Not married

Have a wife who worships the ground you walk on since the time away from home will tax any marriage.

Have some sort of job that allows you to come and go as you please and yet still pays you.

Win the lotto.

Have a wife who comes from money who fits description #2.

Not be planning on raising a family and spending time with them.

Have a family member with money who'll support you monetarily.
