiration for "Hogan's Alley" from respective cartoonists including Michael Angelo Wolf and Prince Charles Saalburg, both of whom used street children in their cartoons. It is believed that the statute title "Hogan's Alley" came from the song “O'Reilly and the Four Hundred" which starts off "Down in Hogan's Alley."

In the adjacent of this series I will be covering what is referred to as "The Platinum Age Of Comics" which spans the old age 1897 to 1938 which have the extremely popular "Mutt And Jeff" and "Little Orphan Annie" comics. You don't desire to lose this.

Tempus Fugit and the Dollar Doesn't

Money is time, a commodity which can be used to gage worth in respect to the time needed to construct, design, build, assemble, mine or in other ways accomplish a task, the creation of a product, a skill, an idea or any materialistic value. The value of a dollar changes from moment to moment depending on who possesses it at any specific point in time.

Time is the value of money, or rather the amount of your time that you are willing to trade for something you want or may need.

We all start out with a finite amount of this commodity, it is often taken for granted, and it’s perception is very closely related to the age of its possessor. It is an unknown quantity gifted to us by the almighty power, creator or God of our chosen belief and it is given to us to consume as we may desire. Our time can be shared together, used to accomplish tasks, learn new things, exchanged for material needs or wants, enjoyed or wasted, but it cannot be deposited into some other persons account. Each person’s time is theirs alone to use and to determine its true value.

Let’s imagine for a moment that dollar in the hands of a struggling migrant worker, someone has told him that an hour of his time is worth six dollars and his wants or needs are worth more in the “time is money” equation. He is and will remain a poor man. Take that dollar and put it in the hand of a Wall Street executive, who someone has determined deserves a six figure yearly income and estimate its worth. This is a wealthy man and might remain so as long as his time is perceived to be of more value than the poor migrant worker.

Who is this mystical someone that has determined this value, and why.
Truly it can be said that the migrant worker will not care about buying or selling stock and may not even be aware of the stock market. He will never need the time allocated this wealthy person. Equally certain it can be said that at some time this wealthy person will want or need the produce gathered by this poor migrant worker. Equally certain it is doubtful that the wealthy person, not all but most, has no idea how or when to gather, plant or cultivate this produce. The wealthy man indeed does need the poor man. Whose time is really of greater value, who can survive without the other?
Oh mystical someone, please tell me how you determine value.
Now imagine if this poor man could sell an hour of his life to this wealthy person for deposit into his life’s time account, added to the finite quantity gifted to him. What then would be the worth of this hour?
In terms of time and money it is understandable to some degree that the time remaining in any particular persons account may be conceived to be of a greater value when gauged by the amount of this commodity they have sacrificed earlier in their life, in their trade for knowledge or skills. Truly, I too place a greater value on certain peoples time. I am powerless to change the dollar value, which has been determined by the mystical someone, and very often I am not in agreement with the mystical someone, but they are a powerful force. They have not given us a phone number or address with which we may contact them and express our disagreements. They are self regulating and seem to favor the wealthy in determining the value of that same hour gifted to each of us by the true powers of our beliefs.
Question how an earthly group can place a value on a commodity which they themselves cannot quantify or control. Can there be a Federal Time Depository? Are they the mystical someone? Does anyone out there hear me or care?

I write this and ask these questions from the perspective of a middle aged person, but wait, is this really the middle of my life? Can the mystical someone tell me? Should I expect more dollars now for each of my remaining hours?

I recently went to a Lawyer to do something which was not overly complicated in nature. Mystical someone had told this lawyer his time was worth two hundred and twenty five dollars for each hour. I would not need this lawyer except for the complexity of the laws involved. Who do you think made these laws so complex that I would need a lawyer? The meeting included my wife, myself and the lawyer in the same room, at the same desk and for the same hour. This precious hour gifted to us each was consumed, sacrificed, spent, never to be re-deposited into our time accounts. One hour of my wife’s time, value equaled zero dollars, my time the same, the lawyer’s hour was rewarded with two hundred and twenty five of these dollars. We each withdrew from our time accounts the same amount, but the lawyer exchanged his hour for a different material commodity which he could put in a different earthly account.

Excuse me mystical someone, I did not ask anyone to complicate this issue, I did not need this to be obscured in written text nor perverted or interpreted to be a complex thing. Why have you given this value to my lawyer’s hour and not to mine. Are not both of our hours irreplaceable? Oh, I forgot, you can’t answer, as you have not a phone or address to where I might direct my inquiry.

I would bet that the poor migrant worker would not need to part with this many dollars for this reason. This meeting was in regards to a real estate transaction, the same kind performed in other areas on a handshake. Curiously this is one of the few duties originally performed in this country, only by lawyers.

