Well its between financial comfort (making 400-500k), and a life of wage slavery. If I make enough, I can retire and do what I want in life. If I dont make enough, I will live the only time I have alive a slave
In most cases, people on high incomes spend far more and save very little. In spite of initial good intentions, they end up not retiring until much later than initially planned. Concurrently they accrue various aliments which further impacts upon their quality of life.
In practice people are slaves to their egos and aspirations. The option to live in a low-cost area, doing lesser paid, but fulfilling work is to many a less appealing choice.
