He has a limited income and attempts to use finances wisely. Due to his schedule, he has few friends and little leisure time. He relays that he has been diagnosed with high blood pressure and has a family history of cardiovascular disease.

For lunch he packs a bologna sandwich, a bag of Corn chips and a Cola and eats at his desk. After making calls and finalizing several deals, he leaves the office around 6 pm. Several times a week, he meets clients for dinner. Today he is having dinner with a couple of guys at a local steak house. After dinner and a business session, he returns home around 10 pm.
