If you want to drink milk, you will just go and buy milk. Who the hell will go and buy a cow?

If you need sex, just go visit FL. Why the hell go and get married?

If you need someone to do house work, just get a maid, why get married?

Marriage can only be viable if the woman is rich, comes from a wealthy and influential family, and has connections that can boost your career.

Just ask Wong Kan Seng. It did wonders for him. Ugly, not eloquent, unimpressive CV, reprehensible character. He still gets to be a minister.:rolleyes:

marriage is not an investment! you will lose alot in terms of monetary terms or in time.

it is more than sex and domestic help. it is more like a charity than an investment.

because you must have the heart to be generous and give alot!

you have to understand the universal wisdom of it is more much blessed to give than to receive.

marriage unites man and woman into one body!

the connection of two souls and spirit into one.

it is an act of commitment and responsibility!

an assurance for each other.

a stable home for which children can grow up with.

legally it provides a guarantee for the weaker sex.

finally a marriage is blessed by God!

try to hold your wife or girlfriend hands whenever you snuggle beside her on the couch everyday.

and tell me if that feels good? can you get the same feelings with a prostitute or a maid?

what more do you want? :biggrin:

Now this could be an investment
Only problem is it is quite illiquid
Liquidity is key to all speculative ventures
As are risk management and trading plan
And never ever put all eggs in one basket
Put them in a few and watch those carefully
Take your eyes off and can end up like Stanley

Marriage is also a way to get foreign exchange out of the country - Guess the Race!


How do rich Chinese elude foreign exchange laws to move their money abroad? Take your pick of ways

Chinese law limits individual citizens to the equivalent of US$50,000 per year in foreign exchange, meaning that anyone who wants to spend more than that overseas must look for alternative ways to move money out.

For example, that amount would be far from enough to successfully acquire a US immigration green card through investment.

The United States, the top destination for Chinese emigrants, requires they invest US$1 million, or at least US$500,000 in a targeted employment area, according to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

In 2013, three-quarters of US investment immigration visas were issued to Chinese nationals, with 6,124 Chinese receiving US green cards through the scheme - almost eight times more than in 2010, according to the annual Report on Chinese International Migration 2014, published by the Centre for China and Globalisation. The report says the number of Chinese immigrants reached 9.34 million last year, and China is now the world's fourth-largest source country for migrants.

Besides the Bank of China's Youhuitong service, which has come under scrutiny after state media alleged it may be breaking foreign exchange laws, the following seven methods are used to transfer money overseas.

Family and friends

Split the transfer among as many identities as possible. With 20 people, it's easy to transfer US$1 million out of the country. This has been a popular way to avoid the restrictions. It is also low in cost. Many think it's the best method for transfers of less than US$1 million.

Underground money changers

A client transfers funds to the money changer's mainland account first. Then the money changer will remit the equivalent in foreign currency to the customer's overseas account. However, these underground money changers usually only do business with people they know. Immigration agencies may help introduce them.

Private banking

Banks on the mainland help their wealthy clients open overseas accounts within the same bank. After that, they can apply for loans overseas and get foreign currency. Usually this method requires deposits of between 6 million and 10 million yuan (HK$7.5 million to HK$12.6 million).

Trade

After setting up offshore companies, owners on the mainland can either use fake trade contracts to transfer money or they can report high import prices and low export prices to help money flow overseas.

Direct business investment

Company owners or board members can choose to invest in foreign companies. It's easy for them to transfer money out. State authorities have been encouraging private companies to expand overseas and have cut out many complicated procedures on foreign exchange.

Marriage

People who have married a foreign citizen can more easily transfer money out.


Travel with cash

For those who choose to take a large risk.
