I understand, but are you sure you are in the right industry to achieve this sequence?

^^This. I would prefer to be wealthy over both power and fame, no question.

A typical finance fuy's answer. When you get old, with your filthy wealth, you probably will ask for more political influence. It's a proved normal route, don't you see it?

1) Influence can be bought 2) Being old is a hell of a lot less painful when you have cash

Even though I exclude health for my ranking, it is a no brainer a first priority. If you truly feel it deserves a bottom rank, good luck! All I can say.

I can assure you none of the homeless people is happy. Some of them just have to pretend to be. Otherwise, it is unbearable for even one more day.

After family and health, wealth and prestige trump all. For men, once you're past a certain age, looks don't matter as much in terms of attracting women. The high school/college social hierarchy whereby the best looking guys and jocks got all the attention get inverted as the geeks start going to prestigious schools and getting kickass jobs that pay great money. With this comes increased social confidence, a sense of bravado, that women find extremely attractive.

So Brady, which of the types are you, in all seriousness, I'm very curious.

I'm a geek who is in really good shape and likes sports. But I'm introverted and don't like being around people whose entire social lives revolve around big 10 football or the cubs and bears. The Chicago social scene has been quite disappointing in that regard, and it's one area where I think NYC is better since the latter has more interesting people from all walks of life. I'm not as nearly as wealthy as I would like to be, but hopefully I will get there in due time. In terms of prestige, I went to pretty good schools but not quite what I wanted. I'll leave it at that.

Ok. I just read the other thread by the OP. He/she is clearly a troll.

Hearing this from my favorite ID made me sad, maybe a little. I demand to know your logic why I'm a troll. Who the **** would waste time to do some nonsense like a 9 year old? I'm here to contribute to the monkey family and add some fun to the social part of this site, given how fun lovng I am.

Maybe you're not a troll. But your writing is very similar to what the trolls write. Also is that pic really you? Because I have no idea why anyone would post their real pic on an internet forum. If you're NOT a troll, then my apologies. This is just my conclusion based on that other thread.
