It might just be that most people’s value systems prioritize giving advantages to their children and/or securing one’s retirement above their values.

People who put maximizing income above their values aren't actually putting anything above their values. Maximizing income is one of their values.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. But, in my experience, that's not representative of most people.

It's always impressive what one can justify for their children, isn't it?
