G was always surrounded by friends and family. He entertained them with his easy-going ways. There was always laughter and enough food for anyone around. One could say that he led a luxurious life with wine, women and song. However, he never forgot his parents and his immediate family members. H, on the other hand, was frugal. He had a low-paying job but he managed to give a proper education to his five children who eventually obtained decent jobs. Years passed. G had become friendless because his resources had run out.

She, however, had the financial resources because earlier on she had invested in the property market.
