Wine &

DineBOL Advisory Group

It’s not what you think, she’s putting

her money into MY pocket!

She better wine and dine me before she thinks she

can take me home

No, I don’t want to cook a complicated breakfast the next morning

with eggs, waffles and

stuff like that

I want to grab an

orange and hit the

road. Eating fancy food

is what Starbucks

breakfast is for!

Seriously, you booked our anniversary dinner at a bourgeois

restaurant??

I’d rather eat KFC and

then watch Netflix for a

I went out for a date in Ann

Arbor one time, and when I told her I don’t like

sushi, she almost broke up

with me right there

Now I actually like

sushi, but I don’t

like her. Go figure

We’re gonna have to tighten our belts from now on, honey

I could have got us a dinner

for two, a movie, a bottle of wine, and prophylactics all for under

$19.95…

Can’t believe I let you

talk me into going to

that fancy place and

letting you spend $20 on

the appetizers alone!

Shhh! I’m checking my bank account.

Don’t tell him I make more money than him

Even the scientific method does not have a satisfying response to the intrigue of ‘social mobility’

Results

Before After

Fantasies Realities Cash & Assets

Social Mobility is no more a tangible

concept than The American Dream or

American Exceptionalism, yet it nonetheless

has a powerful pull on our hearts and minds

Many of us at one time or another are guilty

of espousing strong rhetoric about ‘changing

the world’, ‘helping people’ or ‘making an

impact’, when in actuality our goals can often

be boiled down to either stacking up enough

money to buy a house in a ‘better

neighborhood’ or accumulating enough

social status in order to join ‘the cool kids’

that we long aspired to join

Example: I love U-M, but I’m going to

a school in Chicago for my MBA

Perhaps conservative folks despise hip-hop

culture so much because deep down the

motto of ‘get money, f*** b*****s’ holds up a

mirror that reveals the truth about their own

simple yet hidden ambitions

Kendrick Lamar (who is a media

darling and just won 5 Grammys) is

admired for being a smart rapper with

a new sound, and he opens his latest

album with the thought-provoking line:

“When I get signed, homie,

I’mma act a fool”

Get yourself together and gather some

assets

Develop strong relationships with people

from all walks of life

Stay healthy, stay motivated, stay determined…

forget about silly parties and cheap

entertainment

Accumulate the ends of your success and use that to build the next phase of your

life, whether that is a new marriage to a loving partner or a new marriage to a

different game
