Couple singing karaoke at home. The steel decoration next to his head says, "LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH." Though they look comfy, all is not well. Making $200,000 a year, he was a Senior Product Manager for Acqconet Technology, but has been unemployed for three years. She was laid off more than a year ago. Giang, my buddy from high school, is now studying health care management, though it's far from certain he will get a job after graduation. One must do something. When Giang was rolling in the bucks, he spent freely, including a $14,000 Rolex watch for his now ex-wife, but he was also prudent enough to pay off his three houses, and save some, so if nothing comes through, Giang can still eat, drink and sing badly as he drags his fat ass into old age. OK, OK, Giang, I'm sorry, that was a cheap shot, I know you're on a diet, and good luck with that. Remember, no root beer sundaes, especially just before bed.
