When someone(usually a woman) trades his/her current situation, spouse and overall lifestyle for a better, more extravangant one. It is similar to gold digger, but normally the ones who are "Trading Up" can live on their own and already have money, but want more along with the fairy-tale love aspect of life.

Did you see Jerome last night? I made a rage trade this morning to get him into my side, pity I miss out on those 12 points.
