   No, it cannot. It can buy you a golddigger with some "financial acumen"   
   though.

   then you are a deluded old fool.

   Indeed it does, but I don't beleive you actually know anything about any   
   of that. To you, it's all about the dollars. In fact, you appear to   
   believe that all women are prostitutes: in it for the money.
