I can tell you that if you "show your cards" and are denied, that you won't be on the top of the list for "good" jobs, assignments, schools, etc. By the same token, when the "less desirable bills" have to be paid, you will be high on the list---the palace chase attempt not being the only factor. Stage manager in some craphole location and they need someone there next week. You will pop up on the boss's mind as one of the first to go. "He wants to get out" will be a consideration in their selection.
