Don't worry about that guy. There are guys on here that think it is absolutely ridiculous that anyone would ever pick up anything above what you are awarded. Most of those guys have parents that bought them houses and BMW's, wives that make more than they do, no kids, etc.

You get a pass on first year pay for doing whatever it takes to make it work. Most guys (other than the one's described above) will also buy your drinks and food on layovers the first year.
