i tried to explain things once...she didnt care. all she likes to hear is "i made another grad today before my coworkers got in...". as long as i am winning instead of losing..she doesnt care.
Neither my family nor my women understand what I do (and I'm not even talking about multi-factor models for pricing exotics) - they have a basic idea but that is about it. Married? No way, I am kept far too busy with Statistical BARBIETRAGE Ahh, diversification, it works on so many levels
24, Married and profitable but that is all earnings before income taxes and wife (EBITW). Not much left after that for me.
married, and hubby is glad i do what i do. he finds my trading boring, so i don't give him many details, but if something goes particularly well, i mention it and he's happy for me (us). actually, to address what was said earlier about what women look for in men, men are clueless. that is why they do all the wrong things and get all the wrong types of women and then complain that it's the woman's fault. when i was but a wee lass (teenager), i met hubby in college. usually, at that age, women are looking for an attractive male. i was no exception and found hubby cute, but i was also looking for someone who would love me to the ends of the earth and back. as i got to know him better, i realized that increasingly it mattered to me that a man have very strong character as well. now, years later, those things are still important to me. i guess that's why the marriage is still a happy one. it really annoys me to hear guys say stuff like that women want money and fast cars, etc. these men are sooooo clueless. these are shallow values. if you go for women with these values and try to play up to these values then don't complain when what you get is a shallow, obnoxious, unpleasant person to live with, because it's what you asked for and therefore it's what you deserve.
