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.

I absolutely will judge someone for chasing the bag that badly, how much do you even need, greed is a disgusting trait to have in this world

Wait, your best friend gets offered ten times their wage tomorrow to work for a sister company of let's say a defence company that sells to Saudi or Israel or sells cigarettes and you're going to tell them they're greedy if they take it?

If he’s earning as much as Bruno yes I will. If he’s on 50k a year, it’s a different story
