Spending your 20’s at La Defense was not exactly the plan, but after watching Scorcese’s latest, you decided in the end not to quit your stockbroker job to start a high school rock n’ roll band and hit the road to California on Route 66. Even if you’re unfazed by standing 12 hours in front of 3 screens, you’ve given finance a second chance for a new life project: becoming a druggie/sex addict/banker wanker.
Well we’re here to help you! Here’s what you should do (or pretend to do) to keep that 80’s Wall Street dream alive
1. Dressing sharp
Where: Fly straight to Napoli for a Rubinacci suit
What: Custom made suits… doing coke.
When: As much as your closet can hold.
