[QUOTE="questor70, post: 1271559, member: 12560"] He was getting paid $500K a year? Even for a crappy work/life balance that is something. I wonder how much of that gets burned up in silicon valley cost of living? I doubt his vaunted "financial independence" would last long paying to live in that area without a fulltime job. That being said, I think the moral of the story is money doesn't buy happiness. A man's ego takes the two biggest hits when his wife leaves him and when he gets fired and he's now taken them in quick succession. He has the deadpan face down but if things keep going this way I can see him offering us one final life-hacking tip of jumping from the Golden Gate bridge.

Then his life becomes yet another reality-show soap-opera as we watch the unfolding car-crash. [/QUOTE]
