The moral of the story...do not live above your means! He was buying expensive things and felt pressure to extort businesses and clients to fund his lifestyle.

I used to live above my means too. Then I went into foreclosure and filed bankruptcy. Now I live well below my means and the peace of mind that I have is priceless.