Oh mystical someone, I was told our business model was based on supply and demand, there are plenty of lawyers, I am told I need one, but I would rather not get one, so my demand is low. Does this change the dollar value of his gifted hour?

I often joke about teachers to my family. Not out of disrespect for the profession, but more of a confusion as to the dollar value of their hour. In my area, teachers are paid very well and pay raises are based on their level of education or degrees held, not on performance, ability or the grade level they teach. I contend that to teach a class of third grade English students, you need a little more than a third grade education. I know this is not entirely true but again I disagree with mystical someone who has determined a high dollar value for their gifted hours, there by creating an increase in my taxes. By the way mystical someone, that new library building you put such a high dollar value on is beautiful, but aren’t they supposed to have a lot of books in them?

The poor migrant worker probably never had a school, or teacher and has no need of a library, since he probably cannot read, but wait I’m getting hungry, lets go get a book to eat or would you prefer a brick?

My purpose is not to demean any profession or person and if I have offended anyone to this point, I extend my sincere apology. My journey is to locate the mystical someone so I may present my questions.

I often laugh at the value of things. Take for instance the most sought after precious metal, gold. Consider the hours sacrificed by other to mine this metal. How much gold are their gifted hours worth? The mystical someone has set a value on their hour that would barely move a gram scale. What is the value of this metal, why is it sought after? To the best of my knowledge the only use for gold is in the electrical field for its’ ability to possess very little resistance to the flow of electricity and in the medical field because of it’s inert properties, though I am sure there may be other uses, but you can’t eat it, at least not for nourishment. The combined demand in all other uses has very little effect on the value of gold, but for the demand to possess it in its purest form, for what reason I am not sure, it has little value. Would you trade all your gold for an hour of time from the migrant workers remaining gifted hours if you could be sure they would be deposited into your life account?

Ranting to be continued...

The History of the Flower Language

Attributing flowers with concealed significances and using them to show feelings and sending messages is an ancient tradition and even the old Greeks used flowers in this manner. Cleopatra used to shower her lover Marcus Antony in rose flower petals to show her love for him. During the 17th century B.C. the Turks developed a big flower linguistic communication that soon distribute and gained popularity all over Europe. During the hard-and-fast Victorian era, conveying messages in the word form of flowers experienced a new roar and secret lovers sent seemingly guiltless flower corsages to each other.

The Elizabethan time period is usually considered as the tallness of the Queen Victoria epoch and one of the harshest time periods from a moral point of view. This naturally formed a rich genteelness land for lip service and ways to travel around the severe functionary codifications of behaviour – especially for the upper and center classes. It was also a time period when the romanticist love was highly sought for and the flower linguistic communication incorporates both these components; romanticist gestures and the thought of true love conquering any obstructions and hard-and-fast rules.

During the Victorian epoch respective different flower lexicons were published that helped to distribute the cognition of the ‘secret’ flower language. It was common to manufacture poetical accounts to the forms and colours of flowers. One popular myth claimed that the reddish rose came into being when a achromatic rose blushed in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve's ate the apple. Virtually any type of message could be transformed into a beautiful flower corsage since a whole sentence could be conveyed in a single flower.

Since respective different flowers could have got almost the same meaning, it was usually not difficult to build a good looking corsage with matching flowers for each message. The flower linguistic communication even had a type of basic “grammar” since messages could be altered depending on how the flowers where arranged and combined. A reddish rose combined with achromatic rose buds would for case mean value a different thing than a single redness blooming rose. Scents, sizes and even the place of the giver when corsages were delivered directly would impact the message. The receiving system could also take the chance to direct secret messages to the giver. Accepting a flower or flowered corsage with the right manus was generally perceived as a “Yes” piece the left manus indicated “No”. A flower held top down when presented would literary bend the message upside down and the message should be interpreted as the sum opposite of the normal significance of the flower. Giving a lady or gentlemen a reddish rose that had been turned upside down was a very strong sing of rejection.

Flowers have always been used to decorate suite and to tag of import occasions, but during the Victorian epoch the natural world became highly stylish since it was linked to the new romanticisms, a reaction to the scientific ideals of the 16th century. Floral agreements was frequently enfolded in satin and received as wrapped gifts. Every room should ideally be decorated with flowers and the Victorian women devoted their time to the building of highly sophisticated and very beautiful flowered arrangements. The flower linguistic communication was not only used in corsages sent to lovers; the flower linguistic communication would impact everything from centrepieces to wedding ceremony bouquets. Understanding the flowered linguistic communication became and imperative portion of Victorian life.
