I don't buy it. He deserves that lifestyle because the job he does requires an advanced education, and we're constantly told these jobs are critically important to society and that there's a massive shortage of these workers. Hence, they deserve pay high enough to afford an upper-middle-class lifestyle, which definitely does not mean living in a small apartment with roommates or anything like that. If you're saying that he does not deserve an upper-middle-class lifestyle with a higher-than-median-price car, then we've been sold a bill of goods. If I wanted to live in a tiny apartment with roommates and never get married and have a family (because what woman is going to do that with you when you can't afford your own place?), then why would I bother going to college for a difficult degree, racking up student loan debt, and working hard in a difficult profession to build up a professional resume and quality work experience? I could just go work at a grocery store, and/or get on welfare, right? What exactly is the point of striving to accomplish something if you're not going to be rewarded for it at all?
