Arrogance is living beyond your means. I don't care what industry you're in, if you reply on over time (open time for the 9E guys) to make ends meet, you are irresponsible with your money.
There's a certain level of maturity one earns from living through hard times. It sounds like you've never been laid off, furloughed, or downgraded. It sounds like you haven't ever experienced when open time dries up and all you can get is 75 hours a month. You've never experienced $20,000 per year pay for airline pilots. Quite frankly, I hope you never do have to go through any of that. I wouldn't wish that on any pilot. The reality is this is a volatile industry and while the economy is up right now, it will go down. If you don't like me being blunt about your financial irresponsibility, too bad. I'm trying to help you out by giving you some advice from someone who has lived and learned.
It doesn't matter what job you have or how much you make, living beyond your means is stupid. If you rely on making over guarantee in this business to make ends meet, you are living beyond your means. Infer what you want beyond that, I don't really care. I'm just giving you a little dose of reality. If you follow it, you'll thank me the next time the economy goes south and pilots are just another cost that must be controlled.
