I bet a lot of people were encouraged to take more money.

Does a car salesman encourage you to step up in size, model or options?

Does a clothing salesman try to sell you up? Or add accessories?

Does an appliance salesman try to sell you more bells and whistles?

Answer: Of course, they do! It's their friggin' job!

Ultimately, it's up to the customer to a.) decide what they want, b.) whether they can afford it and c.) make their own decisions.

Consumers should not have to be protected from the consequences of their own decisions.

I agree and I don’t recall complaining about them trying to push more money at me. I was stating a fact.
