In the real world: he makes 75k, she only 50k

Her dufus-level salary is understandable, because she had given birth to not just one career-killer, but two of them.  Right now, she is one her way over to daycare, (which costs $250 weekly) because little Scotty sneezed - twice!  Funny - not - it's always her who has to take unplanned leave.

Anyway, a few years later, she is more than fed up - no surprise, all drudgery and stress...  She files for divorce, the house gets sold, the ex-spouses each get half - that is, after the bank gets the unpaid balance.  Each half, however, is taking a beating; not only with the in-freaking-sane housing costs, but each is burdened with around 15 to 20k in yet outstanding lawyer fees.  

She had considered going for alimony, but it's not like her ex is a millionaire - not to mention, a $300 monthly check for, maybe,  three years, would likely get about eaten up by lawyer fees, and then there's what few personal hours she has on the books; those would end up consumed in the process. Anyway, she considers herself fortunate, since her ex's employer deducts the child support before sending him his pay - so the CS money, which goes to feed and clothe her kids, arrives on time to her account. 

Looking back, he kicks himself for not having had his ex sign a prenuptial agreement.  But, really, the 3k document wouldn't have much mattered, since they'd both bought the house.  Oh wait, had there been a pre-nup, he'd of been able to keep his bass-boat - ya know, the one that's parked over at his buddy's house; the tub needs to be moved...eh, somewhere else, because the "couple of weeks" is nearing the third year.  His buddy said something about his township, but it's probably more about him either wanting to extend his deck, or put in a swimming pool - maybe both.  

Some people have all the luck - grouse grouse.

Did he really slog through that thing?

Or was owning a copy of Maciavelli's "Prince" more like a bragging prop, and less about serious study - though frankly, the 16th century author was a humanist.  (Seriously, if the book isn't Christ centered, might as well go enjoy a dollar-store spy novel.)  Anyway, the pointy-eared red-piller was bragging, how the strange chick, he had over at his place...but hey, anyone can claim anything, over the internet; for all we know, he could be staying in his girlfriend's apartment, driving her car, posting on her internet - while she's slogging between two retail jobs.  Meanwhile, he expects her to put on lingerie, when she can't afford to buy herself a needed outfit ... for work.

Most of these guys claim to be political conservatives, but their preferences don't support "Making America Great Again."  One doesn't have to slog through piles of political volumes, to understand that great nations are not sustained by people who prefer folly over accomplishment (only possible, through delaying gratification) and by people who deceive their clients/readers rather than remain above board - come on, if you're going to b.s. some 304, if the opportunity arises, (perhaps, unlike the doped up eggplant) who else you going to rip off?  Do not foul practices become habits...try quitting the cigarettes :/

Anyway, when this nation was great - uhm, when even impoverished neighborhoods were reasonably safe - two widely read books had been, the Bible and Pilgrim's Progress.  Meanwhile, pointy-ears crows on about his awesome self.  John Bunyan spent some twelve years of his life, behind bars, because he believed that getting the Gospel out - that which rescues souls from eternal torture - was most important; meanwhile,  the government church - with their high sounding salvation-by-works twaddle - had about dropped the ball, and instead, had been (and still are) longtime focused on raking in dough.

He then goes into the same-old gamey narrative, of the girl going on to marry Jeffrey, (noble name :) while still savoring that certain sweaty encounter, those years ago, in pointy ears' shabby flat.  Yeah right!  Meanwhile, Jeffrey is raking in some 200k, and he and his wife and children are living quite well, in a spacious - and nearly paid off - 500k house.  Yep, while pointy-ears squandered his early years on various folly, nerdy Jeff spent his cracking the books and actually doing the work.

Once again, not surprised, pointy-ears brings up that size issue - being less than six feet.  As if there aren't any young single five foot two inch women, with whom to possibly team up?  Excuses, excuses.
