The idea is that he could have been making a lot more money in the private sector, but made a huge financial sacrifice to serve the country by aiding the conservative cause. But surely Snow expected that his time as presidental press secretary would qualify him for a financially rewarding position in the conservative establishment, but his unexpected cancer will probably remove that possibility.

Bought the most expensive house he could get a mortgage on with a jumbo no interest loan. Now he's got his insurance co. dicking him around on his cancer treatment payments, messing with his credit. Stuck in a white elephant that's lost a third of it's value since he moved in that he can't refinance. Welcome to George Bush's Your On Your Own Society Tony. Once everybody else bails out of the WH maybe Bush can get Henry Kissinger to come over and pray with him. Maybe Snow took some bad real estate advice.
