[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m female in my late 40s and make $500k.  My kids are taken care of and their father makes just under $1M.

I get what you’re looking for—someone who can keep up with you financially and culturally.  It’s expensive to travel to Europe for 2 weeks in summer, spend 2 weeks skiing in the winter, and have a few long weekends.  You’re future partner needs to be able to pay their own way.  People on DCUM are so quick to tell women who want a more extravagant lifestyle to get their own money.  Well, you have your own money.  I don’t see why what you’re looking for is unreasonable.  However, in the DC area it’s probably not realistic.  You need to look in NY or Silicon Valley.[/quote]

Vomit. And yes, you are right. Those men are not in DC. Which is why I told a family member to leave 20 years ago...and he did and now very wealthy.[/quote]

What is there to vomit about?[/quote]

You live in an unrealistic bubble about what matters. It is especially disgusting since you have money and waste it on “lifestyle” and BS appearances.[/quote]

Lady, stocks are on sale. You’re an idiot. There are plenty of index funds that will do very very well if you buy in now.

Sorry.  Money does matter.  It's all well and good to be idealistic that love conquers all.  And then reality creeps in and life is expensive.  How many people on DCUM outsource everything that they can?  That's not trivial money.  If OP wants to travel then that's what's important to her.  You many consider it a waste on "lifestyle" but at 40 with a grown child, what do you think she should be doing?  Her kid is off to college, she has her retirement money already.  I have no idea what sort of non wasteful lifestyle expenses you think she should be spending her money on.[/quote]

Investing it. Not spending 40k a year on travel and 15k on country club memberships. It is vapid.[/quote]

Ok here: hi , go ahead tell me where I should be investing. I am open for your ideas. I personally couldn’t find anything better than CDs and waiting out for housing crash sitting on cash for the next 2 years. So please, tell me your secret stocks. I exited stocks in the fall

You are an idiot. Stocks are on sale. There are plenty of vanguard index funds to invest in that will bounce back in the future anybody who invest should know that they are playing the long game and you are stupid to sell stocks in the fall. Dumb.[/quote]

They will fall this week again, you'll see. With Putin dumping all the USD back into market artificially keeping national currency overvalued, Eastern Europeans (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Baltic states) all selling assets and bringing USD to the US consumers, Russia default looming and another interest rate hike in the fall, staying away from stock is only choice. [/quote]

I keep my stocks for 10 to 20 years. Who cares about next week?[/quote]

I hope you are not older than 35 y.o. and are able to afford not ever recalibrate your portfolio, keep it in stocks and don't maintain a healthy cushion of bonds, CDs, REITs and cash. If you are already 55, you are screwed and have to work for the next 15 years to recover, while I (OP) am enjoying my travels. [/quote]

I am your age, well diversified, and much smarter than you. [/quote]
