As someone who is some of those things as well, I would love to know what the wife and/or child are doing during all those activities. Because something has to give when you're doing that much.
In my experience, that balance is really hard, and even in the most hospitable, high-quality-of-life places, that balance is not exactly always something that is nurtured and valued by the systems in place.
I think he really is just built different. I'm good friends with both parents, and knew his wife long before he did. Both of them are working on higher education, kid goes to daycare most days every week. It's not like he never sees his son either. Usually when I hang out, we're watching his boy while we play BG3, which is nice because he can just walk away for a minute whenever a diaper needs changed
Having recieved a large sum of life insurance money after his father passed away certainly helped with the house buying and the car maintaining and the education pursuing, but his time management is pure skill
I wonder if your friend can sleep only five hours and still function to the maximum. Apparently it is genetics. Napoleon and Thatcher could sleep less than 7 hours and could still think sharp and be fresh as a daisy.
Welp, don't know about Napoleon, but Thatcher pulled some stupid and evil shit.
Maybe if she had slept more, we could have had a better world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
