Yes, he may have made good decision and "sacrifices" (as he calls it) but the bottom line is that it wouldn't have happened without a very high paying job to start with.
The basic fact is that not everybody can have a high paying job. Great for those that do, but it's literally impossible for everybody to be a doctor, engineer, CEO, etc.
Welcome to the real world. Not everybody without a high paying job is lazy, stupid or on drugs.
So, so out of touch. It's unbelievable.
