Yes, he always talks a good story about having lots of money and choices to do what he wants, well dressed and in high demand with the ladies, the world is your oyster, etc.
But in reality, he's tied down by his wife, some middle-aged heifer who controls many aspects of his life, except of course his fictional ramblings on AN.
