Quote #1
When it was just Denny and me, he used to make up to ten thousand dollars a month just by calling people on the telephone, like the commercial said. But after Eve became pregnant, he took his job behind the counter of the auto shop that serviced only expensive German cars. (7.1)
It sounds like Denny's old job was clearly raking in the big bucks. Coupled with his personality and his cute dog, it's no wonder Eve thought he was a keeper.
Quote #2
Maxwell and Trish, the Twins, lived in a very fancy house on a large parcel of wooded land on Mercer Island, with an amazing view of Lake Washington and Seattle. And for having such a beautiful place to live, they were among the most unhappy people I've ever met. (15.2)
It's not surprising that despite the Twins flaunting their social status and financial stability, they're unhappy, since they find fault in everything. They live in a McMansion, and they're still unhappy. What do they want? Oh, wait, we know this. They want custody of Zoë.
Quote #3
[Mike and Tony] didn't live far from us. Their house was small but represented a different level of income; Tony had stood in the right place at the right time, Denny said, and would never have to worry about money again. Such is life. Such is manifesting. (49.2)
Mike and Tony—unlike the Twins, who seem to throw their money around and invest in grand expenditures—live comfortably and securely. This also makes them seem like nicer people, since they don't rub their financial status in anyone's face.
