Whenever I hear someone opining whether someone "needs" a certain amount I am reminded of this quote:
"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
So do you really "need" a new truck? There are people out there walking to work. Do you really "need" a bigger house? A boat?
You see, there are a lot of things that we as ordinary pilots don't really need, just like CEOs don't "need" $1.1 million in compensation. We are arguing about degrees. Who do you think should be the arbiter of what a person "needs?"
