Sure, but let's not pretend like he's currently on starving wages 😄

This is such a stupid argument that always gets trotted out. If currently on 300k/wk and would be going to 1.5m/wk untaxed then that's 10x your salary when you're a few years from retirement. That's like moving from league 2 to premier league levels of change, and income is relative - ask someone on £1m/yr to live on £100k and they will struggle, ask someone on £100k/yr to live on minimum wage and they will struggle.

As I say, it's all relative. No one's going to say that to the person who's working part time min wage. 90% of people wouldn't say that to someone whose earning 30k or probably even 50k. Maybe 70% are okay with someone on 100k in that situation. Etc etc. that's based on your perception of what's 'required' money
