It is my duty to my family to give them the best life I can. Pretty hard to do at 45k a year.
He wasn't trying to claim to be an aviation success story... what I took from his post is that he is happy with the job... just maybe not the pay.
We work a lot of our waking hours... it is nice to be able to do something you enjoy, although there certainly are sacrifices.
