A Los Angeles-based Reddit user has taken an unconventional approach to year-end financial planning. The anonymous bachelor, who describes himself as “not a total loser” despite nursing $1.2 million in capital losses, is seeking a profitable partnership — quite literally.
The enterprising romantic has posted a proposal on r/wallstreetbets offering to split tax savings with anyone carrying over $1 million in short-term capital gains. His business plan for matrimonial bliss includes a lawyer-approved agreement and a generous 60-40 split of the tax benefits.
The time-sensitive proposal comes with some unique terms: a slight preference for female partners (to avoid future explanations about same-sex marriage), proximity to the Los Angeles area, and most crucially, a wedding before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.
The successful candidate stands to gain approximately $120,000 in tax savings, proving that while love may be priceless, a strategic marriage in Los Angeles apparently has a very specific price tag.
The self-described high earner assures potential matches that despite his significant market losses, he maintains a respectable income of “several hundred thousand a year” and a “good job” — though potential spouses may want to steer clear of his investment advice.
