If the dude had put the equity into rental property instead of outdoor water features and BBQs, he wouldn’t be where he is now… A lot of East European folk with his background (with his job, he was obviously handy) did that and are doing pretty well with it.

And funny that him being a “wonderful provider” (13:25) was more important to chubby wifey than him being a good person. Bet she was clamoring for upgrades and toys for the kids more than anyone else when times were good.

Doesn’t seem to be much love from her end, just guilt.
